The service from Airband delivers speeds of up to 1Gbps using Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) – a pioneering technology that beams broadband directly from a nearby mast to your home or business. Unlike fibre rollouts, which often involve months of roadworks, Airband’s wireless solution can be installed quickly, with minimal disruption.
Just last week, Airband’s innovative FWA technology won the Technical Innovation Award at the Connected Britain Awards, recognising it as a breakthrough in bringing world-class connectivity to rural and underserved areas.
“Thousands of homes across the UK are still left out of fibre rollouts, leaving communities struggling with poor connectivity,” said Kash Rahman, Airband’s managing director. “We believe fast, reliable internet shouldn’t just be for the big cities. That’s why we’re excited to bring hyperfast broadband to Wrexham and Shrewsbury – so more people can stream, work, learn, and connect without compromise.”
What this means for local residents and businesses:
• Lightning-fast speeds – almost 20 times faster than standard BT fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC).
• Quick installation – no digging, no delays, just fast broadband delivered through the air.
• Affordable options – prices start from just £33 per month for 150Mbps, with hyperfast gigabit plans also available.
Airband already operates a network of more than 450 masts across the UK, alongside partner sites, to beam reliable broadband into hard-to-reach communities. The technology is far more affordable than satellite internet, giving customers next-generation connectivity at a fraction of the cost.
As well as this new wireless gigabit service, Airband also provides fibre broadband, 4G, and FTTC packages, ensuring there’s a solution for every household and business – no matter the location.
Airband is committed to tackling digital exclusion and ensuring that communities in Wrexham and Shrewsbury enjoy the same online opportunities as anywhere else in the country.
