Covad's new offering will include access speeds as fast as 25 Mbps per subscriber location, delivering such real-time, next-gen applications as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) to the enterprise marketplace. Initially, Covad, which currently offers DSL, VoIP, T1, Web-hosting, managed-security, IP and dial-up, wireless broadband, and bundled voice and data services, will offer its enhanced broadband wireless service within its existing network in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. The agreement also allows for expansion to 11 more markets nationwide, including Chicago, Dallas, Miami, New York, Seattle and Washington, D.C.

Covad says that as it deploys its new broadband wireless access service, these businesses along with Covad's enterprise-class business customers will have the option to upgrade to a suite of high-speed, Ethernet-based solutions that combine Nextlink's LMDS spectrum with Covad's secure network.
