Skywire Networks is one of the largest Fixed Wireless Broadband providers in New York City, offering high-speed data and unified-communications services to businesses in commercial buildings. The company serves thousands of customers and currently operates more than 400 lit buildings, more than 30 hubs, and a near-net footprint of 25,000 commercial buildings. Skywire partners with commercial building owners—particularly outside midtown and downtown Manhattan—to bring broadband to areas it calls “digital deserts,” where fiber density is low. The company uses fixed-wireless infrastructure to avoid the time and cost of digging and laying fiber, targeting buildings incumbent telecom and cable companies find uneconomical to serve. Skywire plans to use newly secured financing to significantly scale its NYC lit-building footprint and expand its sales, marketing, and operations teams. Customers and partners named in the article include WiredScore, Van Barton Group, MTA and NYCEDC.
