Press Release from WaveRider

11 more Michigan communities go wireless with WaveRider

Internet 2000 brings non-line-of-sight wireless broadband to thousands of subscribers

September 2003
TORONTO - WAVC

TORONTO, September 23, 2003 – WaveRider Communications Inc. (OTC BB: WAVC), the leader in non-line-of-sight wireless broadband technology and deployments, today announced its non-line-of-sight (NLOS) Last Mile Solution® system has been deployed by Internet 2000, a regional broadband and dial-up Internet Service Provider, to expand its network into 11 communities in Michigan.

 

Internet 2000 embarked on an ambitious roll out plan after the success of its first WaveRider non-line-of-sight (NLOS) deployment in Rogers City, Michigan now one of Internet 2000’s largest customer areas. The success of the initial WaveRider deployment prompted the company to roll out in 10 more Michigan communities, including: Atlanta, Bangor, Coloma, Houghton Lake, Lawton, New Buffalo, Onaway, Prudenville and Watervilet. With additional rollouts planned for this year, Internet 2000 is making wireless broadband accessible to thousands of subscribers.

 

“WaveRider’s non-line-of-sight solution has opened up new markets and opportunities for us,” said Mark Reisch, Wireless Sales and Engineering Manager, Internet 2000. “The simplicity, ease of use and cost-effective nature of WaveRider’s NLOS solution enabled us to capture residential markets that previously had no access to broadband services.”

 

“We’ve also been able to offer wireless broadband technology to more communities and work with local governments, which see broadband as a critical component in attracting and retaining business," added Reisch. “By expanding our customer base of regional businesses and entering the residential market, we’ve already experienced a 25 per cent increase in our subscriber base."

 

"We believe Internet 2000 has tremendous growth potential," said Charles Brown, Executive Vice President, WaveRider Communications Inc. "They have quickly established a significant footprint in the business and residential broadband market, increased their revenue stream, expanded their networks, and offer competitive prices for broadband services."
