"Summit Broadband has a history of selecting vendors who share our mission to provide unmatched cutting-edge solutions to our customers," said Florencio Bulanhagui, Vice President of Engineering at Summit Broadband. "When evaluating our existing home Wi-Fi offering, there was an obvious need to provide a next-generation option to better address connectivity challenges both our technicians and customers were facing. We are excited to offer this innovative bundle. It improvs ease-of-deployment, scalability and our ability to provide an equally strong Wi-Fi connection to every device and user."
