1 4 WISPA PALOOZA SHOW I OCTOBER 14 - 18, 2019 www.bekabusinessmedia.com L Z OO 2019 03 DAY 01 D DAY 3 New TV White Space Solution from RADWIN Drives Broadband to Remote Communities Ping Launches Online, All-in-One Sales Platform for WISPs G lobal wireless broadband provider RADWIN announced at WISPA- PALOOZA 2019 its new disrup- tive TV White Space (TVWS) solution. RADWIN’s TVWS solution utilizes unused TV channels in the 470-698 MHz band to connect unserved rural customers to the digital world, explained the company. Leveraging upon RADWIN’s broadband wireless access innovative technologies, the new TVWS solution operates in non- line-of-sight scenarios and penetrates trees and foliage over extensive distances. The new TVWS solution complements RADWIN’s existing carrier-grade sub 6 GHz portfolio and is supported by RADWIN’s OSS tools to address all opera- tional aspects of the network lifecycle. “There are entire populations across the globe that live in remote areas who have no connection to the Internet,” said Sharon Sher, RADWIN’s presi- dent and CEO. “Fixed wireless is one way to deliver broadband, however, in many rural areas there are obstacles to direct line-of-sight connectivity. With our newly launched TVWS solution, service providers can connect unserved remote communities to the information age, help bridge the digital gap and generate new revenue streams. Rural communities can significantly improve their lifestyle and boost productivity by accessing an unlim- ited array of online broadband services from healthcare, education, government services to entertainment.” “In order to make it easier and more affordable for people to get online and participate in today’s economy, the Micro- soft Airband Initiative is partnering with organizations to develop and deploy low-cost fixed wireless technologies including those leveraging TV white space spectrum,” added Paul Garnett, senior director of the Microsoft Airband Initiative. “Through our partnership with RADWIN to develop a new TV white space solution, we intend to empower internet service providers in the U.S. and around the globe to extend their networks and reach unserved communities more rapidly and cost-effectively than previously possible.” RADWIN’s TVWS Solution will be generally available in the first quarter of 2020. m Visit RADWIN at WISPAPALOOZA 2019 booth #235. P ing Marketing is preparing to launch on online sales tool for WISPs that pre-qualifies poten- tial customers, walks them through the sales process, establishes payment and schedules instal- lation all through a white-labeled online self-service portal. With the Ping Cubed online sales tools, WISPs can sell 24/7/365, even when their sales- people are off the clock. Users of the online sales tool simply fill out a contact form and look up their location, find which services are available to that address, (if it’s obstructed or unobstructed) pick the service package they prefer, choose their payment method and pick a time for installation. If sales assistance is needed, the user can choose to call or text the WISP, at which time a salesperson is pinged that a potential customer needs to be contacted. “This is going to be a game-changer,” said Evan Galvin, Ping Marketing CEO. The company has been using the sales tool for its own WISP operation and is now making it available on a white-label basis to the WISP marketplace. Ping Marketing is demoing its Ping Cubed all-in-one sales tool at its booth throughout WISPAPALOOZA. m Visit Ping Marketing at WISPAPALOOZA 2019 booth #513. www.cwnp.com How Can A CWNP Certification Help Your Business?
