Fixed wireless provider GeoLinks and Intracom Telecom, which specializes in wireless access and transmission solutions, this week will perform the first U.S. live demonstration of GeoLinks’ 29/31GHz licensed spectrum in Las Vegas. Installed atop the Rio Hotel, the Intracom Telecom WiBAS G5 point-to-multipoint (PtMP) smart base station will serve as a “live showcase of fiber-like, secure and interference-free performance” during the WISPAPALOOZA 2025 trade show, company officials said.
The demonstration site will give attendees firsthand experience of licensed spectrum performance, scalability, reliability and security, powered by Intracom Telecom WiBAS G5. The platform’s mmWave is designed to deliver interference-free, high-capacity connectivity across urban, suburban and rural environments, officials said.
“Today marks a turning point for GeoLinks and for the U.S. fixed wireless industry,” said Kevin Hetrick, CEO of GeoLinks. “With a nationwide portfolio of licensed LMDS spectrum covering 1,300 counties, we are positioned to deliver fiber-like connectivity at scale—without the limits of unlicensed spectrum. Our Las Vegas demonstration with Intracom Telecom showcases the next evolution of fixed wireless: multi-gigabit, interference-free broadband with carrier-grade performance. This milestone reflects our commitment to redefining how high-speed connectivity is deployed and scaled nationwide.”
“We are proud to work with GeoLinks in demonstrating their licensed LMDS spectrum,” said Kyriakos Vergos, CEO of Intracom Telecom USA. “Intracom Telecom’s advances in FWA mmW hybrid beamforming systems, running on our own baseband architecture, are a true game-changer. This installation at the Rio Hotel not only demonstrates the power of our joint offering but also lays the foundation for WISPs to serve enterprise, wholesale, MDUs and multi-tenant markets with fiber-like performance at a fraction of the infrastructure cost.”
Licensed spectrum delivers built-in network security by operating on exclusive, FCC-protected frequencies that prevent interference, spoofing and unauthorized access. Unlike unlicensed bands, these channels are legally safeguarded, ensuring only authorized operators transmit within defined boundaries. This exclusivity forms a physical layer of cybersecurity that complements encryption, authenticated access and network-layer defenses to create a closed, interference-free environment. The result is carrier-grade reliability and data integrity, company officials said.
