Selection of Network Technology Provider
Pacific Wireless rapidly rolls out Wireless IP infrastructure across Australia

Melbourne, August 7, 2000 - Decisions to aim for an ultra-reliable service in wireless broadband technology are paying off for Pacific Wireless, an Australian telecommunications provider.

Pacific Wireless selected Enterasys as its network technology supplier, in a million-dollar deal over several years, and commenced rollout of a new network, including SmartSwitch Routers and wireless RoamAboutTM in November 1999.

The company looked at many suppliers, with the simple criteria of needing a state-of-the-art product with high capacity at a price point that would make the service affordable to its clients.

Pacific Wireless offers high-speed Internet gateway connections, Virtual Private Network (VPN) and fully managed Wide Area Network (WAN) solutions to businesses, educational institutions and Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Their wireless network provides last-mile solutions both in city and rural areas.

Services begin where ISDN and traditional WAN services leave off. Pacific Wireless can deliver local access from hub speeds of 256k to 10 Mbps, and point-to-point access up to 30 Mbps per second.
