DALLAS and AUSTIN, TX -- airBand Communications, Inc., the largest fixed
wireless company for businesses in the United States, today announced
widespread availability of its broadband solutions in Austin, Texas.

and represents the first of several new markets the company will launch
this year as part of a larger national expansion strategy.

airBand is deploying pre-WiMAX technology throughout its network to
provide Austin businesses with greater 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.
“Austin is the logical first step in our expansion plan, both because it
extends our coverage within Texas and is an innovative technology market
with growing businesses that are demanding robust broadband solutions,”
said Mark Spagnolo, president and CEO of airBand. “We believe that
airBand will quickly become their leading choice for broadband services,
both for the flexibility of our wireless network and the increasing
number of solutions that we can integrate and deliver over one highly
scalable connection.”
“airBand is a valuable addition to our business community because it
shares Austin’s entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to driving
economic growth by leveraging technology,” said Erin Defosse, Chairman
of the Austin Wireless Alliance, a non-profit organization that promotes
Austin as a global leader in business activity, technical innovation and
community participation within the wireless industry. “airBand’s
successful deployment of advanced wireless technology such as WiMAX in
our market will strengthen Austin’s standing as one of the nation’s
wireless capitals.”
airBand’s first base station is operational and ready to deliver service
to businesses in the downtown area. Next month, the company will expand
its wireless coverage to the Arboretum area where its new offices are
located and can be reached at 512-782-4800.
