Vyyo Powers Teton Wireless Broadband Deployment to Country's Largest Rural Subscriber Base
21 March 2006 Vyyo Inc. (Nasdaq: VYYO), a global supplier of broadband access equipment for cable and private wireless broadband network solutions, today announced that deployment of its solution by Teton Wireless, the nation's largest rural provider of broadband wireless Internet access and video services, has exceeded the 8,000 household mark.
Teton Wireless, which operates within portions of Idaho and Montana, utilizes Vyyo's V2800 IP Broadband Hub and V280 Data Modems. Operating over licensed 2.5 GHz spectrum, Teton provides high-speed Internet services to unserved and underserved communities across a more than 15,000 square mile footprint.
"We are thrilled to enable high-speed Internet access for rural customers everywhere," said Davidi Gilo, Chairman and CEO of Vyyo. "Our technology addresses a significant market demand. By working with leading operators like Teton Wireless, Vyyo is bringing affordable, high-quality, highly-reliable data services to small markets that have no other broadband alternative."
"Despite the best efforts of cable and telecom providers, there continues to be significant areas where high-speed Internet simply is unavailable," said John Mansell, wireless broadband analyst for Kagan Research. "With its low- cost infrastructure requirements, fixed wireless has become a leading platform for bridging the 'digital divide.'"
"The challenge in any rural deployment is reaching thousands of customers that are widely dispersed across a very large area," said Gene Twiner, founder, president and CEO of Teton Wireless. "Vyyo solves this problem with a cost-effective solution that offers several clear advantages. First, because of the tremendous range of Vyyo's technology, we are able to service a large coverage area with only four transmission hubs. In addition, it is DOCSIS(R) based, which means that our customers are receiving the highest quality of service available anywhere."
Teton Wireless launched its broadband service in 2002 to create a competitive advantage against satellite providers, and deployed the Vyyo solution in 2003 based on superior results against alternative products. Teton's wireless packages are priced as low as $19.95 per month, and include higher-performance offerings for home users, gaming enthusiasts and home offices.
