UK-Based Telabria Deploys P-Com Radios to Provide Wireless Broadband Services in England CAMPBELL, Calif., March 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- P-Com, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: PCOM) , a worldwide provider of wireless telecom products and services, todayannounced that Telabria, a provider of wireless broadband networks in England, is deploying P-Com radios to deliver high-speed Internet access to rural portions of the country. Telabria is using P-Com's SPEEDLAN 9000, a family of broadband wireless routers featuring 128-bit AES encryption for mesh, star, and point-to-point deployment. SPEEDLAN, produced by P-Com's Wave Wireless Networking Division, is one of the few mesh solutions that is EU/ETSI compliant because of its ability to deliver maximum TX power of 20dBm/100mW at the antenna. "SPEEDLAN is a highly reliable solution that is fully compliant with EU power emission regulations, and which enables Telabria to offer a cost-effective alternative to fixed broadband to rural and remote regions of England," said Jim Baker, President and CEO of Telabria. "Leveraging P-Com's technology, Telabria is delivering community broadband networks to parts of England that cannot receive wireline broadband services, such as DSL or cable." By leveraging SPEEDLAN, Telabria is able to transform broadband connectivity into a comprehensive community network. As a result, Telabria subscribers can securely share resources on the mesh, such as printers, storage devices and neighborhood watch network video cameras, easily and reliably. Geoff Giese, Vice President and head of License Exempt Products for P-Com said: "A rapidly growing number of residents and businesses in England want broadband access, but today can't get it because of the physical limitations of DSL and cable service, while dial-up is unacceptably slow. By partnering with P-Com, Telabria is creating a powerful wireless infrastructure that can provide broadband services to virtually any portion of the country." SPEEDLAN helps deliver last mile connectivity for high-speed Internet and intranet access using outdoor fixed-wireless building-to-building solutions.
