Arcadian Networks to Offer Secure, Private, Broadband Wireless IP Networking Service Throughout State of Minnesota

Posted on: Monday, 16 October 2006, 15:00 CDT

NEW YORK, Oct. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Arcadian Networks, Inc., a privately held, mission-critical, wireless, telecommunications carrier, announced that its broadband wireless network currently covers fifty percent of the State of Minnesota. Companies with a need to monitor, command and control remote, dispersed assets (such as SCADA and telemetry equipment) in real-time from virtually anywhere across the Arcadian Networks service area may now leverage the Arcadian Network without the need to build their own private, wireless broadband network or re-develop internet protocol (IP) business applications.

As a wireless carrier, Arcadian Networks' turn-key solution consists of: * secure, licensed 700-megahertz spectrum guarantying a prioritized level of performance and a secure partitioned amount of bandwidth per customer * base station equipment needed to establish a secure broadband wireless IP-based network * customer premises equipment (CPE) modems and antennas to enable remote devices to communicate through the network from anywhere within the coverage area at various price-points * full range of professional services to design, build and manage the network * 24 x 7 state-of-the-art network operations center (NOC) to ensure high- level of customer satisfaction and service levels

The company's offering is designed to reduce operational costs and increase productivity by enabling real-time monitoring and control of operations, efficient field services, and mission-critical applications such as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP), automatic meter reading (AMR), physical and video surveillance and workforce management.

Industries that will use this network include electric and water utilities, as well as oil and gas, public safety, mining, transportation, environmental companies and other businesses with dispersed critical infrastructure and assets. Often, when these industries build-out their own data networks in rural areas, they do not have access to a high-performance communications infrastructure due to cost or traditional telecommunications carrier ambivalence to service the needs of the mission-critical dispersed asset market.

"With our network becoming operational across the state of Minnesota, organizations can now establish a private, mission-critical, high-performance, wireless, IP networking infrastructure at a fraction of the cost of building such a network themselves," said Gil Perez, president and chief executive officer, Arcadian Networks. "For a monthly subscription fee, Minnesota businesses can purchase Arcadian Networks' broadband wireless service and receive everything they need to communicate with any device, anywhere in the state -- including a CPE modem; secure, partitioned licensed spectrum; as well as complete installation, network operations services, and on-going support."

The Arcadian Networks service offers multiple network solutions based on a customer's needs and budget. Available solutions include:

* Remote Facility Networking: Turn-key broadband wireless commercial-grade communications for remote field offices or station. Bandwidth prioritization for mission-critical applications such as SCADA, AMR & Video Surveillance. * Dispersed Asset Networking: Device-level wireless Ethernet for real- time, remote asset command, control and monitoring. Also with, bandwidth prioritization for mission-critical devices such as SCADA & AMR.

"I'm extremely proud of the progress we've made over the past ninety days building out our network in Minnesota," said Gil. "With this milestone, we are now able to offer a new and unprecedented level of private, secure telecommunication service to any business in the state of Minnesota with the need to network remote or widely dispersed facilities or assets."
