in Las Vegas
Company to Reveal Revolutionary New Product at CTIA Wireless 2001
Trade Show
CAMBRIDGE, ON, March 13 /CNW/ - COM DEV Wireless, a division of COM
DEV
International Ltd. (TSE: CDV), will reveal its revolutionary new
M/ERGY(TM)
high-speed wireless data system at the Cellular Telecommunications and
Internet Association's (CTIA) Wireless 2001 show taking place at the
Sands
Convention Center in Las Vegas on March 20-22 (booth (number sign)
3058). The
M/ERGY system enables service providers to offer their customers
high-speed
wireless Internet access at a fraction of the cost of providing cable
modem or
DSL service. Designed as a complete end-to-end solution, M/ERGY is also
able
to provide full service to mobile subscribers traveling at speeds up to
120
mph and incorporates voice-over IP capability. COM DEV Wireless designs
and
manufactures leading-edge wireless systems and subsystems for major
global
wireless, cellular telephone and PCS system vendors worldwide.
According to Keith Ainsworth, President and CEO of COM DEV
International,
"M/ERGY is the world's first high-speed, truly broadband system that
offers
unprecedented access to the Internet. M/ERGY will provide full
high-speed
wireless modem support to laptop and desktop computers. We're creating
an
entirely new opportunity for communications, data and Internet service
providers to offer fast, easy and highly flexible access to the
Internet, e-
commerce and on-demand video. Anyone seeking a glimpse of the future of
entertainment, commerce and Internet communications should attend our
press
conference at 12:30 PM PST on Wednesday, March 21, at the Las Vegas
show."
"Our system is extremely cost competitive. Compared to related
systems
from wired cable and DSL to 3G cellular phone systems, M/ERGY requires
much
less investment of capital and other resources," said Roger Boivin,
President
of COM DEV Wireless. "We believe it will give adopters a distinct
competitive
advantage because they will be able to offer service at prices
comparable to
current technology and launch an entirely new and immediate source of
revenue.
M/ERGY is the ideal solution for companies hungering for a slice of the
enormous global market for high-speed Internet access."
