***FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE***
WIND WIRELESS AND MIKROTIK - HIGH IMPACT/LOW INVESTMENT
SPOKANE, WA December 27, 2004 - Wind Wireless, Inc. of Spokane, Washington announced the completion of their latest project, a free access wireless internet system that encompasses over 2,200 square miles. Often called WiFi Hotspots, these Internet access systems are often found at airports and coffee houses, allowing people with small radio cards in portable computers to use the Internet. The city of Spokane has been getting a lot of press coverage for a ten by ten block hotspot it built at a cost of $75,000. The Wind Wireless system uses Mikrotik equipment and the company spent under $30,000. The Wind system is capable of delivering speeds up to 4 megabits per second.
“We have a lot of control and tracking capabilities,” said Bob Kirkpatrick, Wind Wireless’ Chief of Technology. “Mikrotik allows us to have a lot more security and utility than anything else
out there. For price, utility, security and reliability you just can’t beat it.”
Wind Wireless uses Mikrotik routers exclusively throughout their ISP. “We don’t have Cisco anymore,” reports Wind President Chuck Myers. “You spend a lot and then find you still don’t have the capabilities we’re getting from Mikrotik.”
The Wind Wireless service uses 21 Mikrotik access point transmitters to provide coverage, offering speeds of up to 4 megabits per second. Using the 2.4-gigahertz license free band, the system is free of charge for all to use. Wind Wireless also distributes and supports Mikrotik equipment.
Since 1989, Wind Wireless, Inc. has provided consulting and web design, wired and wireless equipment, and turnkey systems to individuals, businesses and governments nationwide. For more information visit the company’s websites at www.windwireless.net and www.my-isp.info.
