LAS VEGAS, NV - October 21, 2003 -- Aiirnet Wireless, a Wi-Fi high-speed Internet service
provider, deploying the latest in wireless technology, today
announced a new ISP service that will partner with remote cities,
rural areas and parts of cities removed from traditional cable
and DSL infrastructure to provide wireless broadband Internet
services. Aiirnet Wireless expects to announce its first agreement
to provide citywide wireless broadband services for a suburban
city in California, said Aiirnet Wireless CEO Stan Hirschman. |

The Aiirlink™ service can create a
three-to-30 mile "hot zone" in which subscribers can
have free-roaming access to wireless broadband. This service
is ideal for a community that was considered too rural or falling
just outside of larger cities' networks or has not yet become
wired for fixed broadband. Aiirnet Wireless has targeted a number
of cities, towns and districts meeting this criteria, and is
also working closely with the Rural Broadband Coalition (RBC)
to identify the broadband needs of Rural America, which encompasses
75 percent of the land mass of the nation and 25 percent of
the population. |

"Tropos Networks is the ideal technology
partner for the AiirLink services as our high performance Wi-Fi
Cells enable deployments that were previously difficult or impossible,"
notes Bert Williams, VP of Marketing for Tropos Networks. "We're
excited to help Aiirnet Wireless realize our shared vision of
bringing wireless broadband to every corner of America, including
rural customers or urban customers who fall outside of existing
broadband infrastructure. |
|
|
| |
"A sizable part of our mission is to
make sure that rural and suburban America do not get passed
over by the broadband revolution," notes Hirschman. "If
these areas don't get wired, then we are looking at some 60
million forgotten people who could otherwise be a major contributor
to our country's productivity." Hirschman also added that
by enabling wireless broadband for an entire community, it could
add jobs in rural communities by enhancing telecommuting opportunities
to major metropolitan areas. |
