Leading Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP) in Colorado Acquires Northwest Denver WISP
EVERGREEN, Colo., March 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Wisper Telecommunications, Inc. (d/b/a WisperTel), one of the nation's leading providers of wireless broadband solutions headquartered in Evergreen, today announced it has acquired Path / Broadband Services, Inc. Path provides wireless Internet service in and around Arvada, Aurora, Broomfield, Denver, Golden, Greenwood Village, Lafayette, Louisville, Parker, Superior and Westminster.
"WisperTel is anxious to extend its highly reliable Internet and E-phone/VoIP services, together with our excellent in-house customer care to Path's 200 subscribers said Barry Pier, President and CEO of WisperTel. Pier further noted, "Path's pre-WiMAX technology is compatible with WisperTel's existing network and their service area is contiguous with our coverage in the greater Denver area."
State-of-the-art pre-WiMAX and WiMAX broadband wireless networks -- not to be confused with early generation Wi-Fi or satellite Internet -- have proven in the last few years to be a very effective, reliable and economical way to provide broadband services to suburban and rural communities that are under-served by other Internet providers.
Basically, an ultra-low power radio signal (less than a cell phone) is transmitted from a tower or rooftop to small antennas mounted on a home or office. This radio signal delivers Internet data symmetrically (same speed up and down), with speeds of up to seven megabits per second (7 Mbps), which is 270 times faster than dialup and much faster than DSL or satellite Internet services. Pier added, "Few other Wireless Internet Service Providers can match the affordable price, high quality and reliability and superior customer support WisperTel delivers today in Colorado."
