Franklin University Selects 5G Wireless
Solutions Equipment for Campus-Wide Broadband Wireless Networking
MARINA
DEL REY, Calif. – Sept. 22,
2005 – 5G Wireless Solutions,
Inc., an emerging leader in
the wireless broadband
industry and a portfolio
company of 5G Wireless
Communications, Inc. (OTCBB:FGWC
-
News), announced today
that Franklin University (http://www.franklin.edu/)
in Columbus, Ohio, has
chosen its new C-WAN(TM)
(Campus-Wide Area Network)
equipment package to provide
wireless broadband coverage
throughout selected outdoor
public spaces.
The
purchase was arranged and
will be implemented through
Springnet CC (http://www.springnet.cc/),
a Dayton, Ohio-based WISP
(Wireless Internet Service
Provider), one of 5G
Wireless' selected
Authorized Channel Partners.
5G
will provide rooftop Wi-Fi
base station units to create
a Wi-Fi HotZone(TM)
throughout some of the most
popular areas of the 14-acre
campus. The installation is
expected to expand over the
months ahead, with more and
more area, both outside and
in, being added to the
network. 5G equipment was
selected over competitive
offerings based upon its
lower overall TCO (Total
Cost of Ownership) profile.
Fewer base station units are
required, both indoors and
out, to deliver superior
coverage, thus reducing both
upfront capital equipment
expenses and ongoing
operating costs associated
with network administration
and maintenance.
Franklin is central Ohio's
leading educator of working
professionals, serving
nearly 10,000 students. The
university is one of the
more technologically
advanced in the nation and
was chosen by the U.S.
Department of Education to
participate in a pilot
program allowing unlimited
distance education students
to be eligible for financial
aid. It was also recently
selected by the U.S. Army to
participate in the delivery
of online education to
eligible enlisted soldiers
via eArmyU.
