One Ring Networks To Rollout New WiMAX Service
And Provide the Atlanta Metro Market with New Wireless Offerings
ATLANTA (January 9, 2008)

One Ring Networks announced today that it will be launching WiMAX service in the Atlanta Metro area using licensed spectrum it was recently granted. The grant which gives One Ring access to 50Mhz of spectrum between 3650Mhz and 3700Mhz, has favorable propagation characteristics. WiMAX is a wireless technology which allows broad coverage with data-rich connectivity unlike Wi-Fi which is unlicensed and limited to small hot-spots. One Ring will couple this spectrum with WiMAX equipment to offer a wide array of wireless business offerings. By using the company's existing and extensive wireless infrastructure, the entire metropolitan Atlanta area and surrounding cities can expect to see new, economical, and innovative offerings as a result of the company’s WiMAX network.

One Ring has aggressive rollout plans that will bring WiMAX to all major Atlanta sub-markets in 2008. Additionally, the company has plans for a multi-market initiative to expand the reach of its services to businesses throughout select metropolitan markets. "Our new WiMAX offering will allow us to provide Atlanta businesses with a whole new value proposition," said Matt Liotta, CEO of One Ring Networks. "Businesses across metro Atlanta are increasingly discovering the limitations of T1s and the need for truly diverse telecommunication services."

In the United States, an estimated 2 percent of buildings have access to fiber. That means 98% of businesses don't have any access alternative. As a fiber and fixed-wireless provider, One Ring now has the infrastructure to offer access solutions to both large and small businesses regardless of their proximity to fiber. "Companies often struggle with business continuity issues related to their telecom infrastructure," said Kris Maher, Director of Sales for One Ring Networks. "Most businesses can't afford a fiber build and are excited to learn about a wireless solution." One Ring's deployment of WiMAX technology will emerge as an alternative broadband solution for a range of business services where deployment of landline-based technologies is cost prohibitive.
