GeoLinks’ ClearFiber™ Network Named Most Disruptive Technology
CAMARILLO, Calif. (PRWEB) February 27, 2018 -- The Pacific Coast Business Times (PCBT), in partnership with the Office of Technology and Industry Alliances at UC Santa Barbara, officially published the winners of its 2018 Central Coast Innovation Awards this past Friday, February 23rd. Established to ‘recognize a breakthrough that has the potential to disrupt a major industry or aspect of technology’, the regions’ ‘Most Disruptive Technology’ was awarded to GeoLinks for its innovative Fixed Wireless Network, ClearFiber™.
"The Pacific Coast Business Times is pleased to honor GeoLinks with the 'Most Disruptive Technology' award at the 2018 Central Coast Innovation Awards," said PCBT Special Reports and Research Editor Chris Officer. "GeoLinks was awarded for standing toe-to-toe with big name wireless providers and causing disruption within the telecom industry."
GeoLinks’ ClearFiber™ network is an innovative technology that brings cost effective symmetrical Internet access to anchor institutions and businesses across the state of California and beyond. Created by GeoLinks’ CTO Ryan Hauf and CEO Skyler Ditchfield, ClearFiber™ is the first fixed wireless solution to utilize renewable energy to generate telecom-grade broadband. By building state-of-the-art solar and wind powered telecommunications facilities, GeoLinks is able to build off the grid in a fraction of the time and for a fraction of the cost of fiber.
“Because we’re able to bypass lengthy permitting processes and infrastructure build-outs, we originally established the technology as a fast, green, and economical way to connect underserved rural communities,” said GeoLinks’ CEO Skyler Ditchfield. “And while GeoLinks continues to aggressively work towards our founding mission of closing the U.S. digital divide, shortly after Ryan and I founded the company, we realized that ClearFiber™ truly had the potential to disrupt the telecom industry as we know it. Thus, over the past seven years, we have obsessively improved and advanced the technology enabling us to rapidly expand into urban markets. Delivering up to 10 Gbps of dedicated enterprise-grade Internet with identical latency and jitter as fiber, ClearFiber™ now competes head-to-head in the B2B marketplace with the AT&Ts and Verizons of the world.”
With demand in its business, education, and government sectors rapidly increasing, GeoLinks’ executives don’t see an end in sight to the company’s growth.
“ClearFiber™ is actively redefining the way the industry looks at microwave technology,” said GeoLinks’ President Ryan Adams. “While we still have a way to go in completely eliminating what we call ‘fixed wireless anxiety’, GeoLinks is consistently proving that fixed wireless is a viable solution not only in closing the digital divide, but also in providing a truly reliable business-class alternative to fiber. Endorsed by prominent local, state, and federal officials and municipalities, we’re confident that ClearFiber™, in conjunction with our dedication to providing exceptional in-house customer service, will soon make GeoLinks a household name nationwide.”
GeoLinks, alongside fellow Central Coast Innovation Award winners, will be honored at an awards ceremony on Thursday, March 15 at Hotel California in Santa Barbara, California from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available for purchase online at Eventbrite.
“The Central Coast has become nationally recognized for the quality and diversity of the innovative technologies and startup companies it has spawned,” said Sherylle Mills Englander, Director of the Office of Technology and Industry Alliances at UCSB. “UCSB looks forward to working with the Business Times to honor and celebrate the breadth of Central Coast innovation and, through the Startup Village, give investors a sneak peek at the best and brightest technology companies emerging from our region.”
