Schurz Communications Unveils 'Flight Mobile' Wireless Service

Schurz Communications is entering the mobile market by launching Flight Mobile, an affordable 5G service at their broadband companies. In partnership with the National Content & Technology Cooperative (NCTC), Flight Mobile will provide coverage over a national 5G network as a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO).

Flight Mobile is set to debut at Antietam Broadband in Washington and Carroll County, MD this year with plans for expansion to other Schurz broadband locations. The launch of Flight Mobile is an integral part of the vision to continue to bring added value to broadband customers.

"Our introduction of Flight Mobile is an exciting convergence of broadband and mobile,” said Diego Anderson, Executive Vice President of Broadband Schurz Communications. “The launch of Flight Mobile reaffirms our commitment to delivering innovative products at affordable prices to our customers.

These products extend the value of the broadband services we provide to the communities we serve, and we will continue to invest in such opportunities,” said Anderson.

“NCTC is excited to partner with Schurz on Flight Mobile," said NCTC CEO Lou Borrelli. "Our collaboration enables them to effectively introduce innovative new products, further enhancing the value they bring to their customers."

Flight Mobile will offer a versatile value-added service paired with an Antietam Broadband internet account. It features no contract obligations, no cancellation fees and competitively priced mobile plans.
