Wireless MAN based on ATM and IP, Borrowed from the ARTT thread, posted by Mark Lewin: ------------- ART Broadband Network Combined With High Speed Internet Connectivity Means Better Performance for Seattle ART Customers SEATTLE and BELLEVUE, Wash., July 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced Radio Telecom Corp. (ART) announced today that it has chosen InterNAP Network Services Corporation as its entry point to the internet backbones in Seattle. ART is building a high-speed metropolitan network based on Internet Protocol (IP) and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). By combining fixed-wireless and fiber technologies, ART is able to bypass legacy networks and deliver broadband communication services directly to business customers at their premises. InterNAP, a Seattle-based high performance Internet connectivity and IP route brokerage company, will provide ART with proprietary high-speed Internet backbone connectivity and patent-pending P-NAP(SM) routing technology. InterNAP's P-NAP(SM) connectivity ensures "direct delivery" routing of all customer traffic directly to and from each of the major Internet backbones. Traffic takes a shorter, more direct path across backbones and bypasses indirect routing and public exchange "choke points" that typically impede Internet performance. "With ART's ability to deliver high-speed capacity directly to the business premise and InterNAP's high performance Internet transit, our off-fiber business customers will enjoy unparalleled Internet performance," said Henry C. Hirsch, ART chairman, president and CEO. "InterNAP is pleased to be working with ART, whose mission-critical Internet backbone connectivity needs will be best served by the high-performance, route-optimizing effect of our P-NAP(SM) technology," said Tony Naughtin, InterNAP president and CEO. Founded in May 1996, Seattle-based InterNAP Network Services provides high-speed Internet connectivity and patent-pending P-NAP(SM) routing technology that ensures the most optimal, symmetric routing of all customer traffic directly to and from each of the major Internet backbones. ART joins the growing list of InterNAP customers that include Adobe (NASDAQ:ADBE), Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN), Datek Online, Go2net (NASDAQ:GNET), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Nordstrom (NASDAQ:NOBE), as well as numerous Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in the United States and Canada. InterNAP's Web site address is internap.com.
