Virtual Marketing Introduces Wireless Internet
Technology Called Viperlink
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- The Virtual Marketing Corporation, a
Louisville-based Internet marketing, telecommunications and networking company, announces its
proprietary wireless Internet technology called ViperLink.
The Virtual Marketing Corporation, or VMC, can now supply Louisville-area businesses and
residences with high-speed digital Internet access at a fraction of the cost of traditional Internet
access. Currently VMC can provide Internet access speeds of up to 6Mbps, completely wireless
without the need of any telephone connections, local loop charges or routers.
ViperLink, Virtual Marketing's wireless technology, will allow businesses to provide Internet access
over their existing computer network without purchasing any additional equipment. ViperLink acts as
an intelligent bridge and packet relay network to allow packets to travel to VMC's local Internet
network hub and then out to the backbone. Because ViperLink is wireless and needs no dedicated
circuits, there is massive increase in redundancy, reliability, speed and performance.
VMC sells the service by the amount of the bandwidth the customer needs, starting at 128K and
going to 6Mbps. This service is not limited to businesses only; individual consumers and very small
organizations can buy ViperLink at less than half the cost of traditional ISDN service.
Virtual Marketing company chairman Jeff Wellemeyer says, "We are excited about the opportunities
that this technology is bringing to Louisville. We plan to have ViperLink available in Atlanta,
Chicago, Houston and San Francisco by year-end, and we will be introducing it to the international
market starting the first quarter of `97."
With all the upside, there must be some downside, and there is. A customer must be located within
six miles of the closest VMC network VPOP "Virtual Point of Presence." In Louisville this covers
almost all of metro downtown, most of Hurstbourne Business Park and Bluegrass Research and
Industrial Park in Jeffersontown.
