As the world prepares for next-generation 5G wireless cell
service (http://ibn.fm/NTyiv),
telecommunications company Hammer Fiber Optics Holdings Corp. (OTCQB: HMMR) is
building its efforts to grow its New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania base of
operations into a national program that will provide service on a
neighborhood-access basis. The company is aligning itself with like-minded
businesses as it works to deliver low-cost, high-capacity broadband to phone,
Internet and television service markets across the country.
The company plans to begin live field testing of its new
“pre-5G” system this year to coincide with the earliest rollout of the
transformational 5G technology in select parts of the United States, with
commercial service to follow in the coming months. The 5G technology will
enable far faster data transmission and buffering than 4G LTE, as consumers
worldwide upgrade mobile-access devices and local governments move to smaller,
shorter-range signal distribution systems (http://ibn.fm/ATZau).
Hammer Fiber Optics Holdings, doing business as Hammer
Communications, recently launched its 5G-ready Hammer Wireless AIR
point-to-multipoint system to increase the options available to customers and
to improve service in rural areas. The May 17 announcement of its Mobile
Network Services Provider program in tandem with 1stPoint Communications will
allow phone-Internet-TV triple play services, as well as Smart City and
mobile-to-mobile capabilities on the same network platform with an “everything
wireless” philosophy for geographical regions (http://ibn.fm/iEX2J). Wireless networks are
driving the transformation of the overall telecommunications industry as
services continue to converge under one platform, with cable TV operators
entering wireless network agreements through incumbent carriers, telecom
operators entering pay-TV streaming services and a wide array of corporations
making big-ticket acquisitions that create media powerhouses (http://ibn.fm/JR9nz).
“This is the beginning of the transformation of Hammer
Communications,” Mark Stogdill, Hammer’s founder, stated in the news release
announcing the MNSP program. “The Air system is capable of supporting not only
a residential access network, but can empower carriers, municipalities and
customers to deploy a variety of applications through our network.”
Kristen Vasicek, director of marketing for 1stPoint, added,
“Following on Hammer’s successful deployment in Atlantic County (New Jersey) we
have the template for the deployment anywhere nationwide or even globally.”
NetworkNewsWire, a multifaceted financial news and
publishing company, published an editorial on the company on May 24 that
comments, “Hammer’s AIR System is now looking to many industry analysts like it
may be the ideal solution for everything from bridging the digital divide in
underserved rural communities to addressing increasingly abundant data roaming
opportunities and M2M concerns. This innovative, patented technology represents
what could be a major advantage for the company, as no one in the industry
today offers what Hammer is already doing” (http://ibn.fm/SHQwz).
Hammer’s proposed acquisition of 1stPoint and its
subsidiaries would give the company the benefit of exclusive rights to the
patented AIR wireless technology, as well as to 1stPoint’s switching
technology, its underlying competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) and its
Commercial Mobile Radio Services operator.
The advent of fixed wireless technology continues to breed
new technologies in the internet of things industry, and the entry of 5G speeds
is expected to sustain advances for self-driving cars, smart homes and
increasingly sophisticated robots. For now, Hammer’s primary excitement centers
on its potential to boost services in smaller Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets, where
competitive-cost service diversity may not exist.
