American Bandwidth

As 5G macro networks get fully built out, and most carriers have turned their attention to C-Band macro deployments, the customer experience issues indoors have become more and more obvious. Outdoors, in most places, users have a great 5G experience, with high speeds and low latency. However, since most 5G spectrum is mid-band and above, it has trouble getting inside buildings, and indoor coverage suffers. Devices drop back to a lower speed network or try to hold onto 1 bar of 5G service, with the associated slow speeds and dropped calls. At the same time, Wi-Fi networks indoors have rapidly improved in quality, using the same OFDMA spectrum scheduling as LTE and 5G, and with a higher radio density and incredibly low latency. The good news is that there is a way to automatically and securely connect cellphones to your Wi-Fi network, and fully realize the promise of 5G: a converged, always-connected experience. Join The Coverage Revolution American Bandwidth has established relationships with major wireless carriers and can immediately improve your indoor wireless experience, at no cost to you. Thanks to the well-established #Passpoint standard from the Wi-Fi Alliance and the rapid quality and speed developments in Wi-Fi networks, now is a perfect time to join the #coveragerevolution and leap to our always-connected future. Get in contact, and we'll get your network connected.
