Rise Broadband, widely considered the largest privately held fixed wireless provider in the US with around 150,000 customers, said it is in the midst of launching its first TVWS operations. Thanks to Microsoft for injecting some life into the TV White Space equipment ecosystem All of the testing that we’ve done in the field and that we’ve done in the lab shows that we’re going to be able to deliver well in excess of the FCC-mandated broadband speed of 25Mbit/s [downlink] / 3Mbit/s [uplink]. We’ll be able to do it at good distances and with much better propagation than any other spectrum tool that we have in the bag right now being installed in low band.”

Getting decent broadband speeds to homes in rural areas has always been a challenge, but through the use of some innovative technologies, Rise Broadband is encouraged by what it’s seeing, particularly in the areas of TV white space (TVWS) and the unlicensed 60 GHz band. It’s really a year of innovation for us,” said Jeff Kohler, Rise’s co-founder and chief development officer, in an interview with FierceWireless. Kohler is on the board of the Wireless Internet Service Providers Association (WISPA), which is convening in Cincinnati this week for its annual WISPAmerica conference.

Rise Broadband, the nation’s largest privately-held fixed wireless broadband provider, has named veteran executive Mark Meisner as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO). We welcome Mark to the Rise leadership team as we continue to deliver reliable internet and digital phone service to rural and suburban homes and businesses often underserved by traditional wireline and cable companies,” said Jim O’Brien, Rise’s Chief Executive Officer. Previously, he worked at Tyco International for thirteen years where he served as Chief Financial Officer for its North American Installation Service Businesses (which included SimplexGrinnell as well as Tyco Integrated Security – formerly ADT Commercial Security) and Chief Financial Officer for the Security Products division.
