NewPath Networks is a wireless infrastructure company that designs, develops and operates fiber-fed wireless carrier networks to improve signal strength and network capacity. NewPath increases existing carrier footprints by adding network coverage in hard-to-reach areas to increase quality for the wireless customers. NewPath's network is run over existing infrastructure, such as telephone poles and street lights, to expand carrier networks with solutions that are aesthetically acceptable to local communities and municipalities. NewPath focuses on bringing turnkey wireless communications solutions to areas where traditional network build-out is difficult due to zoning or cost constraints, such as large corporate, retail, or university campuses, sports arenas and stadiums, and neighborhood areas. For communities, NewPath specializes in building creative solutions that have minimal visual impact, while improving wireless service coverage and capacity in the area. Their networks allow wireless service providers to expand their networks to these hard-to-reach areas by leasing space on the NewPath network, without making the capital investment of building their own network systems or managing the additional infrastructure. NewPath provides a cost-effective solution that addresses increased capacity needs due to growth in data and multi-media applications that require more bandwidth from the wireless carriers. NewPath's design allows the wireless carrier to leverage available network infrastructure while maintaining independent control of their network configurations. NewPath was founded by wireless industry professionals with knowledge of the inter-workings of the wireless carriers, OEM providers and communication tower developers. NewPath Networks began in 2004, and has since expanded their network footprint to include 20 states. Key projects include the Westgate campus networks that will support the Arizona Cardinals and the 2008 SuperBowl. NewPath's model is designed to support multiple wireless carriers within a defined network using a shared infrastructure that results in enhanced service while minimizing the expense of expanding existing carrier networks.
