Austin, TX - March 16th, 2011
Alpha Omega Wireless, Inc. ("AO Wireless") installed a 150Mbps wireless Ethernet Bridge at SXSW that allowed NPR to broadcast world wide a live concert event at the famous Stubb's outdoor venue. The concert event featured bands like, James Blake and the legendary Duran Duran.
President Joe Wargo says, "We were asked just hours before the show to install a wireless backhaul from SXSW's wireless network, which we installed around Austin for the music feastival, to the famous Stubb's venue. Within hours NPR was to braodcast a live stream of the concert on the internet. Appearently, all the major carriers servicing Austin couldn't deliver even with weeks notice. We were able to install a 150Mbps point to point wireless Ethernet bridge within two hours.
Everyone at the event was blown away with the speed of the install and mostly the speed of the uplink we provided. With minutes to spare the wireless backhaul link was handed off to NPR. We felt like we were a NASCAR pit crew more than a wireless integrator.
It was amazing to be able to watch the live event from home later that night. The video and sound was flawless. We were proud to see the fruits of our labor and to see NPR's event turn out so great. "

Austin, TX - March 16th, 2011
Alpha Omega Wireless, Inc., with newly expanded service coverage in TX, was brought in by SXSW to help expand their gigabit internet bandwidth pipe to multiple venues around Austin for the 25th Annual SXSW Film and Music Festival.
President Joe Wargo says, "We were excited to be asked by SXSW to help solve some of their bandwidth problems. SXSW really goes out of their way to make the entire SXSW Festival an amazing event for all who attend. Over the years they have seen a huge increase in demand for internet bandwidth by its participants. Most everyone is carrying an IP enabled wireless device. SXSW just couldn't rely on the carriers to provide the bandwidth that's being demanded.
We were able to deploy carrier grade point to point microwave links to several large venues allowing SXSW to provide bandwdith where they needed it most. For this project we used a combination of high capacity radio systems like SAF 24GHz Lumina radios and BridgeWave 60GHz radios. The advantage of these two frequency platforms was to help avoid interference. Plus they could be deployed immediately under FCC regulations.

April 15, 2010 - Alpha Omega Wireless, Inc. (http://www.aowireless.com) an Outdoor Wireless Integrator presented at Manteca Unified School District's, located in Manteca CA, "Planet Green Party." Manteca Unified School District ("MUSD") holds an annual event in celebration of Earth Day to have vendors come and demonstrate how various industries are becoming more environmentally friendly.
Alpha Omega Wireless ("AO Wireless") was asked to present to 2000 students on how
wireless backhaul,
point to point wireless bridge, technology can be considered a green technology. AO Wireless gave a presentation on the environmental impact differences between deploying other backhaul technologies, such as: copper and fiber, compared with doing a
wireless installation of a microwave link using a point to point Ethernet bridge (see "
Going Green with Solar Powered Wireless Backhaul" article at http://www.aowireless.com/blog/bid/38356/Going-Green-with-Solar-Powered-Wireless-Backhaul).
AO Wireless also demonstrated the low power consumption of using wireless backhaul and how wireless Ethernet bridge technology is environmentally safe (see "Is Wireless Safe? - The 5 Misconceptions - Part 4" at http://www.aowireless.com/blog/bid/35855/Is-Wireless-Safe-The-5-Misconceptions-Part-4).
The students had fun interacting by putting on tower safety climbing gear and being able to see and touch licensed microwave radios and antennas that they normally only see on towers in the distance.

April 12, 2010, Sacramento, CA - Alpha Omega Wireless, Inc. (http://www.aowirleless.com) announces its focus on utilizing the FCC's unlicensed wireless 24GHz frequency band for point to point wireless Ethernet bridge solutions. AO Wireless has chosen SAF Tehnika, an Eastern European manufacturer of point to point licensed microwave wireless radio systems, to resell and perform wireless installations in the United States.
President Joe Wargo says, "The 24GHz wireless spectrum band is an unlicensed frequency that is heavily underutilized in the United States. Like licensed microwave, a point to point wireless Ethernet bridge in the 24GHz unlicensed wireless band provides carrier grade wireless backhaul.The 24GHz wireless backhaul is ideal for point to point wireless bridges up to 2+ miles. With the SAF Tehnika CFIP Lumnia we can provide up to 360Mbps Full Duplex (720Mbps aggregate throughput) in areas where there is a lot of wireless interference. The unlicensed wireless 5.8GHz band is becoming heavily saturated and it's becoming difficult to deploy wireless Ethernet bridge links in many areas. Because the 24GHz band is unlicensed we can deploy wireless backhaul links in a day with out the need to wait for a FCC license.
There are many applications that need 100Mbps full duplex connectivity or greater. We also use millimeterwave 60GHz gigabit wireless radios for shorter applications, but not ever client needs gigabit wireless connections. The SAF Lumina allows us to perform a wireless installation of 100Mbps full duplex and can software upgrade the radios up to 360Mbps full duplex (720Mbps aggregate throughput) protecting the clients CAPEX investment."
