TDS Metrocom is working together with hardware maker, Alvarion Ltd., to roll out an extensive wireless broadband network in the largely rural state of Wisconsin.

The new network will be launched gradually, starting with the state capital. It will use Alvarion’s BreezeACCESS VL wireless solution to operate on the 5.8-GHz band, and deliver internet access at up to 4Mbps, over distances of up to 12.5 miles.

With many rural areas of the United States still not served by high speed internet access, there is a huge market of potential customers, just waiting for a broadband solution to be launched within their range.
