Alaska Communications (NASDAQ: ALSK) is bringing its fastest
ever speeds to Alaskans with the launch of Xtreme Internet℠.
Beginning this spring, Alaska Communications will offer up to 1
Gig speeds to select residential locations.
“We’re investing in our network to meet the needs of Alaskans,”
said Bill Bishop, president and CEO of Alaska Communications.
“We’re bringing more speed, more reliability and more choices, all
at a great, low price. Xtreme Internet will allow us to expand our
broadband service to more locations in urban areas, giving
customers choices in service providers.”
Xtreme Internet is delivered through 60 Ghz mesh fixed wireless
using Facebook Connectivity's Terragraph technology. It has the
capability to deliver fiber-like speeds in urban settings.
“This technology allows us to deliver service to neighborhoods
more quickly, while providing the reliability and speed consumers
need,” said Bishop.
Alaska Communications will debut this service in the Fairbanks
area this spring. Select neighborhoods in Anchorage and Fairbanks
will be ready later this year.
In 2021, Alaska Communications will upgrade approximately one
third of its network through Xtreme Internet and other
technologies, reaching 42,000 new and existing customers with new
or improved service.
