Wireless broadband service provider *Nextlink Wireless Inc.*, a
subsidiary of *XO Holdings Inc.*, is teaming with *Covad Communications
Group Inc.* in a strategic partnership that will allow Covad to deploy
higher-speed wireless Ethernet </search/?query=Ethernet> services
nationally using Nextlink's licensed 28 GHz-31 GHz Local Multipoint
Distribution System (LMDS) spectrum.
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.
