Charles Barnett, World Mobile’s Chief Business Officer, expressed the platform’s enthusiasm for partnering with the internet provider with more than 15 years of experience providing convenient services in rural areas of Oregon. He quoted,
We are excited to partner with Adaptive Broadband, a pioneer in rural wireless internet services. This partnership demonstrates the power and potential of our AirNode technology and sharing economy model, which can unlock new revenue streams for ISPs and new connectivity options for customers. We look forward to expanding our presence in the US and other markets with similar opportunities.
J. Michael Heil, CEO of Adaptive Broadband, also expressed excitement about their partnership with World Mobile, believing the alliance would secure improvements in “service and customer satisfaction.” He added: “We are proud to be part of their mission to connect disconnected and under-connected communities around the world.”
Notably, the partnership enables Adaptive Broadband subscribers to leverage World Mobile’s services, giving them access to mobile coverage and Over-The-Top (OTT) services. It also aims to improve connectivity options, escalating the “one-play” ISP to a “three-play” ISP. In addition, more than 70 of Adaptive Broadband’s radios, hotspots and towers would be converted to be validated by AYA, World Mobile’s blockchain technology.
