WISP Networks is looking forward to its initial footprint in Broward County. The first true non Line-of-Sight wireless network will be deployed within the next 3 months in Broward County, Florida.

MIAMI, FLORIDA, October  10, 2003 - WISP Networks, the leader in non Line-of-sight wireless Internet connectivity for the South Florida region, announced today that its WiPOP™ last mile solution (LMS) will be deployed in parts of Broward County, to deliver high-speed Internet access to homes and business throughout xDSL deprived areas in Broward County. The service will be launched in strategic demographic areas under a non-compete exclusive joint venture agreement , and quickly expand to serve subscribers throughout the region.

With WISP Networks'  WiPOP™, WISP Networks  wireless network can deliver broadband services to subscribers in all areas, even those with heavy tree coverage, since the network does not require a clear sight-line between the company's antennas and the subscribers' sites. The WISP Networks  modem and indoor antenna can be easily installed by subscribers, which makes it faster and more cost-effective to connect new users to the network.

"WISP Networks is investing in significant upgrades to the entire networks infrastructure  that will give our businesses and residents access to the most advanced communications technologies," said Alvio Dominguez, Jr., President and Director, WISP Networks, Inc. "Our wireless broadband service is second to none and part of this initiative. We have now deployed the only wireless system available that can provide the level of service our customers  need."

WISP Networks is working with ApexDSL to upgrade its  entire telecommunications infrastructure, including the deployment of its wireless broadband network. ApexDSL specializes in the planning, engineering and installation of telecommunications solutions and has been selected to deploy WISP Networks WiPOP™  LMS systems in several cities in North America.

The first phase of the wireless broadband roll-out includes five WiPOP™ surrounding  business and residential areas, which have the combined capacity to serve more than 12,000 subscribers. When complete, the wireless network will make broadband service accessible throughout the region. The company's wireless service will be offered at a competitive pricing structure.

Non-line-of-sight advantages

"The Internet services that have been available  to date were simply not adequate to suit the needs of businesses or individual Internet users," said Vince Vazquez, Chief Operations Officer, WISP Networks. "As we roll out our WiPOP™  non-line-of-sight wireless network, all areas served will have access to fast, reliable, affordable broadband services."

"WISP Networks'  WiPOP™  product enables the  connection  of subscribers throughout entire communities. Other wireless systems are limited by the need for a direct line-of-sight between the base station and the subscribers' sites," said Tom Martin, President and founder of ApexDSL. "In areas  that have varying obstructions and beautiful tree coverage, line-of-sight connections are either not possible or not desirable because they would require large antennas at each subscriber site throughout the area. The WiPOP™  provides the non-line-of-sight connections needed, with the speed and reliability that business and residential subscribers demand, and without large antennas that can interfere with the enjoyment of the landscape."

WISP Networks' WiPOP™  delivers up to 2.0 Mbps throughput at a range of up to two miles, in non-line-of-sight conditions, with WISP Networks' indoor antennas. For installations using outdoor antennas, WISP Networks' WiPOP™ products delivers throughput speeds of 2.0 Mbps at a range of up to five miles, in non-line-of-sight conditions, and up to eight miles when there is a line-of-sight connection between the base station and subscriber antennas.
