UPDATES FROM HS4U
HS4U
DROPS SPUTNIK AND GOES PRONTO
As of the 5th of November 2005
Hispeed4U has said good-by to what was a nightmare
since we began our Wireless Roaming network in 2003. The
type of business model we have developed for Wireless
Roaming within our community and also in territories
outside our community was the main focus of
HiSpeed4U . To accomplish our plan we looked for
the best solution for billing and authentication we could
afford for Wireless Roaming. That solution was from the
SPUTNIK Corp. Their device along with the software they
developed with input from HiSpeed4U seemed like
the answer to the plan we had put into place. After about a
year and a half of nothing but problems with the SPUTNIK
solution we decided to move into a much more reliable
solution. HiSpeed4U and the Pronto Network/iPass
solution has now been deployed in all of our Wi-Fi HOT ZONE
locations and we are happy to report 100% up time. We are
now able to focus on the growth of our company and not
repeated outages because of inferior hardware and software.
In the last month and a half we have seen a 100% increase
in revenues and a savings in the time that our technicians
don't have to spend dealing with devices that always
required a manual reboot. This strategic alliance with
Pronto/iPass has moved HiSpeed4U into a position
of providing an International Roaming solution. BP America
discovered the HiSpeed4U Roaming Network in the La
Plata County area in Colorado. This was something their
company might be able to use if it was secured. They
contacted Pronto and Pronto contacted HiSpeed4U and
recommended the Pronto/iPass secured network solution.
HiSpeed4U
now has the Pronto/iPass solution. Now any Pronto/iPass
subscriber can log-on to the HS4U network and
receive and transmit without worrying about security.
HS4U will be marketing to our subscribers the
Pronto/iPass solution for a true Wireless Roaming
experience.
HiSpeed4U
NETWORK IS STABLE
Wireless networks are the future for
communications and HiSpeed4U now has a stable
network with over 70 Access Points (AP's) covering a good
portion of La Plata County as well as a footprint over in
San Miguel County. We have focused on developing a
infrastructure that we can rely on and we have to thank our
Partners at FastTrack Communications and Mountain Village
Cable along with the customers we have for hanging in there
as we secured our network. Finding the right equipment and
the right staff to accomplish this task would make most
sane people wonder. We have built a 5.8 backbone with a 2.4
distribution system which seems to allow for a faster and
more secure network infrastructure.
IPARTNER PROGRAM
CONTINUES TO GROW
In 2003 when HiSpeed4U began to
deploy Wireless here in La Plata County we had been working
within the community to develop a Revenue Sharing program
that includes private investment by individuals who live
within our community. We are providing a service to what
the Wireless industry calls the Last Mile. This requires a
considerable investment of capitol and time. Through our
IPartner program we have found IPartner's who with a small
investment of capitol not only receive high speed broadband
Internet as our partner but also receive a percentage of
revenue generated by customers who buy service from the
Access Points HiSpeed4U deploys at their location
or in any territory they we decide needs our service. A 2-3
year return on investment for a minimal capitol investment
plus HiSpeed4U Internet service where only dial-up
exists. This has allowed us to expand our footprint to
cover over 500 square miles and growing larger every
day.
