In a bid to meet the growing bandwidth demand from small and medium-sized businesses, Covad (News - Alert) Wireless, a subsidiary of Covad Communications Group, Inc., has launched Super-T 2.0 Mbps service. The service comes with all the features of fixed wireless broadband, including faster installations and service upgrade flexibility. Super-T 2.0 Mbps service is competitively priced with traditional landline T-1 services and offers up to 33 percent more speed.

 

"With businesses increasingly running bandwidth-intensive applications over their networks, our customers are looking for services that can take them up the next step of the bandwidth ladder," said Patrick Bennett, executive vice president of Covad Wireless in a statement to the press. "The new Super-T 2.0 Mbps service is another way Covad is meeting customer demand for reliable, high-speed broadband services at a competitive price."

 

Covad has been able to offer a competitive price for its Super-T 2.0 Mbps service, because the company has its own broadband wireless network. The new 2.0 Mbps service is a significant addition to Covad Wireless' portfolio, which includes T-1 replacement offerings from 768Kbps to 6.0 Mbps and high-capacity services up to 100 Mbps.

 

"The introduction of a 2.0 Mbps service by Covad Wireless shows how the technology can offer more flexible speeds at competitive prices, giving businesses the option to break out of the capacity limits of traditional T1 service," commented Brian Washburn, Research Director, Current Analysis.

 

Covad Wireless, a wireless internet service provider, manages fixed broadband wireless ideal for business customers. Covad Wireless serves 3,600 small and medium-sized businesses in the San Francisco Bay Area, the greater Los Angeles area, the Chicago suburbs, and Las Vegas.
