Products & Services
Air Advantage™ is a wireless Internet service provider (WISP) who began providing broadband wireless service in 2002. Our network began with 5 tower antennas serving a potential market of about 2,000 people. During
its initial stages of growth, Air Advantage™ received two grants from
the USDA’s Rural Utility Service (RUS) to provide Internet service in
two small un-served markets. A relationship was built with the USDA and
Air Advantage™ secured a loan through the USDA’s low-interest Broadband
Loan program to provide broadband service to parts of rural Michigan. These
grants and loans have helped Air Advantage™ grow into one of the
Nation’s leading license-free wireless broadband providers.
Air Advantage™ is making their system of broadband delivery available to like minded investors and entrepreneurs for the purpose of bridging the digital divide that exists in rural America. Our system makes it simple and affordable to deliver broadband to un-served and underserved rural and small urban markets. Our vast experience in providing this service to rural communities can help you bring this necessary service to your community.
Air Advantage™ provides strong back office support services to allow the franchisee business owner to focus on business growth, customer attention and a local community presence. We feel very strongly that an active local community presence will help make this business a success. As the franchisor, we will provide you with billing, scheduling, and customer technical support services. We will also assist you with system technical support, tower selection services, RF propagation analysis, network design, installation, monitoring and maintenance. We have developed a customer installation process that can save you substantial labor costs by using our system.
