To all, Anyone know anything about this company? Fuzion Wireless Communications the First to Commercially Deploy Wireless Broadband Internet Service Business Wire - November 22, 1999 08:13 BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 22, 1999--Fuzion Wireless Communications, Inc. (Fuzion) continues the commercial deployment of its high-speed wireless broadband Internet and data services ahead of large-scale competitors still in the testing phase. Fuzion is the leading carrier of wireless broadband data serving numerous bandwidth-hungry business customers in South Florida. The company launched its service in Boca Raton and Delray in September. "As a competitive local exchange carrier, we have customers using our wireless network for Internet access, private Intranets, and a host of other broadband data services," said John Wind III, Fuzion's vice president of marketing and business development. "While other carriers are just now looking into providing this technology, Fuzion is the first out of the gate beginning here in Florida, and we are in the process of expanding nationally." Major telecommunications carriers such as AT&T (NYSE: T), BellSouth (NYSE: BLS), MCI WorldCom (NASD: WCOM), Sprint (NYSE: FON) and US West are in the process of testing broadband wireless access using the Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) radio spectrum, which is available immediately to whomever makes use of it first in a service area. Fuzion has stepped to the forefront as the first communications company to commercially deploy fixed wireless Internet service using these U-NII low frequency radio bands at 5.8 gigahertz. "With our ability to provide large amounts of mission critical bandwidth-on-demand, the Fuzion wireless solution really stands out over traditional wireline systems," said Wind. "This is just one of the reasons the major carriers are looking to follow our lead by utilizing the unlicensed spectrum." Fuzion uses Adaptive Broadband's (NASD: ADAP) AB-Access(TM) service equipment connected directly to an asynchronous transfer mode network (ATM) built on the Qwest Communications International Inc. (NASD: QWST) fiber optic backbone. Fuzion's wireless solution enables businesses to access bandwidth-intensive services such as video conferencing, streaming video, interactive remote applications and data networking - simultaneously and over a single connection. The company has also completed successful reliability testing under the most severe weather conditions - Hurricanes Irene, Dennis and Floyd and Tropical Storm Harvey. Headquartered in Boca Raton, Fla., Fuzion Wireless Communications is changing the rules of Internet access by eliminating the bandwidth limitations of the local loop. Fuzion's wireless Internet access solution allows the end user, including ISPs, to bypass the incumbent Regional Bells. Fuzion provides bi-directional broadband-on-demand Internet services to business customers at speeds of one-half to 25 megabits per second, a speed up to 400 times faster than dial-up service with a 56K modem.
