Webpass, which is owned by Google Fiber and focuses on high-speed data deployments using point-to-point wireless, announced this week it has expanded into Seattle. It has identified the first building where it will provide high-speed internet service in the city, and has hired a GM there.
The company will offer up to 1 Gbps to residential and business customers in a 40-story tower located above Pike Place Market in Seattle and “residents of other apartment and condo buildings can reach out to express interest in bringing Webpass to their home,” it notes in a blog.
“We go where the sales take us,” CEO and founder Charles Barr tells Fortune. “When you look at our network, it’s not a network that you would see in a network design manual because we follow the business. The pace of expansion really depends on how quickly we attract customers and how quickly we attract new buildings.”
The service is going for $60/month with no contracts. Webpass will use point-to-point wireless radios to tap into the building’s existing Ethernet cabling infrastructure. It installs internet service in residential apartment or condo buildings with 10 units or more with no installation cost.
Seattle is the seventh Webpass market.
