Etheric Networks and Globtel Holding Announce Completion of Hybrid E-Band Wireless and Fiber Internet Service in Berkeley

Jan 26, 2023

New E-Band mmWave Service via Fixed Wireless will offer Gigabit speeds to East Bay businesses and homes.

SAN MATEO, Calif. – January 26, 2023 – Etheric Networks, a leading provider of fiber + wireless internet service in the Bay Area, and Globtel Holding today announced the deployment of a new base station in Emeryville using Globtel’s AIR Gigaray E-Band technology. The deployed base station is the first in a series that will comprise a new commercial fiber-like wireless network in the area. This expansion brings new internet options to thousands of businesses and homes in Emeryville and Berkeley.

Etheric Networks deployed Globtel’s E- Band (mmWave) AIR Gigaray solution at Pacific Park Plaza, which will provide more than a gigabit of throughput to end-users while supporting the multi-gigabit capacity of the base station. For locations already served by in-ground fiber or cable, rooftop fixed wireless is a natural choice for business backhaul or failover.

Benefits of Millimeter Wave

  • Higher speed facilitates the continuous real-time transmission of large amounts of data.
  • Wider bandwidth improves performance of data-intensive applications.
  • Lower latency supports real-time services and cloud-based computing systems.

About Etheric Fiber + Wireless Internet

  • Etheric goes where DSL and cable can’t – Fiber + wireless networks deliver Gigabit speeds via radio waves transmitted to an antenna located on the exterior of a home or business – no trenching is required.
  • One high-speed connection can serve an entire building – Apartments and multi-tenant businesses can share service to reduce cost.
  • Scalable to meet the needs of growing communities – With the ever-improving power and range of today’s technology, service can be delivered to remote communities where fiber doesn’t make sense economically or ecologically.

Alexander Hagen, CEO, Etheric Networks, said: “Etheric was founded to deliver capabilities and speeds that the large providers haven’t yet achieved, and we are committed to exploring new ways to provide cutting edge, next-generation services to our community using an energy-efficient, green approach. The service we are bringing to Berkeley using Globtel E-Band millimeter wave technology is multi-gigabit, backed by our own dark fiber with direct peering connections to all premium Silicon Valley content delivery networks such as Apple, Netflix, Google, and Yahoo.”

“I am so impressed with Etheric Networks. Our testing grounds require rock solid internet and low latency. Our existing provider could not keep up with our bandwidth needs, and the service was becoming unreliable. We didn’t know where to turn! The way Etheric responded to our call for help told me that this is the kind of project they like best. To learn that they could deliver a super fast, low latency FCC licensed link in just days was such a relief. I can’t thank Etheric enough for solving so many problems so quickly! ”

“The Etheric EVPL has worked great, with no downtime since installation. My client is very satisfied, and I would not hesitate to recommend this kind of solution again. I’ve always counted on Etheric to bring internet to hard-to-reach places and appreciated that they already had access points on both of the towers my client needed to connect. Installation was so easy and quick – pretty refreshing after what we’d been through. Thanks, Etheric, you saved the day!”
