Google said it closed its acquisition of wireless and fiber internet provider Webpass, and promised that it would expand the company’s point-to-point wireless service into more cities. Google also reiterated its desire to bring wireless technologies to its own Google Fiber offering.
“Of course, at Google Fiber we’re particularly excited about Webpass’ application of point-to-point wireless deployment methodology,” Google wrote on its website. “As we’ve said, our strategy going forward will be a hybrid approach with wireless playing an integral part. Webpass has proven that point-to-point wireless is a reliable way to connect more people to high-speed Internet in a densely populated environment, by setting up wireless transmission links between buildings.”
