Small Business Broadband Houston
The Challenges of Small Business Broadband in Houston
For a small business, the costs of business-grade broadband can be a significant monthly expense.
A Flexible, Reliable Option for Small Business Broadband in Houston
Airband offers small businesses a flexible, reliable alternative to wireline broadband. With our fixed-wireless network, you can choose the exact level of service that you need: no more, no less. This can provide a significant cost savings to you, especially as your bandwidth needs increase as your business grows.
A standard T1 line, the basic business-level broadband speed, delivers 1.54 mbps. To increase the speed, multiple T1 lines must be installed and bonded together, creating a bonded T1 line in increments of 1.54 mbps.
With fixed-wireless Internet access from Airband, customers have more options to customize their service to meet their exact bandwidth demands. Airband offers bandwidth increments from 3 mbps up to GigE speeds at more affordable rates than traditional services from the local phone or cable companies
For example, eight T1 lines bonded together (or roughly 12 mbps) cost about the same as a DS3 connection which provides about 45 mbps. Business owners often make the switch to DS3 when they really only need 15 mbps because of the costs.
Airband allows you to choose that 15 mbps speed, resulting in a much lower cost than the DS3 connection(45 mbps). We can do this because of our fixed wireless network is not limited to the physical capacities of cable or fiber. Since our service is transmitted wirelessly, the infrastructure is the same whether you’re getting 3 mbps or 9 mbps. This makes our service at higher bandwidths significantly cheaper than wireline alternatives.
Another advantage is that Airband Internet access service is delivered via Ethernet, so you can connect our service directly to your LAN without additional termination equipment, as with T1 lines.
