BEDMINSTER, NJ — September 29, 2003 — Verizon Wireless, operator of the nation’s largest and most reliable wireless network and a leader in the deployment of next generation technology solutions, today introduces BroadbandAccess – a broadband wireless data service powered by its third generation (3G) wide area 1xEVDO network. Beginning October 1, 2003, customers in Washington D.C. and San Diego can purchase BroadbandAccess to mirror their desktop environment while working remotely. The new service is part of the company’s VZOffice suite of wireless products and services for businesses.
Working with virtual private network (VPN) connections, data customers in both cities can use BroadbandAccess as an extension of their corporate local area network (LAN) or intranet, allowing them to work from any location within the BroadbandAccess coverage area, as if they were in the office. BroadbandAccess, with typical speeds of 300-500 kilobits per second (kbps), is ideal for downloading complex files and business-critical information residing behind corporate firewalls and for accessing email, intranets and the Internet. BroadbandAccess uses CDMA 1xEVDO technology that has its own data protection and authentication and is designed to work with a business’ existing IT infrastructure and security solutions. "
