The company receives recognition for its outstanding achievements in helping to close the digital divide in Puerto Rico.
AeroNet Wireless Broadband, Puerto Rico’s leading business broadband internet service provider, was awarded “Operator of the Year” as voted by the members of the Wireless ISP Association (WISPA). WISPA is the world’s leading organization representing wireless internet service providers.
This prestigious recognition is awarded to companies that have excelled in the business of wireless broadband. This is the second time that the company has achieved recognition for its long track record of success, logistics, and industry experience in providing innovative FWA, fixed wireless access services to its customers.
“We are extremely proud of this recognition! This award validates our recent efforts to expand, strengthen and improve our network and infrastructure”, said Gino Villarini, Founder and President of AeroNet. “Since day one, AeroNet was focused on helping to close the digital divide and bring connectivity to all Puerto Rico, including rural and unserved areas. With dedication, hard work, and loyalty to our customers, AeroNet has served business and residents for more than 20 years”.
In 2020, AeroNet made significant investments to acquire several licenses in the 2.5 GHz and 3.5 GHz mid-band spectrum, two of the most valuable spectrum bands for the deployment of 5G and next-generation fixed-wireless access networks. 2020 also marks an important milestone in AeroNet’s trajectory as they partner with Facebook Connectivity to pilot Terragraph gigabit wireless technology on the island.
Today, AeroNet continues its network expansion using CBRS spectrum to deliver fixed-wireless, point-to-multipoint connections and other advanced spectrum-based services. This expansion is expected to bring Ultra-Broadband services in more areas, including those with limited connectivity access.
