TowerStream Expands New York Wireless Broadband Service to Businesses in Brooklyn and Queens


MIDDLETOWN, R.I., June 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TowerStream, the leading fixed wireless Internet provider and WiMAX Forum member, today announced that it has added its fourth Point of Presence (PoP) in New York City. The PoP will provide widespread availability to TowerStream's cost-effective, reliable, wireless broadband for businesses in Brooklyn and Queens. In addition, TowerStream also announced the increase of its sales staff in all six of its major markets to support growing customer demand.


"The new PoP allows us to dramatically expand our reach to thousands of businesses in the outer boroughs that are in need of more reliable broadband and responsive customer service," said Jeff Thompson, COO and President of TowerStream. "By completely bypassing Verizon's infrastructure and controlling our own network, TowerStream is able to offer more affordable prices and features for businesses of all sizes. As we establish PoPs and expand our network in current and new markets, our increased sales force will be vital in educating customers on the benefits of our service."
Companies across Brooklyn and Queens are now able to choose reliable T1 and 100 Mbps connections, digital voice lines, bandwidth on demand, wireless redundancy, VPNs, disaster recovery, bundled data, and video services. TowerStream's Quality of Service will also allow businesses to prioritize the network's bandwidth to support their high-importance applications.
New customers can opt for the company's Rapid Installation Program which guarantees the installation of equipment and access to the company's network within 48 hours. In addition, TowerStream offers an unmatched level of reliability backed by its industry leading Service Level Agreement (SLA) and money-back guarantee.
TowerStream currently has hundreds of customers in the New York metropolitan area, encompassing all five boroughs and New Jersey. Current PoPs in Manhattan are located on the Empire State Building, the MetLife Building, and the AT&T Building at 32 Sixth Avenue, each delivering broadband over a ten-mile radius, forming a redundant wireless ring in the sky.
"We've been using TowerStream's service for nearly two years at multiple locations in Brooklyn and Manhattan and are extremely pleased with the level of reliability it has provided," said Steve Kadish, senior network engineer for Village Care of New York, which provides long-term and community-care services for older adults, persons living with AIDS and individuals in need of medical and rehabilitation services. "TowerStream has been the right choice for our Manhattan and Brooklyn health care facilities, where maintaining WAN connectivity is extremely important. TowerStream closely monitors our service, and has been very helpful in providing prompt responses to all our inquiries."
