Adds New Tower,
Increased Capacity in Wilton
Wireless
Broadband Provider Continues Iowa Investment
North Liberty, IA – SpeedConnect,
a premium wireless broadband provider designed to support higher
usage demands, said today it has added a new service tower near
Wilton, Iowa. This expansion project complements an existing
service coverage area that includes Iowa City, Cedar Rapids,
Vinton, Marion, Anamosa, Williamsburg, North Liberty, much of
the Quad Cities, as well as communities close to these areas.
SpeedConnect has also just added a new service tower near West
Branch, Iowa.
The new site, with
antennas up 800 feet on the tower near Wilton will increase capacity
and boost coverage, providing 7 Mbs service in the Wilton area
and surrounding twenty mile radius of the tower. The site was
officially available to provide service in this coverage area
on May 11, 2011, according to SpeedConnect’s Iowa General
Manager Tony Lounsberry. “We’re building the best
streaming Internet experience we can deliver to our customers,” said
Lounsberry. “We will continue to excel in service and enhance
our network in Iowa.”
Dan Jackson, resident
of Wilton and new SpeedConnect customer said, "The service
is absolutely phenomenal. I'm amazed that SpeedConnect is able
to consistently deliver speeds at 7Mbs with virtually no lag
time in rural Wilton."
Well-established in
Michigan but new to Iowa, SpeedConnect has spent the last six
months investing more than $450,000.00 to upgrade and improve
the technology supporting the existing Iowa base, and preparing
for further expansion of service availability.
