Rise Broadband

Rise Broadband started in 2015 and offers fixed wireless to sixteen states with over twenty million people able to log in to its service. Dedicated to providing its customers with reliable high-speed internet connections, Rise Broadband enables its users to connect to their favorite sites, streaming platforms, and gaming communities without delay. Focused on areas without DSL, cable, or fiber service, Rise Broadband has connected areas of the nation that would not normally have access to the world wide web through an affordable service without sacrificing quality. This has become more and more important as demand increases across the nation for high-speed internet, especially when the infrastructure that would normally allow for connection is not present.

Rise Broadband is the nation’s largest network based on a fixed wireless connection. Rise Broadband’s parent company, JAB Wireless Inc., was founded in 2005 and focuses on providing residential, commercial, enterprise broadband, and enterprise cloud services. It spun a portion of its company that formerly operated under Digis, Prairie iNet, Rhino Communications, and Skybeam into Rise Broadband in 2015 with the focus of providing underserved communities with broadband service for residential and commercial locations. As Rise Broadband continues to grow, it can be expected that more acquisitions and mergers will take place and that further access points granting service will be installed.

Rise Broadband’s fixed wireless technology is at the cutting edge. Able to deliver speeds anywhere from 3 Mbps to 1000 Mbps, its service can be compared to DSL, cable, and even fiber lines. Fixed wireless technology originates from a central hub, much like traditional connections through a grounded line. That is also where the difference lies though. Instead of running lines in the ground via cable, Rise Broadband instead uses a focused point-to-point wireless device that is pointed directly at the access point. This can sometimes be through a transmitter or antenna. As long as there is a clear line of sight to the Rise Broadband access point, service will be available. This is particularly beneficial in rural areas where the cost to lay DSL, cable, or fiber can often prohibit costs that just don’t make sense for either the company laying those lines or the end-user. It’s a great option for when a household does not have access to traditional grounded lines or if they are just tired of dealing with the cable companies.

Fixed wireless always Rise Broadband to have a massive coverage area where normally they would be sequestered to where lines have been laid. It allows them to often skip the major legal and economic considerations that a wired connection requires. Going even further, fixed wireless is able to use relay points that extend even further out than service would normally reach. The signal basically jumps from relay point to relay point even when the final signal is more than the few miles that Rise Broadband normally requires. Using these relay points can be particularly useful for major businesses with multiple sites, using the signal from the original site to extend to areas that couldn’t otherwise be served.
