SiteLine is partnered with Cabletron Systems (NYSE: CS - news) for its data network and SPECTRUM management solutions. SiteLine Snags Ameritech Executive as Chief Executive Officer New CEO to Build SiteLine Into National High-Speed Internet Access Leader PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- SiteLine, a leading national provider of in-building high-speed data communications services for small- and medium-sized businesses, announced today it has signed Deborah Lenart as the company's new President and Chief Executive Officer. SiteLine lured Lenart from Ameritech Corporation where she was responsible for a multi-billion dollar business unit that included managed services, business-to-business broadband, and data networking solutions divisions. SiteLine is executing on a very aggressive nationwide expansion effort. Ms. Lenart brings to her new position the relevant experience and proven track record in building and successfully operating large-scale enterprises in the media and telecommunications sectors. A successful executive in the telecommunications industry, Lenart made her mark at Ameritech as president of Ameritech New Media Inc., where she helped build the company from a business plan into the single largest landline cable TV competitor in the U.S. This year, Lenart was honored as one of the ``Top 10 People to Watch in 1999' by Telephony magazine. Lenart also was a founding employee of Metropolitan Fiber Systems, Inc. (MFS), and worked for MCI during the period in which the company initiated competition for long-distance phone service. ``We set our sights on bringing on board a world-class telecommunications industry executive who could accelerate our national rollout and ensure that SiteLine's growth is managed for long-term sustainability,' said Lawrence Tanenbaum, the company's chairman and co-founder. ``Deb's experience exceeds our expectations. She possesses impeccable leadership qualities and a laser focus on delivering results. Her presence solidifies SiteLine as one of the preeminent players in the building-centric communications sector.' SiteLine delivers its high-speed, in-building Internet service under its AccessReady brand. The company converts a building's existing telephone wiring into a secure high-speed data network using Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) technology as its in-building operating platform. Tenants in AccessReady buildings gain ``always-on' Internet connections that are 50 times faster than standard dial-up services. In addition, unlike some traditional DSL providers that take weeks to provision service, tenants in AccessReady buildings can obtain high-speed Internet access service in just 72 hours. The company also provides end-to-end network management services, including remote network monitoring, firewall security, Web site hosting, domain name registration, Web site development and targeted e-commerce support resources. ``SiteLine mirrors my experience as one of the first employees at MFS where we introduced a new business model to exploit an exploding industry,' said Lenart. ``SiteLine is in the same position -- a major player in a sector that is going to experience extraordinary growth. ``Too many people are being seduced by technologies that are expensive and complex to implement,' added Lenart. ``SiteLine's business model is the most relevant to its users, and is the most straightforward to provision. Unlike other building-centric communications companies that offer a bundled service package, including voice, AccessReady services offer what small- and medium-sized office tenants need now -- in the most unintimidating manner.' About SiteLine SiteLine promotes its advanced Internet communications services to large-scale commercial property owners and real estate investment trusts (REITs) under the AccessReady brand. SiteLine is currently deploying AccessReady services in more than 40 million square feet of office properties nationwide, and is rapidly expanding into the top 20 U.S. markets.
