Denver Democratic National Convention Attendees will be able to Stay
Connected Wirelessly on 3.65 GHz Spectrum
Denver, CO -- Nth Air, Inc., a provider of next-generation wireless
communication services, and Fujitsu Network Communications, a leading
supplier of innovative optical and wireless networking solutions, today
announced the launch of the Nth Air wireless broadband solution across
Denver for delivery of high-capacity video, voice and data services. The
WiMAX network is available for the 5,000 delegates and more than 15,000
members of the media expected to attend the Democratic National
Convention (DNC) in Denver next week. The wireless broadband network
will allow users to have the same network experience as they would at
their office and avoid any potential bandwidth bottlenecks from existing
wireless networks due to the influx of people. |

“Reporters or city officials and their
staff members may simply not have time to head back to their hotels to
file stories or transmit important information to each other,” said
Craig Niemeyer, chief executive officer and president of Nth Air. “By
subscribing to our WiMAX service, they’ll receive high-speed wireless
Internet access directly from the convention center with the same kind
of connectivity they’d get with their own networks at the office.”
“We are excited about working with Nth Air to offer business-class
wireless services to government officials and their staff, businesses,
reporters, and others who plan to attend the DNC,” said Jim Orr,
principal network architect at Fujitsu Network Communications. “Our
WiMAX solutions allow carriers such as Nth Air to work with one
strategic partner for all of their broadband wireless requirements to
help them deliver the leading-edge services for anytime, anywhere voice,
video and data communications their subscribers want.”
The fixed point-to-multipoint network will provide broadband wireless
Internet data, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and video services
for businesses and municipalities who can subscribe to the service
during the convention and not be locked into a long-term contract. WiMAX-compliant
point-to-point connectivity is also available to connect users staying
at different hotels in wide area network configurations.
Nth Air provides completely integrated, end-to-end wireless broadband
solutions from business-class connectivity to transport access, disaster
recovery, professional services, and managed services. Up to 1 Gbps
symmetrical, dedicated, scalable services are delivered to support
subscriber needs. Nth Air is committed to extending the network reach of
individuals and businesses that need to be connected any time, any place
and anywhere.
Fujitsu delivers fixed and mobile WiMAX equipment and the professional
services that support wireless network design, installation and
provisioning. The Fujitsu WiMAX solution that Nth Air purchased operates
in the 3.65 GHz spectrum, which is ideal for quickly deploying wireless
broadband services to rural or underserved markets.
Fujitsu has an alliance with Airspan Networks (NASDAQ: AIRN) to market
and support their portfolio of WiMAX solutions, including FCC-certified
3.65 GHz macrocells, picocells and customer premise equipment. This
alliance is an extension of the co-development agreement in place to
bring high powered mobile WiMAX base stations to the global market.
