NATE Debuts #ClimberConnection Video Highlighting Fixed Wireless Deployments
#ClimberConnection Volume 6 Video Unveiled at the 2023 South Wireless Summit in Nashville, Tennessee
(Nashville, TN) – NATE: The Communications Infrastructure Contractors Association announced today the official release of a video on the topic of Fixed Wireless Deployments. The video, the first to debut in Volume 6 of the Association’s popular #ClimberConnection series, premiered this morning at the 2023 South Wireless Summit in Nashville, Tennessee.
The video shines a spotlight on the importance of Fixed Wireless Deployments to the nation’s goals of closing the digital divide. NATE has joined with other leading industry organizations in advocating that the effective, efficient deployment of broadband funds through the IIJA’s BEAD Program, as a means of bringing connectivity to all areas of the country, must by necessity be technology neutral. As the generational BEAD funding prepares to flow to the states, the informative video asserts that all available resources (such as fixed wireless deployments) should be considered to achieve the national goals of expanding broadband and closing the digital divide, particularly if broadband is to reach rural areas as well as geographically challenging regions, in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
“NATE continues to attract more member companies from the traditional WISP sector, and this is a timely video that educates both industry and government stakeholders on the ‘how, where, and why’ of Fixed Wireless Deployments,” said NATE Board of Directors Member Mike Young from National Tower Controls, LLC. “This video also reinforces the fact that NATE member companies on the front lines of deployment know better than most on which technologies are best suited to enable connectivity in different regions and geographic locales around the country,” Young added.

The Association also encourages industry workers to subscribe to NATE’s YouTube Channel and share their comments on the video through social interaction on the Association’s Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, Tumblr, Twitter and YouTube platforms.
The #ClimberConnection Volume 6 campaign is designed to provide education on timely topics directly to the industry’s workforce. For more information on NATE, visit www.natehome.com.
