High-Speed Internet with High-Speed Deployment

Wall Street IT Management (WSITM) is an Information Technology network service provider as well as a channel reseller in Skywire’s PartnerUP! Program. As a Managed Services Provider (MSP) and systems integrator, it provides business customers with broadband communications solutions and services in the financial district as well as throughout New York City. The company typically services organizations whose network needs are significant and often immediate. So, when a valued tech firm customer of theirs was ready to move into an unlit downtown building in Chelsea, with no fiber-optic lines, the race was on to find a viable and affordable connectivity solution—fast.

The Challenge: Bringing Connectivity to a Dark Building, Pronto.

“It was really unexpected,” says Gregory Gong, CEO of WSITM. “The building is a brand-new construction, but it didn’t have Internet.” Gong’s team had courted the traditional big carriers and providers in the area, but the price points, lead times, and deployment delays they were repeatedly presented with were unfeasible. “Some were quoting upwards of 90 days.” Such an expensive, drawn-out installation would have prevented his customer from setting up shop by the date of their lease start. “Honestly,” recalls Gong of those carriers, “nobody wanted to deal with us.”

Gong reached out to Skywire Networks to find a more realistic solution, delineating the customer’s non-negotiable needs: 1) immediate high-speed connectivity; 2) a dependable SLA-backed circuit; 3) zero downtime during onboarding; 4) seamless coordination between provider and channel partner (Skywire and WSITM); and 5) a turnkey installation with minimal disruption. All told, it was no small task.

The Solution: Engineering a Custom Hybrid Fiber and Fixed Wireless Network

Since the customer’s 245 W. 17th Street address was already nearby one of Skywire’s numerous Fixed Wireless rooftop radio hubs across the city, serviceability to the property was instantly confirmed. Skywire designed a fast-turn-up wireless circuit, bypassing any need for new fiber underground trenching. A field technician team was deployed within 48 hours, installing rooftop equipment and building-side hardware, with no disruption to tenants. “Which was great,” adds Gong, “because, who’s going to move in and pay rent without having Internet service?”

With an integrated one-team approach, Skywire and WSITM were able to provision the circuit, configure routing, and perform networking testing—all on the same day. Far ahead of the customer’s lease start date, WSITM was able to deliver a secure, resilient, high-speed circuit—a private line, fully independent of fiber—suitable for communications needs such as VoIP, cloud applications, a Virtual Private Network (VPN), and general office broadband traffic—and easily scalable for whatever might come next. Gong notes, “It was just what the customer needed: 1 Gig symmetrical service, up and down, with latency of five milliseconds or less.”

The Result: Getting the Customer Up and Running—in Days, Not Months

Skywire helped its channel partner WSITM deliver, in days, what traditional carriers couldn’t do in weeks—all with a smooth GO-LIVE and zero downtime. Skywire’s no-dig, no-wait, high-speed Fixed Wireless fiber alternative completely eliminated the need for slow and costly fiber-line construction; meaning, no delays and no red tape. Just a blistering broadband connection that was ready on day one, thanks to Skywire’s fiber-independent overhead rooftop radio network. Concludes Gong: “It was a crazy ask, but Skywire knocked it out of the park. They quicky drew up plans, got a radio on the building, ran cabling, and got us up and working in around two weeks. It was a slam dunk!”

The ultimate outcome for WSITM’s customer was clear and compelling: high-speed Tier One carrier-grade performance with high-speed, no-dig, no-delay deployment—the best of both worlds. Tangible business dividends for a smart network investment. That’s the Skywire Difference. Connecting the Unconnectable.™
