Las Cruces, NM – June 13, 2024 – According to a recent report by Broadband Now, nearly
nine in ten New Mexico residents cannot purchase broadband at a price of $60/month or less.
To meet this challenge, Hawk Networks, also known as Althea, aims to make the internet more
flexible and affordable for Las Cruces residents by expanding its innovative pay-as-you-go
system.
Althea’s pay-as-you-go system introduces a unique billing model allowing users to pay for
internet services based on usage rather than committing to a fixed monthly subscription. This
approach is particularly beneficial for households struggling to pay the same fixed bill each
month. With Althea, customers can use broadband as they need without contracts or hidden
fees, or artificial speed throttling.
The ability to choose pricing and speeds is an important aspect of this community-centered
broadband provider. Deborah Simpier, CEO and Hawk Networks, who developed the Althea
protocol, emphasizes the importance of communities having ownership over their Internet:
“Fast, affordable internet is a right, not a privilege. With Althea, communities have the power to
make decisions about their network. Customers can determine pricing, speeds, and data usage,
ensuring that the network serves their specific needs and interests.”
Hawk Networks is a pioneer in telecom, leveraging Althea payment technology and a mesh
topology to provide reliable and affordable internet connectivity. The network selects the
cheapest, best connection available on a per-second basis, improving both reliability and
redundancy for customers. This means low latency, no data caps, and an average monthly bill
between $30 and $40.
Key benefits of Althea’s service include:
● Reliable, fast Internet: Options for residents who currently have high-cost, low-speed
options.
● Cost Savings for Local Businesses: By choosing Althea, local businesses can expect
to save between $150 and $200 per month.
● Reliable, best connection service: Althea technology always provides the best
experience and maximum speed your connection can provide.
