Global Wireless Data and Trio Teknologies Offer Cingular's
EDGE-Based Wireless Backup and Primary Connectivity Service to
Medium, Small Businesses ATLANTA, Sept. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Cingular
Wireless today announced that two leading national wireless
distributors, Global Wireless Data and Trio Teknologies, now are
offering Cingular's Wireless WAN Connectivity Service through their
respective national reseller networks. Combined, these distributors
represent more than 445 wireless agents and resellers across the
U.S. Cingular's Wireless WAN Connectivity Service, which provides a
truly diverse and secure backup or alternative to wireline data
connections, was the first commercially available solution of its
kind when launched in February 2005. Florida Power & Light
Company (FP&L) and American Medical Response (AMR) are among
the customers already using the service. Since its launch, Cingular
has concentrated on selling the service to large companies via its
direct sales team. The expansion of Wireless WAN Connectivity
Service to Cingular's indirect channel will enable the company to
effectively tap into the medium and small business markets with a
high-value, advanced wireless data service. "We've been successful
in selling the Wireless WAN Connectivity service to our larger
business customers and are now able to extend the benefits of truly
diverse wireless connectivity to smaller organizations," said
Charlie Bolton, vice president, Global and Strategic Sales,
Cingular Wireless. "Both Global Wireless Data and Trio Teknologies
have the experience and channel breadth necessary to address the
needs of the sizeable medium to small business markets and will
complement the activities of Cingular's direct B2B sales teams."
Both distributors are Cingular national wireless master dealers
with their own extensive networks of partners and sub-dealers. Each
also brings impressive wireless wide area network (WWAN) design and
deployment experience, plus dedicated WWAN market focus to the
table. Global Wireless Data has been a full-service wireless master
dealer for major telecom carriers since its founding in 1997.
Today, with over 230 authorized Cingular Wireless sub dealers,
Global Wireless Data has distribution relationships with leading
WWAN device manufacturers. Trio Teknologies provides complete
wireless solution fulfillment logistics to more than 215 Cingular
Wireless dealers nationwide. The company began providing mobile
data solutions, including installing rugged laptops, mounting
hardware and WWAN modems in police, fire and EMS vehicles in 1997.
TrioTek's expertise in deploying critical primary and redundant
network access for Public Safety coupled with a highly trained
dealer network provides a clear advantage for Cingular's WAN
Connectivity Service. Cingular's Wireless WAN Connectivity service
uses a wireless device at the edge of a company's IT network to
provide secure backup and primary wide area connectivity for
mission-critical data operations. The service leverages Cingular's
EDGE network which can deliver average speeds of 70-135kbps
(kilobits per second) and is available in more than 13,000 cities
and towns across the U.S. Using Cingular's Wireless WAN
Connectivity Service, customers have diverse and secure backup to
their wireline data connections should those be disabled by cable
cuts, weather or local access outages. The Wireless WAN
Connectivity Service also can be used by companies with remote or
temporary operations where there is no readily available wireline
access. Cingular Wireless works with more than 1,300 companies that
