Connecting Rural Texas

Area covers over 30,000 SQ Miles
Texas Panhandle covers a geographic region larger than a fifth of our nation’s states yet hosts a population of only 600,000 people. Of the 35 counties only five have a population of 20,000 residents or more and two of those five are under 26,000.
AMA • TechTel
• We maintain one of the largest wireless broadband networks in North America. This network currently covers over 20,000 square miles.
The advent of barbed wire made the ranching industry possible. A new invention plus the creativity and hard work of hardy people created a way of life that continues to thrive after nearly two centuries. Creativity and hard work remain a part of daily life. Consequently, there are no limits to the possibilities as high-speed Internet arrives in the small towns of Texas.
The diagram of the company’s wireless network illustrates better than any written description the magnitude of the network AMATechTel has fully designed, installed and continues to maintain and expand. AMA TechTel offers a secure Layer 3 network with guaranteed uptime, QoS, and advanced services like VPNS. By using proven “carrier class” technology, AMA TechTel offers a quality, cost-effective wireless networking system operating on multiple bands to include 900 MHz, 2.4GHz, and 5.7GHz for last mile connections to customers. Most of the tower locations are connected within the 5GHz range.
