WiFiRV Offers Profit Sharing Program for RV Park Owners

Westport, CT November 20, 2009 -- WiFiRV, a 7-year-old Internet service provider for the RV, campground, and resort industry, has created an innovative way for park owners to generate a new source of revenue by offering wireless WiFi Internet, a standard amenity expected by their patrons. This is a departure from traditional RV park, campground, and resort wireless WiFi Internet options that can cost park owners as much as $2,500 a month for WiFi service.

"We're the only wireless WiFi Internet service provider in the RV industry that has 70% of our RV resort, park, and campground amenities generating income for property owners," said John Michael Borg II, WiFiRV's Founder and CEO. "Most property owners have bought into to the concept that other providers sell; namely, that wireless WiFi Internet is a necessary-but-evil expense. WiFiRV is here to prove that's not the case!"

"We're the only wireless WiFi Internet service provider in the RV industry that has 70% of our RV resort, park, and campground amenities generating income for property owners," said John Michael Borg, WiFiRV's Founder & CEO.

Borg said that the major difference between WiFiRV and other Internet providers servicing the RV industry is that WiFiRV pays property owners for access to their properties, while alternative providers typically require owners to pay for equipment installation, maintenance, bandwidth, and technical support. "We’ve never believed that property owners should pay for wireless WiFi Internet; instead, they should be rewarded for their hard work to attract patrons we can service with our amenity. In the vast majority of cases, if a property qualifies for the WiFiRV amenity, it’s nearly guaranteed to be a profit center for the location...a new revenue source begins immediately."

WiFiRV is now accepting applications for RV park, campground, and resort owners to join their community of nationwide wireless WiFi Internet networks.

"RV Electrical Systems: A Basic Guide to Troubleshooting, Repairing and Improvement" covers both AC and DC electrical systems and is another must have. Excellent 12 volt coverage and the best source on 120 volt AC systems. If it's not covered in this book, you can probably get along without it. The authors go into extraordinary detail without getting into engineering "lingo" and they tell you things nobody else does, and those things many authors assume you already know -- that you don't. RV Electrical Systems is available at Amazon.

What's next for Wi-Fi?

The recent formal approval of the IEEE 802.11n wireless standard marks not the end but the start of a wave of Wi-Fi innovation. In the next three to five years, the Wi-Fi experience will be very different from today.

The huge 11n performance jump -- to 300Mbps data rate and roughly 100M to 150Mbps throughput -- will become the basis for unwiring work and life to a much greater extent than ever before. You can picture it as a fast-growing archipelago of wireless connectivity, with access points becoming more prevalent, interlinked in meshed clusters, and able to cooperate far more closely with smarter Wi-Fi clients. Here we've focused on eight ways Wi-Fi will change for the better, enabling improved signal quality, more reliable connections, optimized bandwidth, increased battery life and stronger security.

AT&T To Offer New 3G LaptopConnect Device

DALLAS, Nov. 9-- AT&T* today announced a new 3G LaptopConnect device from Sierra Wireless, the AT&T USBConnect Lightning, will launch in retail stores, business channels and online nationwide beginning November 22. The Lightning delivers enhanced mobile broadband performance on the nation’s fastest 3G network for quick and easy Internet access while on the go. It will be compatible with AT&T’s High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) 7.2 technology, which provides a considerable speed boost to the 3G mobile broadband network where deployed.

For customers with the need to access email, the Internet and business applications from their laptop while away from home or work, the Lightning offers the perfect solution. AT&T 3G mobile broadband speed built into a small and elegant design that includes an illuminated face plate and USB hinge for use with different laptop designs provides an ideal mix of form and function. Connecting in more places is now even easier with AT&T’s global network compatibility and access to AT&T’s more than 20,000 Wi-Fi hotspots.

"The Lightning is a high-performing device compatible with our latest HSPA technology," said Michael Woodward, vice president, Mobile Phone Portfolio, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets. "As we continue our 3G network evolution, we are building a solid portfolio of HSPA 7.2 devices to meet the future needs of our customers."

With the upgrade to HSPA 7.2 technology, AT&T continues investments to deliver the nation’s fastest 3G network. AT&T plans for initial deployment of HSPA 7.2 in Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles and Miami by the end of the year. The company plans to deploy HSPA 7.2 in 25 of the nation’s 30 largest markets by the end of 2010, and to reach about 90 percent of its existing 3G network footprint with HSPA 7.2 by the end of 2011.

"The USBConnect Lightning offers an innovative, eye-catching lighted design with a swivel hinge for flexible use in horizontally or vertically oriented USB ports, and we are pleased to offer it exclusively to AT&T customers as the company deploys HSPA 7.2 coverage," said Dan Schieler, senior vice president of Worldwide Sales for Sierra Wireless. "People continue to expand their use of mobile broadband in their everyday routines wherever they are, and the evolution of the AT&T 3G network and devices like the USBConnect Lightning provide them with the flexibility and freedom to do so."

The Lightning comes pre-loaded with AT&T Communication Manager (ACM) 7.0 software to help customers manage their connections. The newly revamped Communication Manager will automatically connect users to an AT&T Hot Spot at no cost on eligible rate plans when the application is running. Customers can also download the latest version of AT&T Communication Manager at www.att.com/communicationmanager. ACM 7.0 is compatible with Microsoft Windows 7.

AT&T DataConnect plans offer consumer, small business, and enterprise subscribers access to the nation’s fastest 3G mobile broadband network, along with access to more than 20,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots nationwide with eligible rate plans and Wi-Fi equipped laptops. Options include a 200 MB plan option for a newly reduced price of $35 per month or a 5GB plan for $60 per month.

The Lightning will be available at no cost after a $100 mail-in rebate with a DataConnect Plan of at least $35 a month. Pay $99.99 after two year agreement and receive a $100 AT&T Promotion Card. The device will be sold at AT&T retail stores nationwide, online.
