Windstream picks Goodman Networks as preferred FttT supplier

Wireless network service provider Goodman Networks Inc. will serve as the preferred supplier of Windstream Corp. while the latter company deploys Fiber to the Tower (FttT) mobile backhaul solutions in the U.S.

Goodman Networks is a leading U.S. company that designs, engineers, deploys, integrates, and maintains wireless networks in the United States. It helps Windstream generate the additional backhaul bandwidth needed for LTE/4G growth by delivering fiber connectivity from Windstream’s network to the cellular towers of leading wireless service providers.

Goodman Networks' backhauling solutions aim to create efficient processes and establish program planning between Windstream and its wireless service customers. Backhauling will lower deployment costs and, incidentally, reduce Windstream’s carbon footprint as fewer number of trips are needed to upgrade the network for LTE/4G applications.

“We believe that Windstream’s leading-edge FttT solution provides wireless carriers a unique ability to meet their growing need for wireless backhaul," said Josh Shipman, EVP of Sales and Business Development at Goodman Networks. "We share many of the same wireless customers as Windstream and look forward to helping them deliver this technology to these customers.”
