The Wait is Over for High-Speed Internet Access in the Scottsdale Airpark


PriorityIP™ Communications, the broadband Internet division of Renaissance
Networking Inc., has announced that it is accepting new subscribers in the
Scottsdale Airpark area, effective immediately.

RNi’s president and CEO, Jeff Clark, announced that the firm placed high
priority on the Airpark in light of a recent study which indicated that less
than 50% of business owners in the area consider the telecommunications
infrastructure adequate to support business needs.

“When you combine a lack of infrastructure to support broadband connectivity
with the fact that over 45% of Scottsdale Airpark businesses report buying
over the Internet and nearly 35% report selling over the Internet, the
economic sense of urgency becomes quite clear,” according to Clark.

The competitive breakthrough results from an alliance with an Airpark
corporation that provides PriorityIP™ with a transmission platform for
servicing business subscribers with guaranteed wireless broadband Internet
services. Services offered in the market will range from 192K to multiple T1
speeds.

According to Clark, “Our technical capability to accommodate new subscribers
in this market is really limitless, but because we will not compromise our
reputation for service and value, our subscriber growth will be responsibly
controlled.”

Founded in 1997, RNi also offers traditional hosting and connectivity
solutions to its clients in Arizona and nationwide, including v.90 dialup
Internet, ISDN and DSL.

The firm recently expanded in Tempe with a new 4000 square foot facility
that houses the wireless manufacturing and customer installation operations
of the PriorityIP™ Communications division.
