WI-VOD : Our Philosophy

• Broadening Your Community

Our MobileSOHO (Mobile Small Office, Home Office) solution focuses on those that are desperately underserved; the continent's highly transient, mobile professionals and rural communities. WI-FI has been used in so many places as a "convenience" service, enabling people to take short-term advantage of connectivity when they find a "hotspot" operating at a place they are visiting. Big city coffee shops, airports and hotels usually have great broadband services. But rural communities, folks with big rigs, mobile homes and RV owners struggle with a lack of service options. WI-VOD's MobileSOHO is about enabling people that have a highly mobile lifestyle or are part of our continent's growing small office, home office community. Working with North America's truck stops and travel plazas, WI-VOD'S MobileSOHO will enable over 20 million mobile professionals and travelers to have access to a single, high-speed broadband service. And, since our venues aren't located in downtown urban centers, we'll leverage our unique technology to bring services to the surrounding underserved communities that are part of the millions of households that still do not have access to high-speed Internet Services.

Building our network of wireless service areas across North America enables our MobileSOHO solution to move forward at the pace technology. With wirelessly provided Internet access, VoIP (Voice Over IP), Video On Demand, and data protection services, WI-VOD has a base of vital product offerings that will provide services to those that are severely underserved.

In a deployment sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security, we've successfully demonstrated true mobile access with sustained VoIP delivery at speeds over 75 mph on our test network stretching over a file mile piece of highway. Upon completion of the first network of its kind, WI-VOD's broadband highway will cover 32 miles of I-19, the "Canamex Corridor", in Southern Arizona. While the network is being sponsored to support enhanced broadband capabilities for First Responders, (including Police, Fire, EMS and Border Patrol), it will also be a shared infrastructure supporting residents, community groups, local government agencies, education and businesses.

The growing acceptance of VOIP as a communications method has certainly been significant and WI-VOD's business model takes advantage of the opportunity to extend this application to remote, strategically placed venues servicing mobile professionals and adjacent rural communities. The adoption rate of VOIP, as compared to the third quarter of 2003 sales of VOIP related hardware in the third quarter of this year rose 69% to $452US million. Furthermore it is suggested that revenues from VOIP related technology sales, not including subscription service fees, will grow to $4.8 billion in 2007, from $1.3 billion in 2003.
