airBand Brings Pre-WiMAX Technology To West Valley Businesses

June 16, 2006

airBand Communications Inc., the largest fixed wireless company for business customers in the United States, today announced that it has expanded its wireless network in the greater Phoenix area with an 11th base station that is deploying pre-WiMAX equipment. The base station, located in the West Valley, provides coverage to approximately 2,000 businesses within a four- to five-mile radius.

airBand is deploying pre-WiMAX technology throughout its network to provide Phoenix businesses with greater broadband capacity and higher quality of service for Voice over IP, video, disaster recovery, VPN and remote server applications. Because airBand’s fixed wireless network bypasses the local telecom company, customers benefit from scalable bandwidth solutions, quick installations and higher levels of customer service. airBand customers can upgrade bandwidth in hours and get services installed in a matter of days. In addition, airBand offers an unmatched level of reliability backed by its Service Level Agreement (SLA) that provides a 100-percent uptime guarantee.

airBand has successfully operated in Phoenix for more than five years serving companies such as Mountain Park Health Center, a non-profit operator of four medical clinics in the Phoenix area.
