ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 10, 2000--Triton Network Systems announced today it has signed a three-year, multi-million dollar agreement to supply Advanced Radio Telecom Corp. (ART) (NASDAQ:ARTT), with Triton Network's 100 Mbps Invisible Fiber(TM) Internet and SONET OC-3/SDH STM-1 radios.
Deployed in consecutive point networks, the Triton Networks Invisible Fiber(TM) product line delivers fiber-quality service over RF frequencies in the 20 GHz - 40 GHz range. The point-to-point-to-point network configuration, a self-healing ring, offers high reliability for both SONET/SDH and Fast Ethernet, while maintaining the Invisible Fiber product line's revolutionary high speeds and high density deployments.
"The carrier-class performance of the Triton Network's radios deployed in our 100 Mbps metropolitan area network in San Jose (Calif.) gives ART great confidence in entering into a long-term contract," said Robert McCambridge, ART President and COO. "As we accelerate our build-out of our first 40 domestic markets, Triton Network's Fast Ethernet and OC-3 radios will help position ART as a leading service provider delivering broadband access at speeds up to 155 Mbps."
ART is the nation's first broadband wireless IPSP offering a carrier-class, cost-effective, very high-speed metropolitan area access solution to Internet service providers (ISP), inter-exchange carriers (IXC), on-site service providers (OSP), and application service providers (ASP).
