Beam Internet targets rural, less densely populated areas of
Shentel's footprint during a time when reliable, high-speed
Internet has become more critical than ever before. Beam's fixed
wireless broadband service is delivered over licensed 2.5GHz and
3.5GHz mid-band spectrum and leverages 5G-ready LTE technology,
local communications towers, small cell sites, and Shentel's
extensive regional fiber optic network. Beam offers download speeds
up to 100 Mbps, and prices start at $60 per month with no hidden fees or
surcharges.
"Many rural communities across Virginia are struggling to stay connected to
their loved ones and work or study from home because they don't
have access to affordable, reliable high-speed Internet access,"
said Dan Meenan, VP of Wireless
Engineering & Construction at Shentel. "We believe Beam
Internet will help bridge that digital divide in our footprint. We
take great pride in being the local Virginia choice for broadband."
