WISPs See Growth Tied to Pandemic

Wireless ISPs peak-hours traffic rose 36% on average, and 83% of the companies added subscribers amid COVID-19, the Wireless ISP Association found. The survey released Friday had 150 responses. The survey found 22% are hiring staff to meet the growth and “87% have the equipment to manage new subscribers, yet some are concerned about eventual equipment shortfalls," WISPA said.
