NextWave and Airspan Unveil the Next Phase of Revolutionary Private Network Expansion in Major U.S. Cities
In the first phase, NextWave achieved significant milestones by establishing a robust foundation with 120 base stations in the
Central to this expansion is the strategic utilization of NextWave's 50MHz of 2.5 GHz Band 41 spectrum, a rare and valuable asset in today's congested digital landscape. With 20MHz dedicated exclusively to customer use and another 20MHz earmarked for an advanced overlay network. The overlay network is a game-changer, designed to offer seamless, wide-area coverage akin to that provided by major network operators (MNOs), but with the tailored flexibility and security that only a private network can offer. This overlay ensures that essential services such as transportation, public safety, and critical infrastructure operate with uninterrupted connectivity, showcasing a commitment to reliability and performance.
Frank Cassou, President and CEO of NextWave, expressed enthusiasm for the project's next phase, stating, "With this expansion, we're not just building a network; we're crafting a backbone for the future of urban mobility and connectivity. Our dedicated 2.5 GHz spectrum allocation allows us to deliver a service that stands in a league of its own."
Echoing this sentiment, Henrik Smith-Petersen, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer at Airspan, highlighted the vision behind the collaboration: "Our partnership with NextWave epitomizes innovation. By leveraging our combined strengths, we're setting new standards for what private networks can achieve, ensuring our customers enjoy unparalleled service quality and reliability."
As we gear up for the upcoming event in Mobile World Congress Barcelona, the spotlight is on this transformative project, underscoring a shared commitment to pushing the boundaries of technology and service.
