Air Advantage Franchise
Wireless Internet service provider
Air Advantage™ is a wireless Internet service provider (WISP) who began providing broadband wireless service in 2002. Our network began with 5 tower antennas serving a potential market of about 2,000 USD people. During its initial stages of growth, Air Advantage™ received two grants from the USDA's Rural Utility Service (RUS) to provide Internet service in two small un-served markets. A relationship was built with the USDA and Air Advantage™ secured a loan through the USDA's low-interest Broadband Loan program to provide broadband service to parts of rural Michigan. These grants and loans have helped Air Advantage™ grow into one of the Nation's leading license-free wireless broadband providers.
Air Advantage™ is making their system of broadband delivery available to like minded investors and entrepreneurs for the purpose of bridging the digital divide that exists in rural America. Our system makes it simple and affordable to deliver broadband to un-served and underserved rural and small urban markets. Our vast experience in providing this service to rural communities can help you bring this necessary service to your community.
Air Advantage™ provides strong back office support services to allow the franchisee business owner to focus on business growth, customer attention and a local community presence. We feel very strongly that an active local community presence will help make this business a success. As the franchisor, we will provide you with billing, scheduling, and customer technical support services. We will also assist you with system technical support, tower selection services, RF propagation analysis, network design, installation, monitoring and maintenance. We have developed a customer installation process that can save you substantial labor costs by using our system.

Training & Support

Air Advantage™ franchise business owners do not need to busy themselves with the additional costs and headaches associated with the administrative tasks of billing, collections and scheduling. Our system provides the franchisee with billing, collection and scheduling services. Our system allows you to monitor the schedule and add appointments as needed, but most of the customer installation appointments will be handled by the Corporate Call Center.
One problem we have seen in our business is that small ISP's fail because the administrative burden of billing, scheduling and customer technical support becomes overwhelming as the business grows. With the Air Advantage™ system, we handle those administrative tasks for you. This allows you to market your business, grow your business and add customers. Once a customer is on board, all technical and billing functions are handled by the Corporate Office. This allows you to focus on running YOUR business while we support your customers and your network
Our Network Operations Center (NOC) will help monitor and maintain your network. We will make any necessary corrections remotely and notify you automatically if there is a problem with your network. Our 24/7 customer support provides your customers with around the clock care to help with their networking needs. We can monitor customer connections from the NOC and pinpoint the areas of concern. This service will also help you grow your network. Your time can be spent building a customer base rather than billing customers or taking time to provide them technical phone support.
