Technology Enables Cost-Effective, High-Speed Internet Access over Ten-Mile Radius
CHICAGO, 04/06/2004 -- TowerStream, a leading fixed wireless Internet provider, announced the launch of its high-speed Internet access in the Chicago metropolitan area. From its Point-of-Presence (PoP) on top of the 1,100-foot Aon Center (formerly the Standard Oil Building) in downtown Chicago, TowerStream has established a Wireless Ring over the city, allowing businesses within a 10-mile radius of the PoP to receive reliable high-speed Internet access for a fraction of traditional costs. In addition to Chicago, TowerStream currently serves over 600 businesses in Boston, New York City and Providence/Newport.
TowerStream?s Chicago customers have a range of bandwidth options to choose from, including T1, T3, 100 Mbps connections and higher. Businesses receive an unprecedented level of reliability backed by an industry-leading Service Level Agreement (SLA) and a no-risk, money-back guarantee. TowerStream?s fixed wireless broadband network delivers high-speed Internet access supporting VoIP, bandwidth on demand, wireless redundancy, VPNs, disaster recovery, bundled data, and video services. Companies utilizing multiple appliances simultaneously, such as streaming video and VoIP, can prioritize their bandwidth to secure mission-critical activities.
?As the first carrier in the WiMAX Forum, TowerStream has played an integral role in developing and delivering the wireless features that will soon be an industry-wide standard,? said Philip Urso, Founder and CEO of TowerStream. ?The benefits of fixed wireless, coupled with TowerStream?s redundant network and low prices, are showing companies that the future of broadband is here today. Organizations in Chicago have demonstrated a considerable demand to end their reliance on the phone company for Internet access, and they finally have an outlet in TowerStream.?
New customers eager to get their company online can choose TowerStream?s Rapid Installation Program, which guarantees installation within 48 hours. In addition, TowerStream?s service comes at a much lower cost than the wireline networks of local telephone companies. TowerStream can offer lower prices because it has zero dependence on the phone company, and the savings are passed directly to TowerStream customers.
