Xanadoo Wireless High-Speed Internet Service Expands in Texas With Navini Networks

Posted on: Wednesday, 6 September 2006, 09:00 CDT

WICHITA FALLS, Texas, and RICHARDSON, Texas, Sept. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Xanadoo is pleased to announce the launch of its revolutionary new wireless high-speed Internet service in Wichita Falls, Texas using pre-mobile WiMAX 802.16e equipment from Navini Networks. Xanadoo Wireless High-Speed Internet delivers a portable, always-on Internet connection that is revolutionary in its simplicity and convenience. Xanadoo already has a successful deployment in Lubbock, TX and after Wichita Falls, is planning another expansion into Abilene, Texas.

"Xanadoo's revolutionary new wireless high-speed Internet service has been very successful," said Mark Pagon, chief executive officer of Xanadoo. "With our portable modem or laptop card, Xanadoo customers are no longer tied to their home or office and they maintain their Internet connection wherever they are throughout the day -- at home, in the office, in the classroom or at the coffee shop."

"Unlike DSL or cable modem services, Xanadoo has no complicated modem installations, annual contracts, additional landline or video service requirements, hidden fees or gimmicky promotional pricing schemes," continued Mr. Pagon. "Consumers like the simple service and pricing plans with no hidden charges or complicated contracts to sign as well as the experience of buying and activating their service like a cell phone!"

"Navini's Smart WiMAX(TM) solution offers a proven commercial system where the product and underlying economics allow them to compete head-to-head with incumbent wireline providers and deliver personal broadband," said Roger Dorf, president and chief executive officer of Navini Networks. "We're really excited about consumers experiencing personal broadband. We expect the demand for personal broadband to ramp up dramatically worldwide over the next 18 months, as evidenced by the recent announcement from Sprint Nextel."

Navini's platform offers a unique and proven portable wireless broadband network solution that provides NLOS coverage and easy plug-and-play activation, with a seamless upgrade path to 802.16e.
