RedMoon Inc. to Turn Town of Addison into Broadband Hot Zone
Mid-summer deployment will have this Texas city surfing the Web on the
Wi-Fi Wave using Tropos Networks MetroMeshTM technology
Plano, TX (March 23, 2005) RedMoon Inc., one of the nations leading
providers of mobile data network systems, today announced that the Town of
Addison has selected the company to provide city-wide broadband wireless
Internet access, creating the first completely digital wireless community
in Texas. Through strategic partnerships with leading equipment and service
providers, RedMoon expects to have its Wi-Fi MetroMesh network installed
and operational with services available to residential and commercial
customers by mid-summer 2005.
While a number of cities have been aggressively working toward providing
similar solutions, Addison is positioned to be one of the first wireless
communities across the nation. RedMoon has partnered with Tropos Networks
to deliver the MetroMesh metro-scale Wi-Fi mesh networking system, Airpath
Wireless for centralized network and end user provisioning and global
roaming capabilities and Trango Broadband Wireless as its
point-to-multipoint wireless equipment solutions provider in order to make
this a reality.
RedMoon was selected for this significant undertaking because of its
experience and proven ability to deliver comprehensive wireless solutions,
said Hamid Khaleghipour, director of information technology for Addison.
Being able to provide broadband wireless services to our residential and
corporate citizens, as well as our visitors is aligned with Addisons
commitment toward being a technologically progressive community.
Through its vital partnerships, RedMoon can expand the reach of traditional
wireless networks to extend miles rather than feet, which was the case in
the past, by using a Tropos MetroMesh system. With RedMoons services,
Addisons more that 100,000 citizens and daily visitors will enjoy wireless
access from their homes, cars, restaurants and community parks. The Airpath
solution also enables roaming for subscribers so they have access to a
global footprint outside of Addison.
Addison is the ideal community for RedMoon to launch its first
large-scale, fully functional wireless broadband community, said Bryan
Thompson, president of RedMoon. Weve found that consumers are favorably
positioned to move toward more integrated wireless solutions, and RedMoon
provides a level of flexibility and value that you just cant get from
other competitive solutions on the market today.
The franchise relationship between Addison and RedMoon will be
revenue-sharing based, with RedMoon having right-of-way access to build a
city-wide mesh network. Once the network is fully operational this summer,
roaming users can subscribe for as little as $5.95 an hour. RedMoon also
offers low daily and monthly rates. A customized Web portal with pricing
for the Addison network will be available prior to network deployment.
