BroadbandOne Expands Fixed Wireless Access into Savannah

BroadbandOne's Licensed mmWave Spectrum offers high speed, multigig, low latency service for enterprise applications, ensuring 99.99% service availability to the region

SAVANNAH, Ga., March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ --  Broadband One, Inc., doing business as BroadbandOne (BB1), a leader in wireless network innovation and a pioneer in the deployment of Telco as a Service (TaaS) solutions, has successfully launched high-speed, low-latency broadband service in Savannah, Ga.  This strategic expansion extends BB1's enterprise-grade connectivity solutions to this growing Southeast US market, reinforcing the company's commitment to bridging broadband gaps and delivering both alternatives and complements to existing fiber networks.

The Savannah launch marks BB1's second market expansion, following its successful deployment in Salinas, Calif. in October when it announced a strategic partnership with Etheric Networks, a premier California internet service provider (ISP). The company plans further Southeast growth into additional markets where it holds licensed 28GHz mmWave spectrum, including Athens, Augusta, and Columbia, SC.

Savannah's historic district and regulatory landscape present challenges for fiber deployment, with strict local rules limiting underground infrastructure projects. BB1's licensed FIxed Wireless Access (FWA) with mmWave technology solution eliminates these barriers, enabling businesses to access fiber-like performance without the need for disruptive trenching or cabling.

"With FWA-mmWave, all we need is a rooftop and a clear line of sight from our tower—now businesses have access to high-speed, enterprise-grade internet without the wait," said Jason Celaya, Director of Business Development at BroadbandOne. "One of BB1's biggest advantages is our ability to speed up market access. In areas where fiber deployment is still years away, we offer a faster alternative."

BB1's licensed spectrum advantage differentiates it from other wireless providers in the region. Unlike unlicensed solutions that may suffer from congestion and interference, BB1's exclusive mmWave spectrum delivers interference-free, high-capacity broadband with a 99.99% uptime guarantee.

Key benefits of BB1's licensed FWA-mmWave service in Savannah include:

• Multigigabit speeds for business-critical applications
• Low latency for seamless cloud services, video conferencing, and data-intensive workloads
• 99.99% availability, backed by real-time monitoring and network redundancy
• Fast deployment, overcoming the challenges of fiber construction delays

BB1's expansion into Georgia is part of a broader strategy to leverage its licensed mmWave spectrum across key markets. The company is actively seeking local Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP) and fiber partners to integrate and enhance service portfolios in underserved and hard-to-reach markets.

"We are committed to delivering a high-capacity, cost-effective broadband solution that complements fiber's strengths," Celaya added. "Markets that need immediate connectivity shouldn't have to wait for fiber buildouts. BB1's solution fills that gap today while supporting long-term fiber growth in parallel."

Beyond Savannah, Athens, Augusta, and Columbia, SC, BB1 has set its sights on future expansions into East Texas and West Louisiana, further strengthening its presence in markets where fiber deployment remains limited.
