KANATA, ONTARIO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 16, 2007 -- BelAir Networks, the leading provider of
mobile broadband multi-service mesh networks, and Cheetah Wireless
Technologies, Inc. (CWTI) announced today the availability of high-speed
wireless access throughout Primm, Nevada. Primm Valley Casino Resorts is
the community's main attraction featuring three casinos, two golf courses
and the Desperado, one of the top ten rollercoasters in the U.S. Primm
hosts 400,000 visitors per year.
"In addition to the high quality of service and performance that BelAir
Networks offers, the system was also extremely easy to deploy. We were up
and running in our first phase within days," said Mitchell Gonzalez,
President and Founder of Cheetah Wireless Technologies. "We expect the
high ROI offered by the wireless network to both residents and visitors
will enable the network to pay for itself in only six months."
The wireless network in Primm currently covers all of the casinos and
hotels in the community including Primm Valley Resort & Casino, Buffalo
Bill's Resort & Casino, and Whiskey Pete's Hotel & Casino, providing
high-speed wireless Internet to over 2,600 rooms. Upon completion of the
Primm deployment, the wireless network will also serve a 300 unit
campground, several truck stops, an outlet mall, and two square miles of
ubiquitous outdoor coverage.
With thousands of wireless mesh nodes operating in more than 250
deployments worldwide, BelAir Networks wireless mesh products are
field-proven, delivering high-performance broadband services for both
municipal and hospitality applications. Cheetah Wireless chose to deploy
BelAir's product portfolio for their wireless network in Primm because of
its proven, cost-effective broadband performance and carrier-class
reliability.
