Wireless, Inc. Introduces StarPort W-DSL Internet Access Service Check It Out
February 8, 1999 -- Wireless, Inc., a leader in
wireless networking, today announced the
launch of StarPort, a new service that allows
Internet Service Providers (ISP's) the ability
to offer Wireless Digital Subscriber Line
(W-DSL) Internet access to their business
customers located in Tier II and Tier III cities
nationwide.
StarPort delivers all mission critical
applications including email, web browsing,
FTP and Voice over IP (VoIP). StarPort
Service provides "always on'' Internet access
with end-user bandwidth at speeds up to 512
kbps.
StarPort offers ISP's a hands-off packaged
solution to instantly deploy W-DSL, which
includes installation, maintenance, and
round-the-clock monitoring. The service will
broaden the providers' product offerings,
increase the size of their accessible markets
and augment their revenue potential. StarPort
provides a low cost of entry to enable
Internet access providers to take control of
their customer's local access with a
quality-dedicated network.
"StarPort is a revolutionary interconnect
solution for ISP's to build their own networks
and enter new markets, where high speed,
affordable, Internet access is not readily
available through wired solutions,''
commented Stephen C. Miller vice president
-- StarPort.
StarPort deploys W-DSL technology
engineered by Wireless, Inc. The WaveNet®
IP 2458 wireless access router, which was
also announced today, is used to deploy
W-DSL for StarPort Networks. The WaveNet
IP 2458 is a point-to-multipoint wireless
access router, operating in the 2.4 and 5.8
GHz license free ISM bands with system
capacity up to 20 Mbps per central site.
Central to remote line of site transmission
distances can be up to 20 miles (32 km),
providing rapid network connections based
on Internet Protocol. StarPort is deployed in a
typical star topology and is integrated
directly into an access provider's point of
presence (POP).
MultiLink Wireless Solutions, Inc. is
deploying the first StarPort Internet network
to their business customers within Fort
Walton Beach and Pensacola, Fla. MultiLink
has built a wireless local loop distribution
network from their Network Operations
Center (NOC) in Fort Walton Beach and will
continue to build out their network to provide
affordable Internet access solutions and web
services.

building our wireless Internet network from
New Orleans to Jacksonville. StarPort allows
us to provide our business and government
customers with greater access speeds and
instant connectivity, as compared to land
based solutions,'' commented Jeff Hammond
president of MultiLink Wireless Solutions,
Inc.
"After extensive investigation we identified
Wireless, Inc. and the StarPort program as
the best candidate in regards to equipment
reliability, capability, and service to support
our deployment efforts,'' continued
Hammond.
