airBand Acquires Fixed Wireless Business From WindChannel Communications; airBand brings WiMAX-enabled broadband solutions to the Southeast.

DALLAS -- airBand Communications Inc., the largest fixed wireless company for business customers in the United States, today announced that it has acquired the fixed wireless business and all monitoring contracts associated with enterprise-deployed Wi-Fi networks from WindChannel Communications Inc. The transaction provides airBand with an immediate presence in North Carolina's major markets, including Charlotte, Raleigh Durham and Greensboro.

"This acquisition expands our coverage into the Southeast, providing North Carolina businesses with access to a robust data network that delivers a level of redundancy and scalability that can't be matched," said Mark Spagnolo, airBand president and CEO. "As a result, we can enable companies of all sizes to harness the power of our network to take advantage of innovative broadband solutions - including dedicated bandwidth up to GigE speeds, Voice over IP and remote data protection - all of which are increasingly top of mind as companies tackle their business continuity challenges."

airBand will deploy pre-WiMAX technology throughout its network to support greater capacity and higher quality of service for Voice over IP, video, remote data protection, 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), which provides a 100 percent uptime guarantee.
