DONOBi Enters $900 Million Wi-Fi Market
Wednesday January 19, 6:03 am ET Company to Provide Proprietary 'Hotspots' to Port of Bremerton BREMERTON, Wash., Jan. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DONOBi, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: DNOB - News), a specialized provider of integrated voice, data, and video services to businesses, multi-family properties, and consumers in underserved markets, announced today that it has entered into a five year contract with the Port of Bremerton to deliver high-speed wireless connectivity to the Port's facilities and customers, including an eventual 548 permanent moorage slips, 148 guest slips, and access for users in the surrounding area. The five-year contracts will create wireless 'Hotzones' at two separate Port facilities. The Hotzones are an expanded version of the popular Hotspots (or Wi-Fi), which allow customers to remotely access the Internet from laptop computers and other mobile devises based on a monthly subscription or on pay-per-day usage rates. This new $900 million corporate Wi-Fi market (according to Forbes Magazine) is expected to grow ten-fold over the next five years, as leading technology companies incorporate Wi-Fi chips into laptops and increasingly more handheld computers are being sold with Wi-Fi capability. "We are very pleased to provide this service to our customers. Our permanent tenants and visitors have come to expect the best in boating facilities, services, and customer support from our marinas," said Steve Slaton, the Director of Marine Facilities at the Port of Bremerton. "The availability of wireless broadband access from DONOBI will continue this tradition at the Port Orchard Marina now and at the expanded Bremerton Marina in the future." Bill Wright, DONOBi Chairman and CEO, said, "This activity with Hotspots in 2004 is just the tip of the iceberg. The Port of Bremerton contract provides us with a unique opportunity to showcase our provision of wireless and Wi-Fi. Our model of delivering broadband solutions in this rapidly growing industry creates an opportunity for unlimited potential into both new and existing markets. The Hotspot user is not limited to the business traveler, this market is quickly developing into a vehicle for daily use by every person with an electronic device, including cellular phones, PDA's, and laptops. Wireless solutions at venues such as this will be required by customers if they expect to compete in the future." DONOBi is a part of the Airpath Provider Alliance (APA) (www.airpath.com), and as part of the APA, DONOBi Hotspot customers are able to access over 3,500 wireless networks throughout the world.
