@Link will also utilize the core MPLS network to
provide voice, data and video to residential and enterprise subscribers
in competitive territory, utilizing a combination of WiMAX, DSL
and cable modem means. Over the period of five years, @Link will
consistently replace DSL and Cable Modem subscribers with WiMAX
access, thereby eliminating wholesale carrier costs and increasing
capacity to offer more services. @Link has developed a wireless
network interface device (WNI) that can provide a high speed connection
to the home and connect to existing inside wire for delivery of
voice, data or video. This technology has already been implemented
in Guthrie, Oklahoma, Cement, Oklahoma, Lawton, Oklahoma, Sterling,
Oklahoma, Apache, Oklahoma and Tuttle, Oklahoma, with huge success.
By creating its own WNI product, coupled with its experience in
wireless networking, @Link intends to profit from these advantages
by offering services provided off its MPLS core network, competitively,
to both residences and businesses. In addition to providing a low
cost wireless loop competitively, the same technology can be utilized
by the incumbent LEC to provide all deregulated services, augmented
to their regulated services. By doing so, the ILEC can reduce costs
of providing these services from the network and loop infrastructure.
@Link provides the signal to the determined meet-point, then the
ILEC can transmit deregulated services over WiMAX to the premise,
with minimal regulated costs.
