Nex-Tech Wireless Invests in C-Band Deployment for Hays

Hays, KS — Nex-Tech Wireless has made a multi-million dollar investment to bring next-level wireless speeds to the city of Hays!

The deployment of C-Band on cell sites throughout the city will provide increased capacity, more than DOUBLING the available download speed for supported devices. This mid-band spectrum provides broad range with significant performance improvement.

“We are excited about what this means for our customers,” said Jon Lightle, President and CEO of Nex-Tech Wireless. “C-Band is the key for realizing the full potential of 5G. We’re thrilled to launch in the Hays community, where we started 20 years ago.”

 

Here’s what customers can expect:

  • Enhanced speed and capacity
  • Improved coverage
  • Room to grow as more devices and new tech hit the market

After this deployment is complete, Nex-Tech Wireless will evaluate additional communities they can also deploy C-Band based on their spectrum holdings.
