Covad Bullish on Wireless
06.15.06 | Doug Mohney
Covad Communications (www.covad.com), a company built around DSL and copper, is now heavily involved with wireless through a number of relationships.
Earlier this week, Covad announced a strategic partnership with Nextlink Wireless, a subsidiary of XO Holdings. Covad will deploy high speed wireless Ethernet services nationally using Nextlink's licensed 28-31 GHz Local Multipoint Distribution System (LMDS) spectrum, offering speeds up to 25 Mbps per subscriber location. Initial deployements will take place within the Los Angeles metro area, with the option for expansions up to eleven other major markets across the country.
It's not the first time Covad has teamed up with a wireless company. On June 5, Covad announced a three year wireless reseller agreement with First Avenue Networks. Interestingly, First Avenue holds nationwide 24 GHz and 39 GHz wireless licenses. If Nextlink doesn't have the RF "footprint" to deliver a circuit, it can turn to First Avenue for another option.
Covad also owns its own wireless assets in the form of NextWeb, California 's largest fixed wireless provider. Nextweb has over 3,000 corporate accounts in various California cities and Las Vegas, using a combination of 2.4 and 5 GHz unlicensed frequencies and licensed frequencies to provide business-class broadband services.
Finally, Covad signed up to be a founding member of the WiBro and mobile WiMAX Community (WMC). It joins a number of Asian telecommunications companies, including PCCW, in the organization Covad is also a member of the WiMax forum.
