As total broadband access subscriber rates and usage rise by leaps and bounds each year, service providers and municipalities of all kinds and sizes are facing a challenge: addressing customer and resident demands, respectively, for quick service delivery and high-speed network access at a low cost. Fiber In The Sky has brought together experienced installation teams from both the Broadband ISP companies and the consulting industry to blend a unique understanding of the challenges involved in delivering wireless products and services without disruption.

FITS's experience in Wireless Broadband helps control cost by reducing the number of circuits and by eliminating the need to install new conduit in multi-building campuses. FITS utlizes a consultative approach which includes site surveys to confirm the best solution. Broadband can be delivered by Wireless Antennas to any location, including remote and rural areas.

Last Mile Market Growth
Global Information, Inc. estimates that by the end of the decade, over 700 million broadband access lines will be in operation globally – with broadband requirements per household doubling every 18-24 months. Despite this accelerating demand for broadband access around the world, lack of infrastructure remains a formidable barrier to addressing customer needs. Broadband wireless networks will increasingly provide the solution. Global Information predicts that 15-20% of the broadband connections in markets with well developed fixed infrastructure will be based on wireless networks. In all other countries, over 50% of broadband will use wireless.
