Internet provider Omnipoint on Wednesday launched new mobile services powered by startup Gigs and running on AT&T’s mobile network. Omnipoint said the move will position it to offer bundles packaging mobile services with home Internet offers that use its fiber and fixed wireless access (FWA) networks.
“We have offered mobile services in the past, but we are now relaunching Omnipoint Mobile,” Timothy Paul, the president of Omnipoint, wrote in response to questions from Light Reading. Paul said Omnipoint decided to team up with platform provider Gigs to offer a more flexible mix of MVNO services.
Omnipoint joins AT&T, Verizon, Comcast and others in looking to pair home Internet services with mobile offerings in an effort to tie customers down more tightly. That trend has gained steam amid MVNO offerings from a growing number of cable companies and fixed wireless services from a growing number of mobile network operators.
“The idea is to provide bundled offerings to our customers,” Paul said. “With this new partnership, Omnipoint will announce new bundled and affordable service offerings.”
