April 15, 2004 (Press Release) --
April 14, 2004 – Spokane, Washington. Ptera Wireless, a local broadband company with locations in Spokane, Spokane Valley, and Liberty Lake, announced today that it has completed the first phase of its network expansion and reliability improvement program designed to bring near 100% availability to businesses and other power users of the Internet in the Spokane area.
This network delivers high-speed, cost-effective and ultra-reliable broadband Internet access to over 100,000 potential residential and commercial clients in Spokane County. The expanded
network has three unique features:
1. It offers very high reliability through a redundant ring design;
2. It has multiple connections to the Internet; and
3. It uses state-of-the-art fiber optic, wired and wireless technologies
A ring design has at least two connections to the network at each critical point. This allows rapid switchover in the event of service interruption or component failure. Restoration of network connectivity usually occurs within a few seconds. The Ptera Wireless network is the first redundant wireless network in the Northwest. The network provides up to eight megabits per second (Mbps) throughput to the user and backbone speeds in excess of 50 Mbps.
Ptera Wireless provides Spokane businesses with a low-cost alternative to private local network connections such as point-to-point T1 lines. Doctor’s offices, technology firms, educational institutions, etc., will benefit by extending their networks to multiple locations without having to enter the public Internet.
Ptera is beginning a major marketing and sales campaign for the region, and is also seeking partners to help expand its reach to the small cities and towns in the surrounding areas.
