First Avenue Networks Pioneers Wireless Carrier Ethernet Service For Government Sector; Company First to Market with $2,000 Per

First Avenue Networks (NASDAQ:FRNS), a fixed wireless
services provider, today announced Government Connection, its
flat-rate plan for Carrier Ethernet and existing transport services.
The plan is structured to provide Carrier Ethernet services up to 100
Mbps as well as NxDS-1, DS-3 or OC-3 connections to government
agencies and suppliers for $2,000 per month.
   To meet increasing data requirements and federal compliance
standards for physically diverse and redundant networks, government
agencies need the flexibility and capacity of services such as Carrier
Ethernet to future proof their networks. Estimates are that 85 percent
of the buildings in a given metro area do not have fiber access,
precluding the delivery of Carrier Ethernet and other high capacity
services.
   Offering government-grade connectivity over licensed spectrum at
high availability (99.995%), Government Connection provides agencies
and their suppliers with a simple plan for deploying primary and
redundant high capacity transport connections.
   "The government's requirement for broadband communications is
driven by the need for high availability and for the diverse routing
of critical information," said retired Lt. Gen. John B. Conaway,
chairman & CEO of the Conaway Group, and former Chief of the National
Guard Bureau. "Today, agencies are struggling to provide secure and
protected communication services while controlling their costs. The
market is ripe for a cost-effective fixed wireless offering with
government-grade services that enables an agency to meet these needs."
   "First Avenue Networks is revolutionizing the way government
agencies provide secure and highly available communications services
to their departments," said Mike Gallagher, president and CEO, First
Avenue Networks. "Government Connection's innovative, flat-rate
pricing positions First Avenue Networks as a market leader. We are
pioneering a new era of wireless communications by providing
government agencies and their suppliers with high capacity
fixed-wireless services. Our offering not only protects their existing
investments, but also enables them to easily and cost-effectively meet
their future requirements."
   Pending GSA Schedule approval, First Avenue Networks' Government
Connection is available throughout the U.S. Full service details are
