The physical layer behind AirConnectOS — a self-funded, operator-built network that has delivered rural broadband since 2004, long before government programs made it fashionable.
Approximate tower locations and coverage zones across southwestern Wyoming. Network spans Uinta County into portions of Sweetwater County.
No glossy slides, no startup hype. This is the actual infrastructure doing the work — field-proven equipment, local crews, real redundancy.
Dual upstream providers for path redundancy. Mix of licensed microwave links and fiber drops where available. No single point of failure.
Cambium cnPilot for PTMP deployments. Ubiquiti airFiber for point-to-point backhaul. Mimosa for high-density coverage sectors. All commercial-grade, not consumer hobby equipment.
5 GHz unlicensed for CPE and sector links — cost-effective where line-of-sight is clean. Licensed CBRS (3.5 GHz) for high-interference zones and where durability matters.
24/7 uptime monitoring on all tower sites. Latency, packet loss, and capacity metrics tracked continuously. Proactive alerting before customers notice issues.
Secondary ISP upstream with automatic failover. UPS and generator backup at critical tower sites. Dual geographic routing on core links.
No out-of-state contractors. Tower crews and support staff live in the communities we serve. Faster response times, better knowledge of local terrain and weather patterns.
SWWWC incorporated. First tower goes live in Evanston — bridging the connectivity gap for rural Uinta County residents.
Coverage extends to Fort Bridger, Lyman, and Mountain View. First fiber backhaul drop acquired. Customer base grows to hundreds.
Upgraded to Cambium cnPilot platform. Dual upstream providers installed. All critical sites get UPS/generator backup.
Expanded into Bridger Valley. CBRS licensed spectrum acquired for high-interference zones. Infrastructure aligned for BEAD program requirements.
The three point-to-point corridors listed below terminate at all eight tower sites on the network; carried traffic values are engineering-estimated against the provisioned ceiling on each corridor pair.
Primary east-west spine carrying aggregated sector traffic from Evanston HQ, Fort Bridger, Lyman, Mountain View, and Bridger Valley north-handoff to the Rock Springs sweetwater core backhaul. Today provisioned on a pair of licensed 6 GHz PtP radios, current 5-minute carried traffic reads 0.32 Gbps — well below the 1.0 Gbps ceiling on the pair. Headroom is reserved for business-tier upgrades and Pinedale build-out handoff traffic once that corridor goes live.
North–south corridor terminating at the Bridger Valley cluster (Lyman, Mountain View, Bridger Valley, Lonetree). Resolved via the Fort Bridger relay rather than a single direct link. Carried traffic sits well under 25% of provisioned ceiling — the Lonetree expansion added residential capacity but did not measurably move aggregate backhaul utilization on this corridor.
Cross-terrain corridor routed through the Ft Bridger relay that gives the Rock Springs hub an alternate northbound path when the primary Evanston HQ inbound link takes weather degradation. Sits at roughly 26% of provisioned capacity; not currently a hot route, but is the explicit second-path redundancy the capability statement §6 documents.
Values shown above are engineering estimates; the data source is swap-ready for live per-corridor telemetry when ops instrumentation publishes the numbers.
The Wyoming BEAD allocation is significant. SWWWC's existing footprint means BEAD dollars go farther — less capital expenditure required to reach unserved addresses, faster deployment timelines, lower per-location cost for the state.
BEAD can count our existing service area as covered — no need to fund what's already live. Focus shifts to extending the perimeter to unserved addresses efficiently.
Local crews already in the territory. Equipment vendors under contract. Tower sites secured with long-term leases. No ramp-up time needed.
We operate in some of Wyoming's toughest terrain — high elevation, mountainous ridgelines, extreme weather. BEAD infrastructure in SW Wyoming benefits from our expertise here.
