New York, NY and Athens, Georgia, March 20, 2007 - Extricom, the designer and manufacturer of the award-winning Interference-Free™ Wireless LAN, today announced that the University of Georgia Athletic Association (UGAAA), the home of the Georgia Bulldogs, has selected Extricom's platform to provide wireless services throughout its extensive and state-of-the-art athletics facilities. The roll-out includes the Dan Magill Tennis Complex, in support of the NCAA Tennis Championships to be hosted there commencing May 11th, and Georgia's new Coliseum Training Facility, a 120,000 square foot practice annex for men's and women's basketball and gymnastics.

The elite athlete of today demands the finest facilities and equipment. It is essential that Georgia's facilities meet or exceed the expectations of prospective student-athletes, as well as the press corps attending all of the major events hosted by the UGAAA.

"Providing high-performance Wi-Fi at the Tennis Complex is a key element to creating the best possible experience for the over one hundred press personnel expected at this year's NCAA Championships," said Jeff Daniel, IT director of operations & infrastructure at UGA Athletics. "The performance of the Extricom WLAN is noticeably superior to all other technologies we researched. It enables us to deliver high-speed connections that are stable and consistent everywhere, free of the co-channel interference and other bandwidth-degrading effects of traditional WLAN technologies, which ultimately translates into satisfied, mobile users who are as confident in the wireless network as they are with a wired network."

Extricom's patented Interference-Free WLAN System represents the next generation of enterprise Wi-Fi, with a fundamental shift in architecture from "cell-planning" to a "channel blanket" topology. The technology eliminates the co-channel interference that plagues traditional WLAN systems, to deliver seamless and zero-latency mobility, robust, ‘wire-like' client connections, greatly increased capacity, and the ability to design for a guaranteed and predictable level of service for all users. All this, without the iterative and costly RF cell-planning of traditional solutions. The result is a high-performance yet simple solution for powering the enterprise triple play of data, voice (VoWLAN), and video.

With the Coliseum Training Facility, Georgia has set out to build the best practice facility in the NCAA. The complex will feature men's and women's basketball practice gyms, a gymnastics practice gym, new strength and conditioning facilities, and offices for coaches and staff. "The Extricom system is amazingly simple to deploy," commented Nate Tyson, CEO of Venture NetComm, the system integrator responsible for the installation. "It is remarkable that this wireless LAN technology achieves the levels of performance it does, while at the same time dramatically reducing the complexity of WLAN. This enables the UGAAA to deploy rapidly, without costly and time-consuming iterative RF cell planning, and makes ongoing maintenance equally efficient. The bottom line is that it simply works the first time. The University of Georgia has been, and will continue to be an important customer for Venture NetComm. We only provide and install first-rate products for all of their infrastructure needs. Extricom fits the needs of UGAAA perfectly."

Wireless connectivity, voice over Wi-Fi, and wireless electronic ticket scanning are among the applications envisioned for the new network. Beyond the tennis and training complex, the Extricom wireless LAN is slated to cover Sanford Stadium (football), Stegeman Coliseum (basketball), and Foley Field (baseball).

"Building a large scale wireless LAN with the traditional cell-based topologies has presented both complexity and performance obstacles," said Dan Kirtchuk, executive vice-president of sales and marketing at Extricom. "The UGA Athletic Association sets a high standard that must be met, and they recognized that the Extricom solution is the only one that could truly maximize the Wi-Fi experience for administration, students, and visitors alike. The new WLAN network brings Georgia Athletics into a new era of Wi-Fi, in which all facets of performance – coverage, capacity, mobility, and security – are maximized, ready to support the wireless triple play of voice, data, and video, all with a fraction of the complexity and ongoing maintenance costs of alternative technologies."
