supply the Outdoor Wireless Antennas needed to bring Fixed Wireless Internet connectivity to select rural and underserved
premises across the U.S.
NetComm Wireless successfully enabled Fixed Wireless availability in Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, North and South Carolina, Tennessee and Louisiana. The new LTE Fixed Wireless service aims to serve
