Starry is an early stage company that is challenging the status quo, offering a fixed wireless service at $50 for up to 200 mbps download/upload. But when it emerged a few years ago, a lot of people were still skeptical about using millimeter wave spectrum to offer a stable, at-home service of any kind.The company recently launched in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., and it has begun building networks in other cities, including New York. The company had said earlier that it wanted to launch in these additional markets as well: Cleveland, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Denver, Seattle, Detroit, Atlanta, Indianapolis, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Miami and Minneapolis.Starry designs its own equipment in-house, so its model is a bit different than some other fixed wireless providers. The company invested a lot of time into getting its products working in the form factor they’re in, including a window unit designed to sit both inside and outside of a window. Inside the window unit is an 802.11ax modem and an active electronically scanned array (AESA) antenna; the whole thing is coated with the kind of material that will withstand snow, ice and snowmelt. -- ???????? | |||
