Ptera Wireless Internet acquires Icehouse wireless assets

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 3, 2003 -- Ptera Wireless Internet, a two-year old Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP) headquartered in Liberty Lake, Washington, today announced the acquisition of the wireless network division of Icehouse Net Services, an ISP based in Spokane, Washington. Under the agreement, Ptera agreed to assume Icehouse�s wireless operations in Spokane. Terms of the agreement were not released.

Acquisition by Ptera Wireless of Icehouse�s wireless services was finalized October 27, 2003. The transaction should result in a smooth transition for Icehouse�s wireless customer base to Ptera.



�We look forward to the opportunity to work with Icehouse, one of the major ISP�s in this area, and to expand Ptera into the largest Wireless Internet Service Provider in Eastern Washington, serving almost 300 customers. We will now be able to offer wireless service to much of Spokane County and into Idaho,� said Ptera Founder and CEO Jim Wilson.

�Ptera is focused on offering high-speed wireless connectivity to commercial and residential customers in Spokane County and in small communities and rural areas in the Northwest,� Wilson said. �Our new customers will benefit from our recent investments and our experience in implementing and managing wireless and fiber networks.�



Ptera strives for great customer service and reliable connections. The company�s broadband offerings compare favorably with cable and DSL solutions, and they offer free filtering for SPAM and inappropriate sites for children. Ptera supports many types of highly secure VPN�s, and provides set-up and maintenance services for home networks.



Look for Ptera Wireless hot zones coming to commercial locations in Spokane County during the next few months. A hot zone is a range of several hundred

feet where people with properly equipped laptops and personal digital assistants

(PDAs) can access the Internet without a wired connection or use of slower

cell-phone transmissions.
