Investor Relations
Since mid-2005, we have been executing a business plan to position NextPhase as a nationwide developer of WiMAX-ready networks and a provider of advanced wireless broadband connectivity solutions to businesses, public school systems, municipalities and other government agencies. With a mission to build a device-agnostic, WiMAX-ready, wireless broadband connectivity/content delivery platform serving all 48 contiguous U.S. states, using licensed WiMAX and LMDS spectrum bands, we offer fully-integrated solutions with the highest levels of reliability, security, flexibility, scalability and price-performance.
In addition, we recently secured licensed LMDS (Local Multipoint Distribution Service) spectrum on a 10 year lease agreement in 4 major cities. With this spectrum, we can more cost-effectively provide high-capacity connections and deliver our NextPhaseSM CONNECT family of high quality wireless broadband solutions that meet the demands of mobile and wire line voice, data, VoIP and video applications.
Also, we received a nationwide license to provide WiMAX wireless services in the newly released 3.65 GHz band (3650-3700 MHz), which was granted by the FCC in January 2008. Initial testing and deployment of the NextPhaseSM MAX.CONNECT WiMAX services is on schedule, and will commence roll-out in key Southern California markets.
We are actively engaged in designing, deploying and operating our own proprietary, nationwide WiMAX-ready wireless network, and offering next-generation broadband connectivity products and services to customers located primarily in secondary (non-metropolitan) U.S. markets.
NextPhase is executing a series of complementary business strategies to build and support a nationwide broadband wireless network based on WiMAX, a more powerful relative of Wi-Fi technology. Currently, we provide wireless coverage in California and Nevada and Internet Service Provider (ISP) coverage in 19 states throughout the country, with offices in California and New Jersey. NextPhase’s expanding wireless broadband network is currently one of only a few WiMAX-ready networks in the United States that is capable of delivering up to 1.0 Gbps of raw data.
We are extending our national wireless "footprint" by negotiating the deployment of network repeaters at strategic geographic locations throughout the country, as well as through strategic alliances and highly targeted acquisitions. By broadening our range of connectivity offerings to include DSL, T1, ATM, Frame Relay and Satellite circuits in addition to our wireless capabilities, we are also able to provide a full range of connectivity services to customers outside our physical "footprint" and are empowered to develop value-added redundancy and failover offerings by combining multiple best-of-breed technologies and bundling advanced service offerings.
