COMPANY BACKGROUND

Founded in January 2004 by two widely acknowledged experts in the field of millimeter wave wireless technology, GigaBeam, based in Herndon, Virginia, is fast earning distinction as the Company with the solution to overcome the numerous impediments to pervasive high speed broadband delivery.

GigaBeam’s WiFiber® technology enables point-to-point wireless communications using very high radio frequencies (at 71-76 and 81-86 GHz) for multigigabit- per-second transmission of data, voice and video, enabling implementation of “Triple Play” services including HDTV.

Driven by the efforts of GigaBeam’s co-founders, on October 16, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) authorized commercial licensing rules for this very high frequency spectrum, creating the opportunity to bring WiFiber to market. These new ultra-high frequency bands are the only ones that allow wireless fiber-equivalent speeds with reliability similar to terrestrial fiber. WiFiber, by providing last mile access and backhaul, is complementary to both WiFi and WiMax. Users pay a nominal one-time fee for a point-to-point license that has a 10-year term. Licensing approval typically takes less than 24-hours.

OUR VISION

WiFiber® is an entirely new concept in point-to-point wireless technology. Our vision is to enable communications capacity delivery faster and less costly than previously possible.

With the addition of WiFiber to the nation’s information backbone, many customers will now have access to video/data/voice at prices once unimaginable. According to Cisco Systems’ exparte filing with the FCC (May 2003), less than 5% of the 750,000 commercial buildings in the United States have current access to fiber. The result has been a connectivity divide between the United States and numerous other countries. GigaBeam believes that widespread availability of high speed communications bandwidth will improve economic productivity, help close the digital divide, and improve the overall quality of life.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

“...GigaBeam’s WiFiber will enable us to address the rapidly growing high speed network demands of Dartmouth’s advanced information environment...Dartmouth, which maintains one of the most advanced university IT infrastructures in the country, has chosen GigaBeam’s innovative WiFiber solution.”
                       -Robert Johnson, Dir. of Telecom and Network Services, Dartmouth College

“...It was clear that GigaBeam's WiFiber solution will provide Boston University with the performance and availability our organization requires. By providing access diversity, GigaBeam's technology will protect the Medical School against construction mishaps and other disasters...it will also provide ten times the speed of our current fiber connection...effectively resulting in the terrestrial fiber becoming our back-up link.”
                       -Paul Sheehan, Director of Networks, Boston University Medical Center

WHITE PAPER

White Paper on WiMAX Backhaul at 70/80ghz

WiMAX promises to bring high-speed data connectivity to a wide coverage area, opening up ubiquitous internet access without costly investment in wire-line infrastructure. A lot of consideration has been given to the access portion of WiMAX  networks: the fixed and mobile specifications 802.16-2004 and 802.16e-2005 respectively have both been ratified; the first WiMAX certified fixed products are available and mobile products are expected in late 2006. The WiMAX Forum, an industry group of nearly 400 member companies, estimates that there are already more than 150 announced commercial trials and deployments of fixed WiMAX networks.
