FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
One Ring Networks To Rollout New WiMAX Service
And Provide the Atlanta Metro Market with New Wireless Offerings
ATLANTA (January 9, 2008) - One Ring Networks announced today that it
will be launching WiMAX service in the Atlanta Metro area using licensed
spectrum it was recently granted. The grant which gives One Ring access
to 50Mhz of spectrum between 3650Mhz and 3700Mhz has favorable
propagation characteristics. WiMAX is a wireless technology which
allows broad coverage with data-rich connectivity unlike Wi-Fi which is
unlicensed and limited to small hot-spots. One Ring will couple this
spectrum with WiMAX equipment to offer a wide array of wireless business
offerings. By using the company's existing and extensive wireless
infrastructure, the entire metropolitan Atlanta area and surrounding
cities can expect to see new, economical, and innovative offerings as a
result of the company’s WiMAX network.
One Ring has aggressive rollout plans that will bring WiMAX to all major
Atlanta sub-markets in 2008. Additionally, the company has plans for a
multi-market initiative to expand the reach of its services to
businesses throughout select metropolitan markets. “Our new WiMAX
offering will allow us to provide Atlanta businesses with a whole new
value proposition,” said Matt Liotta, CEO of One Ring Networks.
“Businesses across metro Atlanta are increasingly discovering the
limitations of T1s and the need for truly diverse telecommunication
services.”
In the United States, an estimated 2 percent of buildings have access to
fiber. That means 98% of businesses don't have any access alternative.
As a fiber and fixed-wireless provider, One Ring now has the
infrastructure to offer access solutions to both large and small
businesses regardless of their proximity to fiber.“Companies often
struggle with business continuity issues related to their telecom
infrastructure,” said Kris Maher, Director of Sales for One Ring
Networks. “Most businesses can't afford a fiber build and are excited
to learn about a wireless solution.” One Ring's deployment of WiMAX
technology will emerge as an alternative broadband solution for a range
of business services where deployment of landline-based technologies is
cost prohibitive.
