About Arrowhead Network Solutions
Created to provide a service for the Town of Andrews in partnership with the Andrews Valley Initiative, AVI and the Pinwilz Company new business incubator. ANS has was formed to provide rural broadband Internet access in the three far west counties in North Carolina. The project has incorporated help from HandMade in America, The NC Rural Center, The Town of Andrews, AVI and countless other businesses and consultants. Our first project utilizes fiber connectivity from Balsam West and numerous area tower locations throughout the area.
As of 7/20/2010 Andrews Broadband has rapidly connected over 100 customers to its broadband network and has plans to have 500 customers by the end of the year.
Arrowhead Network Solutions manages the project and has an installation team of local installers. For us it is critical to use local people and create local jobs. We maintain a proactive approach to both network growth and customer service. ANS has implemented a sales and marketing strategy that is low cost and effective in accomplishing the growth goals while keeping the costs for marketing to a minimum. The principal of this program is to be a local provider. Arrowhead Network Solution's base office is in downtown Andrews and currently employs five people with plans to hire more as the network grows.
Next on the horizon for Arrowhead Network Solutions
Our next project is to design and deploy small urban Wi-Fi networks. While designed for urban underserved areas in NC this solution will also work well in some rural towns and communities. The principal of this solution is to meet the needs of the people we are working with. There are still to many areas in NC both rural and urban that do not have access to affordable high speed internet access.
