Wireless LINC

link to wireless link videoWireless LINC is a partnership of NCIC and Littleton Industrial Development Corporation. Wireless LINC is a publicly financed fixed wireless infrastructure allowing open access for for-profit Internet Service Providers and other vendors to deliver competitive services to the region’s businesses and homes. The primary aim is to connect outlying end users who have no broadband connectivity.

The open access concept having multiple vendors works much like the public roads where FedEx and UPS share the roadway but openly compete for end user business. When a new user first comes on the system, they are given a menu of options from all of the vendors, putting the control in the hands of the end user rather than a service provider who invests in and controls the region’s infrastructure.

The system is designed to be easily expanded. Ultimately we anticipate expanding the system to serve a 4,000 square mile region with more than 80,000 homes and businesses that do not have access. Wireless LINC’s current offerings are faster than T1 and DSL performances. The technologies utilized are highly secure and easy to upgrade thereby offering the region state-of-the-art performance both now and as demands increase. Wireless LINC is strategically closing the gap in opportunity compared to other communities that enjoy sophisticated telecommunications.

Wireless LINC’s advanced software not only manages sign-on activity, payments and the operating platform for multiple vendor offerings, but it also has ‘heartbeat’ monitoring of primary components of the system, generates alarms when connections fail, usually before end users are aware and will escalate to layers of management based on the time a part of the system is down. The software also manages a ticketing system to record repairs and performance history.
