Wind Wireless Joins Core Fiber: A Bigger Network for the Spokane Region

For years, Wind Wireless has connected homes and businesses across Spokane and the surrounding region with a mix of fixed wireless and fiber internet.

Now, the next chapter can begin as Wind Wireless is part of Core Fiber.

The name is changing, but the mission behind the service remains familiar: connect more people with fast, dependable internet, even in places where traditional wired broadband can be difficult to build.

By bringing Wind Wireless into Core Fiber, we can build on the network already serving the Spokane region while adding the resources and technology of a larger organization.

Connecting Spokane and the communities around it

Wind Wireless built its footprint across Spokane and many of the communities surrounding it, including Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake, Airway Heights, Deer Park, Mead, Nine Mile Falls, Medical Lake, Newman Lake, and Chattaroy.

That’s a diverse service area. Some customers live in denser suburban communities, while others are farther outside the city where homes can be more spread out and wired infrastructure is harder to extend.

Wind Wireless addressed that challenge by using both fiber and fixed wireless technology.

Core Fiber takes the same flexible approach. Instead of assuming every home needs to be connected the same way, we use the technology that makes the most sense for the location.

Wireless internet has entered a new generation

Fixed wireless has been an important part of connecting communities around Spokane, but the technology has changed significantly over the years.

Older wireless networks often meant slower speeds and more limited capacity. Today, next-gen wireless internet can deliver a very different experience.

Core Fiber’s wireless network runs on fiber infrastructure and is designed to deliver faster speeds, lower latency, and greater reliability than legacy wireless systems. Current plans can deliver speeds up to 1 Gbps depending on location, giving households enough capacity for video calls, streaming, gaming, cloud applications, and multiple connected devices at once.

Fiber and wireless work better together

Fiber remains the gold standard for broadband where it can be deployed directly to a home or business. It delivers tremendous capacity, very low latency, and symmetrical upload and download speeds.

But running fiber to every property isn’t always practical, especially across a geographically dispersed region.

That’s where fiber-powered wireless becomes especially useful. The two technologies complement one another. Fiber forms the high-capacity backbone of the network, while next-gen wireless can extend broadband farther into rural communities where building a direct fiber connection may take longer or cost significantly more.

Wind Wireless was already using both technologies across the Spokane region. Becoming part of Core Fiber gives us an opportunity to continue developing that model on a larger scale.

A local connection should still feel local

A bigger network shouldn’t mean more distant customer service.

Core Fiber believes customers should be able to reach a real person when they have a question, need help troubleshooting an issue, or simply want someone to explain their options.

That’s why customers have access to a Core Advocate, a consistent point of contact who can help with service questions and support.

That focus on accessible, human support is especially important in smaller communities, where customers often value knowing there’s someone who understands their needs and takes ownership of the outcome.

Built for the way the Spokane region uses the internet today

The demands placed on home internet connections have changed dramatically.

Households now rely on broadband for remote work, online school, streaming, gaming, smart-home devices, security cameras, cloud backups, and much more. More families are also replacing traditional cable television entirely with internet-based streaming.

If you’re considering making that switch, our guide to cord cutting and streaming TV explains how the experience has changed and what you need to get started.

Core Fiber’s job is to make sure the network underneath all of those activities can keep up. Wind Wireless becoming part of Core Fiber allows us to keep building on the connectivity already in place across the Spokane region while continuing to invest in both fiber and next-gen wireless infrastructure.

Wind Wireless is now Core Fiber, and we’re excited about what comes next.

FAQs for Wind Wireless customers

Is Wind Wireless now Core Fiber?

Yes. Wind Wireless is now part of Core Fiber and is transitioning to the Core Fiber name. The goal is to build on the network Wind Wireless established while giving customers access to Core Fiber’s broader technology, resources, and support.

Is my internet service changing?

The transition to Core Fiber does not mean Wind Wireless customers need to find a new provider. Core Fiber continues to serve customers across Wind Wireless’s former service area, with available technologies, plans, and speeds depending on location.

Does Core Fiber still offer wireless internet?

Yes. Wireless remains an important part of Core Fiber’s network in the Spokane region. Core Fiber offers fiber-powered next-gen wireless internet designed to provide faster speeds and stronger reliability than older fixed wireless technology.

What is next-gen wireless?

Next-gen wireless uses fiber-connected infrastructure to deliver broadband wirelessly to homes and businesses. It can provide much faster speeds and lower latency than older generations of fixed wireless, especially in areas where extending fiber directly to every property is difficult.

Does Core Fiber also offer fiber internet?

Yes. Core Fiber operates both fiber and wireless networks, with service availability depending on the address. Fiber is used where direct fiber infrastructure is available, while next-gen wireless allows Core Fiber to reach additional communities.

Will I still be able to talk to a real person for support?

Yes. Personal support is central to Core Fiber’s approach. Customers can reach real people for help and have access to a Core Advocate who can serve as a consistent point of contact when assistance is needed.

What does joining Core Fiber mean for the future?

Wind Wireless becoming part of Core Fiber brings its Spokane-area network into a larger organization operating both fiber and next-gen wireless infrastructure. That creates more opportunities to invest in network performance, expand connectivity, and improve the customer experience across the region.
