airBand Announces the Widespread Availability of Its Voice-over-IP Services in Phoenix; Solutions Level the Playing Field for Small and Mid-Sized Businesses

PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 15, 2004--airBand Communications announced today the widespread availability of its Voice-over-IP (VoIP) broadband services in the Phoenix market. With airBand's suite of VoIP and data solutions, small and mid-sized companies in Phoenix have a new ally in their search for innovative, affordable and reliable telecom services. airBand has already received an overwhelming response from its existing client base in Phoenix of more than 600 companies.


"For the majority of businesses, the features and benefits of a VoIP solution have remained out of their grasp," said Andrew Lombard, founder and chief executive officer at airBand. "Our advanced broadband solutions level the playing field, allowing clients to finally take advantage of the powerful voice and data services that have been deployed by many of the largest global business leaders."

airBand's VoIP offering is bundled with clients' dedicated wireless data solutions or as part of an "up to" 1.5M service. Where possible, airBand offers redundant, dual-path network access for businesses' voice and data services, providing protection against service interruption that can not be duplicated by other providers. Unlike competitors that rely solely on wired delivery, airBand's dual-path delivery leverages both the company's fixed wireless network as well as wireline access to ensure unparalleled business continuity for its customers.

"Our ability to offer clients increased functionality, a lower monthly investment and dual-path redundancy has proven to be a powerful proposition that can not be matched for small and mid-sized businesses," said Karrie Rockwell, airBand's Director of Sales. "In particular, clients value the fact that we offer multiple solutions that can easily scale as their needs change, whether they initially want to leverage their existing phone system, migrate to a managed VoIP service or a combination of both - we do it all."

airBand is making the virtual office a reality for clients and providing end users with greater control over how they communicate. This flexibility enables users to make and receive calls in the office, at home or anywhere in the world, from an infinite number of devices, including their wireless or Cisco IP phone, or even their laptops. All they need is a broadband connection and they are as accessible as if they were working in their office.

airBand's solution also reduces clients' monthly investment with the benefit of a flat rate domestic long distance starting at only $0.049 per minute. airBand clients' also enjoy the benefits associated with free four-digit dialing between offices connected by airBand's service.

While airBand can integrate its service with clients' existing PBX equipment, many choose to eliminate the investment and challenges associated in the management and maintenance of on-premise equipment and utilize airBand's managed VoIP solution that works with Cisco IP phones. As a result, they can take advantage of all of the software and hardware upgrades that airBand makes on its network without expending any effort.

3G profitability threatened by Public Wireless LAN competition, says Analysys
3G could displace Public WLAN, offering near-ubiquitous higher-speed Internet/intranet services
3G capacity and cost limitations require control of usage and careful pricing
3G tariffs offering unlimited usage may devastate margins
Integrated 3G/WLAN services can avoid filling 3G networks with low-margin traffic
3G operators must avoid common pricing across 3G and WLAN services
Report examines 3G, Public WLAN and integrated services and identifies optimum approaches for offering Internet/intranet services


CAMBRIDGE, UK, 15 September 2004 - Public WLAN has so far made the running with high-speed wireless Internet/intranet services, with 2.5G technology dogged by capacity limitations, inadequate throughputs and high costs. 3G could potentially displace Public WLAN services, by finally allowing mobile operators to offer these services on a near-ubiquitous basis. However, mobile operators should proceed with great caution according to a new report, Delivering High-speed Mobile Internet/Intranet Services: the role for 3G and public WLAN, from Analysys, the global advisers on telecoms, IT and media (http://research.analysys.com).


An increasing number of 3G operators are launching high-speed services with datacards to meet demand from business users for mobile email and Internet/intranet access. In their haste to kick-start 3G revenues, some operators are embarking on radical strategies. Some are offering 'all you can eat' packages or attempting to replicate WLAN pricing, while others are offering 3G services in the home, in an attempt to displace fixed (for example, xDSL) services. The report warns that such strategies may damage the economic prospects for 3G at an early stage of its development.


"While 3G offers substantial throughput, capacity and cost advantages over 2.5G technology, operators must avoid pushing 3G beyond its limits," says report co-author Alastair Brydon. "Head-to-head competition with xDSL or PWLAN could kill profitability. Such strategies may fill 3G networks with low-margin Internet traffic, leaving no space for more profitable services, such as voice telephony, small-screen messaging and video content."


Rather than competing with alternative services, mobile operators need to find a more profitable way of co-existing with them. "Some operators are taking an early lead in integrating PWLAN and 3G services, to achieve the best of both worlds," says Brydon. "This may give higher 3G margins, avoid network congestion and allow mobile operators to control the emerging PWLAN hotspot market."
The report claims that operators must exploit the unique benefits of 3G, for example offering attractively priced always-on email services on a near-ubiquitous basis, while providing the glue that connects and controls PWLAN services, perhaps notifying users of the location of the nearest hotspot if they need to make intensive downloads.


The report also highlights a number of pricing pitfalls, identified from analysis of 3G, PWLAN and integrated 3G/PWLAN services worldwide. Operators moving away from volume-based 3G charging are taking a big risk, according to report co-author Mark Heath. "Several operators are experimenting with time-based and unlimited-usage tariffs. Such schemes may be simpler for users, but they inevitably jeopardize revenue per Mbyte, and hence profitability."


"Some mobile operators are now trying to strengthen their new integrated 3G/PWLAN offerings with common pricing across both technologies," says Heath. "Unfortunately, common pricing can result in the worst of both worlds - being uncompetitive with independent PWLAN services while generating unacceptably low revenue per Mbyte on 3G networks."


Delivering High-speed Mobile Internet/Intranet Services: the role for 3G and public WLAN assesses 3G and WLAN services worldwide and evaluates the diverse technology and pricing approaches for high-speed wireless Internet/intranet services. The report discusses the key attributes of 3G and PWLAN and identifies optimal implementation and marketing strategies for each. Pricing models and case studies are used to illustrate the serious pitfalls that affect operators.


The report is available to purchase online at http://research.analysys.com/store/ priced at GBP1700. For more information, telephone Analysys on +44 (0) 1223 460600 or email research@analysys.com.

Baracoda and Cathexis Announce the Beta Launch of the First Handheld Bluetooth RFID Reader.

New York,

September 8, 2004

Cathexis Innovations, Inc., a leader in RFID-enabling technologies and Baracoda Inc., the leader in Bluetooth wireless technology, announced today that they have developed the beta version of the first handheld Bluetooth 13.56MHz RFID Reader, dubbed IDBlue™.

Unlike typical RFID handhelds readers, this “pen-type” design is revolutionary because of its size (small and lightweight), ease of use, flexibility (compatible with PDAs, PCs, etc), and is ideal for applications requiring pinpoint accuracy reading—a feature that is currently not possible with most RFID on the market today. In addition, the IDBlue Bluetooth Reader is one of the first to harness the power of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification).

Though a horizontal technology, suitable for most industries, IDBlue is gaining particular attention in the health care, military and retail sectors for applications as diverse as inventory management, supply chain, maintenance management and document tracking. Cathexis partnered with Baracoda to develop this next-generation Bluetooth RFID-model. As Steve Taylor, CEO of Cathexis explains, “When I saw how Baracoda implemented Bluetooth into their other wireless mobility solutions, I knew we’d be a great team. By bringing both our strengths together, we created something revolutionary that all businesses could benefit from.” The two companies are the first to create a Bluetooth reader that gives wireless freedom by eliminating the need for a wired connection between RFID reader and the central database. Alex Guillot, Managing Director of Baracoda explains, “We're very excited about the capabilities of the Bluetooth RFID Reader. Its implications are huge for businesses. We believe our partnership with Cathexis will result not only in a lot more innovative products, but real solutions that will enable our users to increase efficiency and their bottom line.

Because in today’s business world, technology is the key to streamlining processes, improving reach and increasing value. And we can provide the solutions to achieve that".

Cathexis will present IDBlue and all its features at the Frontline Convention, at Baracoda’s booth (# 1101), in Chicago, September 13-15.
