San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Santa Barbara, California, July 14, 2004 – In a prime example of entrepreneurial providers acting locally to overcome geographic and national barriers to connect globally, Neptuno Networks has passed a critical size benchmark that enables delivery of cost-effective, high-speed network services to a formerly “unwired” region that rival those available anywhere in the world. Axxcelera Broadband Wireless, a Moseley Wireless Solutions Group Company and recognized global leader providing broadband wireless communications products and technologies, announced today that Neptuno Networks, Inc., a service provider and a broadband integration services company, has installed its 3000th unit of Axxcelera’s AB-Access™ product into Neptuno’s own network and the networks of major carriers in the Caribbean. The largest installations are in Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, and Antigua. Other key locations are Anguilla, Barbados, Grenada, Jamaica, Monserrat, St. Lucia, and St. Marteen. 

The 3000-unit deployment gives Neptuno Networks a multinational wireless provisioning presence that rivals any global wireless deployment. Neptuno Networks’ reach is equivalent to between 30,000 and 110,000 square kilometers, given the AB-Access™ units’ aggregate coverage areas, the size of several U.S. states. “The size of our AB-Access deployment and our corporate commitment to custom service solutions give Neptuno Networks’ customers the ability to innovate within the Caribbean economy while benefiting from full access to the global economy,” said Pedro Andres, president and CEO of Neptuno Networks, Inc. “Thanks to the versatility of Axxcelera technology, Neptuno can add value in any scenario presented by our end-use customer base that includes leading Internet service providers, CLECs, and traditional major telecommunications carriers. We see the Caribbean market as driving discovery of new benefits from this technology, not just matching the global economy’s technology applications.”  Neptuno plans to extend its deployment of Axxcelera units to all islands in the Caribbean, merge new voice and video technologies with the existing networks to leverage the unit’s capabilities, and start positioning the networks for the new generation of WiMAX radios that will be coming soon. “It is key to our long-term strategy that Axxcelera is a principal member of the group setting WiMAX industry standards,” noted Pedro Andres.

Neptuno Networks’ services range from high-speed point-to-multipoint wireless broadband links of over 11 km to cellular infrastructure carrier point-to-point T1/E1 solutions. Neptuno’s customers range from small and mid-size companies to government agencies, educational institutions, major banks, insurance companies, health institutions, VARs, and telecommunication carriers, all using capabilities of Axxcelera products to deploy effective networking solutions.

"It's rewarding to be part of this historic provisioning of high-speed information access an entire region and to be associated with and outstanding partner such as Neptuno Networks," said Jerry Kollmann, Axxcelera's senior vice president of Worldwide Sales, Marketing, and Customer Support.
