[ this release makes some unusual claims, the most obvious of which being related to the method of in-building distribution ...]
MIDDLETOWN, R.I., April 29 -- Towerstream a leading fixed WiMAX service provider, today announced it will be powering one of New York City's landmark skyscrapers with building-wide access to its high-speed, wireless broadband solution. The 50-story building, which extends a full city block, will also serve as Towerstream's sixth point-of-presence (PoP) in its New York City wireless broadband network, extending broadband coverage to much of Manhattan's north side. The site is the first Towerstream-powered building to take full advantage of wireless gigabit broadband delivered directly from the company's rooftop equipment. Now, all building tenants can enjoy high quality wireless broadband at very low costs, giving them true redundancy and service reliability.
"By adding this skyscraper as a PoP in our network, we not only expand our coverage area to more businesses, but we now have a tremendous opportunity to fill a growing demand at that location for broadband access to all offices located on site," said Mel Yarbrough, Towerstream's Vice President of Sales. "This is the first time we have rolled out access in this way; we see it as a viable strategy for continuing to expand our customer base, particularly in densely populated business centers. Unlike legacy carriers and other providers we offer a reliable, cost effective and completely wireless broadband option, with no dependency on fiber or wirelines. With the pent-up demand already in place from northern Manhattan businesses, we expect to see immediate revenue as a result of this expansion."
Towerstream's customers have a range of bandwidth options to choose from, including T1, T3, 100 and 1000 Mbps connections as well as service reliability backed by an industry-leading Service Level Agreement (SLA) and a no-risk, money-back guarantee.
