Coastal Broadband Announces New High-Speed Internet Service in Nahunta, GA Service Designed for Both Residences and Businesses

Coastal Broadband, a GA-based company working to bring high-speed wide-area wireless Internet connectivity to communities in coastal Georgia cities, and its partner, Tri-State Broadband, Inc., an Atlanta based technology and marketing company, today announced the deployment of a wireless DSL system for the Nahunta, GA area. The new system will provide residents and businesses non-line-of-sight (NLOS) access. By deploying next generation NLOS technology, Coastal Broadband will be able to provide affordable Internet access at speeds normally associated with solutions such as DSL, cable, and satellite.

NAHUNTA, GA and ATLANTA, GA (PRWEB) December 9, 2003 --Coastal Broadbands use of wireless transport for the last mile provides a broadband service that is both fast and cost-effective for communities where the population centers may be in geographically diverse areas. This new wireless broadband network takes advantage of non-line-of-sight wide-area technology that bypasses traditional wireline or satellite infrastructures and significantly reduces the costs associated of building a carrier-class broadband network.

Rural markets tend to lack high speed Internet options, but not the demand for services normally reserved for urban markets," said Ron Ham, president of Coastal Broadband, Inc. We intend to prove that wireless broadband can be an effective alternative to traditional Internet access methods such as dial up, DSL, cable, and satellite offerings.

We are excited to play an important role in bringing affordable, high-speed broadband solutions to the Nahunta area," said John Overley, vice president of sales and marketing of Tri-State Broadband. We have had very successful experiences with non-line-of-sight wireless solutions in other cities and towns, and we look forward to achieving the same success with Coastal Broadband in Southeast Georgia."
