InfoNet to Present "Deploying License-Free Wireless
Internet Access" Workshop in St. Louis, Missouri
Training Seminar Provides Real World Techniques on Building Broadband Wireless Networks
Chatsworth, Calif., May 22, 2002 – Wireless InfoNet, Inc., a leading broadband wireless training and consulting firm, today announced that it will present the next in its series of 2002 workshops, "Deploying License-Free Wireless Internet Access in the Real World," on Tuesday, July 9th at Clayton on the Park in St. Louis, Missouri. The eight-hour workshop costs $339 and includes breakfast, lunch, a set of notes, and spreadsheet tools. Enrollment is limited to 30 participants therefore advance registration is recommended. The Wireless InfoNet workshops are the only objective, vendor-independent, technology-independent real-world workshops available. The 2002 workshops neither advertise nor sell wireless products. They provide practical design and deployment techniques that have been proven in real-world wireless ISP (WISP) use. They address challenges (such as dealing with interference) that vendor-specific workshops don't even acknowledge. The workshops use a flexible format to address the both the needs of those new to broadband wireless as well as those who have already deployed systems. A two-way learning process is used that encourages attendees to participate by asking questions and providing feedback. Since May of 2001, this one-day workshop series has provided insight and training for over 600 people nationwide.
Increasingly, broadband wireless Internet access is being deployed by ISPs and service providers worldwide to provide reliable broadband service in geographical areas that have been ignored or are underserved by other wired broadband technologies such as DSL and cable modem service. License-free wireless technologies are attractive because they are cost-effective and allow the quick deployment of broadband Internet access. No FCC licensing is required; therefore service providers can avoid the process of biding on and purchasing licensed frequencies; a process that can be time consuming and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
This workshop series is designed to meet the needs of Internet Service Provider (ISP) owners, engineers, and technicians, Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs), Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs), Cable Operators, Independent Telephone Companies, Rural Utility Cooperatives, industry analysts, venture capitalists, students, and others that are involved in researching, designing, deploying, and providing broadband wireless Internet service using the license-free frequencies.
Jack Unger, Wireless InfoNet Founder and President, is the facilitator. Mr. Unger has designed, deployed, and supported hundreds of broadband wireless sites. He is the author of the new book “Deploying License-Free Wireless Wide Area Networks,” which will be published by Cisco Press during the second half of 2002.
