(PR NEWSWIRE) LMCI Announces Large Networking Contract with AAA Organizati LMCI Announces Large Networking Contract with AAA Organization SANTA ANA, Calif., July 19 /PRNewswire/ -- LMCI Communications (OTC Bulletin Board: LMKI) today announced that it has signed a multi-million dollar contract with the California State Automobile Association to implement a statewide intranet utilizing LMCI's Zip DSL service delivered through Covad Communications to provide remote access to CSAA's insurance claim adjusters' homes. In addition, LMCI will provide ISDN and High Speed Dialup service to users in areas that do not yet have DSL coverage. Connectivity to the users will pass to the CSAA network over multiple DS-3 connections into LMCI's national network core that is co-located within Level 3 Communications gateways. "LMCI is the leader in providing turnkey, high-speed, cost-effective telecommunication solutions to business. This agreement with the Auto Club enables us to demonstrate the technical advantage that our network can deliver," said Bryan Turbow, President and CTO of LMCI. "The combination of our Real Private Network technology with Covad's superior service and their sizeable coverage area allows us to provide large-scale solutions to corporate customers at a price point that enables these companies to connect their employees to enterprise systems with a maximum return on investment." By using LMCI's Zip DSL and RPN services, CSAA's remote access users will take advantage of processing claims data at an unprecedented speed with the highest level of security available. Zip DSL carries data at speeds up to 1.1 Mb/s (Megabits per second). The data is forwarded from the DSL network into the local gateway, and then switched into LMCI's completely private, redundant network mesh RPN (Real Private Network) backbone and into CSAA data centers. This revolutionary approach to carrying traffic across a wide area eliminates the cost of installing dedicated long-haul circuits from national carriers, and provides a much higher level of service and security than sending the data across an Internet VPN (Virtual Private Network). Zip DSL and RPN Services are currently available in 16 regions, encompassing 37 major metropolitan areas. Service is available in San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, Portland, Seattle, Denver, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., New York and Boston.
