BroadbandOne and FulAir Wireless Join Forces to Enhance Connectivity for Louisiana’s Oil and Gas Sector

Strategic Alliance in Connectivity

In a move aimed at revolutionizing communication for the oil and gas sector, Broadband One, Inc. (operating as BroadbandOne®) has partnered with FulAir Wireless Internet. This collaboration aims to deliver state-of-the-art, high-speed broadband connectivity across the Lake Charles area and its surrounding Gulf Coast region, which is crucial for the local oil and gas industry.

Meeting Critical Needs

With the oil and gas industry often facing unique challenges due to the infrastructure-heavy nature of their operations, the partnership seeks to address these connectivity issues head-on. BroadbandOne specializes in wireless network innovation and is an early adopter of the Telco as a Service (TaaS) model. FulAir, a local internet provider known for its commitment to improving internet access in underserved communities, complements BroadbandOne's advanced technologies with its local expertise and customer service.

Eric Watko, the CEO of BroadbandOne, highlighted the importance of reliable connectivity in the industry: "Connectivity has always been the missing piece for critical infrastructure operations in this region. By combining our licensed spectrum wireless broadband with FulAir's local presence, we can provide oil and gas operators with a robust network essential for their operations."

Cutting-Edge Technology

The partnership brings to life an innovative architecture for delivering high-throughput and low-latency broadband. This will utilize licensed mmWave spectrum and both companies' tower infrastructures, ensuring fast and reliable connectivity in areas that have historically been challenging for traditional operators. This deployment will enable efficient telemetry, safety systems, environmental monitoring, and remote operational controls, crucial for maintaining operational safety and reliability.

Currently, the necessary engineering and propagation studies have been completed, and the network is set to activate within days. For industry players, the significance of this cannot be understated; enhanced connectivity means improved operational efficiency.

Perry Vincent, Owner of FulAir Wireless Internet, expressed enthusiasm for the collaborative endeavor: "Our customers have long needed options that deliver genuine reliability without the costly delays of traditional fiber installation. This partnership means we can provide an enterprise-grade service tailored for the realities of the industrial field around Lake Charles."

Impacts on Economic Growth

The collaboration between BroadbandOne and FulAir is expected to stimulate economic growth in the region as reliable, high-speed communications not only connect businesses but also foster the development of the surrounding communities. This commitment to enhancing connectivity in industrial areas is poised to support a rapid evolution of the oil and gas sector, bringing operations into a new technological era.

As both companies continue to explore opportunities for expansion, they remain focused on ensuring that businesses in hard-to-reach areas receive the speed and reliability essential for their growth. This venture reflects the growing recognition that improved connectivity is fundamental for both individual businesses and the economic landscape at large.
