Orange County, Ca. Wireless ISP to build out an ATM Network in Los Angeles County ORANGE, Ca.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 27, 2000-- Business Wire - Global Pacific Wireless Internet, (a division of Worldwide Wireless Networks Inc.)(OTCBB: WWWN - news) today announced that it is expanding its operations into the Los Angeles Metropolitan, San Fernando Valley and Westside areas to provide an integrated Wireless Broadband backbone, delivering Internet access connecting customers via an aerial point to multi-point network. Office facilities and POP (Point of Presence) locations have been established and are being activated. Worldwide Wireless Networks currently delivers next-generation high-speed Internet connectivity and collocation services to enterprise business customers and multi-tenant facilities over its owned and operated wireless network in Orange County, Ca. ``The Los Angeles marketplace is roughly five times the size of our company's already proven Orange County wireless network and will serve many new types of commercial customers. This way we utilize our wireless networks in both counties, establishing an ATM backbone to provide a seamless and integrated service to not only our existing customers but also new customers providing greater levels of QoS (Quality of Service) and redundancy,' said Jack Tortorice, CEO of Worldwide Wireless Networks. WWWN also plans to offer Wireless Broadband services to conventional ISP's (Internet Service Providers) as a back-up and redundancy connection, therefore, adding value to these organizations' existing service offerings. WWWN would provide these ISP's with a back-up wireless Internet connection with speeds of up to 155 Mbps and in the event that their conventional wired T-1's and T-3's from the CLEC's were to experience a network outage, WWWN is installed and present to have a redundant wireless solution activated. WWWN's decision to deploy a wireless ATM backbone in Los Angeles will ultimately cause the company to expand its client base significantly and be able to reach other potential Internet savvy entities in the L.A. area such as the Motion Picture and Film Industry, New Media Industry, Universities, Downtown L.A., Hollywood, The Westside, Santa Monica and the entire San Fernando Valley. The level of growth is estimated to be significant. About Worldwide Wireless Networks Worldwide Wireless Networks is an integrated wireless communications company headquartered in Orange, California.
