WaveRider Communications Inc. Captures Global Attention
as Wireless Internet Bridge Goes to Market - Million-dollar
contracts for NCL135 confirm worldwide market demand -
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--WaveRider Communications Inc., a
global leader in wireless Internet products, confirmed the
powerful market appeal of its newly-launched NCL135 with the
announcement of significant contracts for pilot installations
scheduled to commence in July.
"WaveRider(r) is now open for business," said Bruce Sinclair,
WaveRider's president and CEO. "After more than a year in
development, the NCL135, a wireless bridge linking local area
networks to the Internet backbone, is completed. Customer support
has been tremendous; pilots have been built and orders are being
received."
British Columbia companies were quick to support WaveRider's new
technology with contracts for pilot installations representing
more than $1 million (US) of WaveRider Wireless Internet
Networking (WIN) products to be installed over the next 12 months.
They include DeafNet Communications International Inc.
(www.deafnet.com), a provider of specialized applications
including video conferencing over the Internet to the world's deaf
community.
"WaveRider's wireless Internet access solution will help us
promote communication through the use of sign language by
providing affordable video conferencing solutions to the deaf and
hard of hearing peoples of the world," said Joe Evans, DeafNet's
CEO.
Also taking advantage of WaveRider's high-speed wireless access
product are Internet Service Providers, FSJ.Net (www.fsj.net.com),
a Northern BC provider of Internet services in Fort St. John and
surrounding area, and Internet Gateway Corporation
(www.intergate.bc.ca) based in Vancouver.
WaveRider demonstrated its commitment to the Internet with the use
of a live Web cast of its Vancouver news conference and product
demonstrations. Both Web casts can be viewed by logging onto
www.waverider.com.
The NCL135 seamlessly integrates with the LMS270 system, designed
to connect end-users to the Internet via wireless modems. The
LMS270 is scheduled to ship later this year. Together, the systems
facilitate a complete wireless Internet access solution.
