) today reported the successful deployment of the first US.RF(TM) Quick-Cell(TM) Wireless CLEC (Competitive Local Exchange Carrier) An organization offering local telephone service that is not one of the traditional telephone companies. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 allowed competition to the incumbent telcos (ILECs), enabling new companies (CLECs)  Internet kit, in Casper, Wyo. A two-person team at Casper-based Internet Service Provider Internet service provider (ISP)

Company that provides Internet connections and services to individuals and organizations. For a monthly fee, ISPs provide computer users with a connection to their site (see data transmission), as well as a log-in name and password.
 (ISP) CoffeyNet installed the US.RF Quick-Cell Wireless Internet System in about 18 hours, then deployed Wyoming's first two-way wireless burstable T1-equivalent bandwidth in two hours. The wireless T-1-equivalent speed Internet access system is currently serving a consortium of public agencies in two Natrona County, Wyo. government buildings located in Casper.

"The US.RF Quick-Cell Wireless Internet System enabled us to offer T-1-equivalent bandwidth 45% below our local market price of traditional, hard-wire T-1 service provided by companies such as MCI (1) (Media Control Interface) A high-level programming interface from Microsoft and IBM for controlling multimedia devices. It provides commands and functions to open, play and close the device.

: FON)," said Greg Coffey, president of CoffeyNet. "We didn't run into any major problems (deploying Quick-Cell), and, once everything was in place, it took only about two hours to make the system operational," he added. Coffey also stated that CoffeyNet is set to establish T-1-equivalent speed service for four more Casper businesses, and has received interest from a local television station and a major bank, in addition to strong interest from the Casper retail sector. CoffeyNet expects to begin to provide the first wireless ISDN ISDN

 (128kbs) equivalent-speed Internet service to home users in the Casper market in the near future.

In addition to modem and other related hardware sales, Internet Media will share in all recurring monthly gross revenue generated by its US.RF Quick-Cell technology-partner ISPs.

When asked for comment, David Loflin, President of Internet Media, said, "The roughly 6000 local, independent ISPs that each year, in effect, resell millions of dollars worth of bandwidth for the Baby Bells and Internet backbones like US West (NYSE: USW), and account for billions of dollars of hardware sales for companies like 3COM (Nasdaq: COMS COMS 3Com Corporation (stock symbol)

), Ascend (Nasdaq: ASND) and Cisco (Nasdaq: CSCO), represent an enormous potential distribution channel for US.RF Wireless Internet Access technology.

"This Casper deployment of the US.RF Quick-Cell Wireless Internet System validates our assertion that any local ISP can, without any on-site assistance from Internet Media whatsoever, in less than one week, be transformed into a powerful local provider of Internet business solutions. That transformation can have important and positive implications for the futures of both Internet Media and the local, independent ISP who implements our Wireless Internet technology."
