Expanding High-Speed Internet
The Queen City now joins Austin, Texas, and Nashville, Tennessee, in providing access to fast and reliable internet, with Google offering two distinct options: through a fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network or a simple combination of fiber-optic and wireless technology.
"Google Fiber Webpass is a point-to-point wireless technology that links apartments, condominiums and offices through millimetre wave (mmWave) and wireless radio technology connecting more people to high-speed internet in a concentrated populated area," said the company in a blog post.
The service offers speeds of up to 1 Gbps through a mesh network that utilises both wireless and fiber optic components. This makes it a good option for residents who live in apartments, condominiums, or other multi-family housing units.
