Business Wire
Ricochet Networks, Inc., a wireless Internet service provider
(WISP) headquartered in Denver, Colorado and wholly owned
subsidiary of Terabeam, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRBM), today announced that
its portable wireless mesh network serving Denver�s greater
metropolitan area remained unaffected when blizzards buried the
city in snow, closing Denver International Airport, schools,
offices, and stores during the height of the recent holiday season.
The Ricochet� network, which has been operating since 2002 in both
the Denver and San Diego metropolitan areas, serves more than 9,000
municipal, residential, and business subscribers and covers over
500 square miles. The network is a patented Micro Cellular Data
Network providing high speed, wire-free Internet access that is
affordable, easy-to-access, and simple to use. Plans start as low
as $24.99 per month for basic Internet access and $27.99 per month
including email and web hosting. �We are extremely proud of our
ability to serve our subscribers without any network downtime
during the recent severe weather. Our robust network infrastructure
ensured that our Denver network stayed up-and-running even in the
extreme weather conditions,� said Judi Evans, President of Ricochet
Networks. �Due to our carrier-grade mesh architecture, we
encountered no operational issues, and we passed 30% more traffic
across the network we believe due to the volume of users who relied
on us as their single method of communication during the storms.�
