Wireless ( PRNewswire-FirstCall )
MESA, Ariz., Oct 7, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Corridor
Communications Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: CORR) - Ash Creek Wireless (ACW)
serves its current customer base with two primary tower locations and five
Hybrid sites. With the recent addition of Access Points directed toward the
Salem area, ACW now has sites serving a geographic area with a population of
more than 195,000. These sites are all connected to a level one provider, which
is currently providing 4Mbps of bandwidth to support the existing customer base.
The Motorola Canopy 5.7Ghz technology acquired from Ash Creek will enhance the
method Corridor uses to deploy Hybrid sites through out the community.
Corridor's lower subscriber acquisition costs and dealer incentive programs will
allow a faster and more competitive deployment to subscribers in the new areas.
In a rather unique business agreement, ACW is purchasing fiber-optic bandwidth
from Monmouth-Independence Network (MINET) and distributing that bandwidth to
customers. MINET also provides ACW with equipment space (at a minimal fee) for
routers, switches, etc. at their fiber Point-of-Presence (POP). MINET also
provides ACW with transport services to deliver local business customers
directly to the ACW router via local fiber loop. In further developments, ACW
has been accepted as a certified ISP for the new MINET broadband fiber service
being installed to the entire Monmouth/Independence community. At completion,
the MINET service will reach 8,000 households.
"Our newest site will be located southwest of Dallas, Oregon. We are leasing
tower space and will be providing our own outdoor enclosure at this site.
Point-to-Multipoint equipment will be mounted at the 185' level on an existing
monopole tower. This site will provide enhanced coverage in Dallas and new
coverage in the Kings Valley area," reports John Conley, VP of Broadband
Services for Corridor Communications. "With our MINET ISP Certification and our
new Dallas site, our coverage area will have expanded tremendously. With that
infrastructure in place, we will begin an aggressive marketing rollout."
J. Michael Heil Chief Executive Officer of the Company said, "We have complete
confidence with John, and we see the Ash Creek deployment as a model of other
successes we intend to pursue. Big city technologies have come to rural America,
and we plan to extend our services to many additional communities. What John has
developed in the central Oregon region we see as a great fit throughout Oregon
and with our Arizona and Nevada cable franchises."
