Hi Everyone!  

Some of my blog readers have asked that I start posting more news about Towerstream on the blog, so I will be doing more of that in the future.  I think it’s the right time, as the WiMAX space is facing such a strong period of growth.

Yesterday we announced that Towerstream is now delivering WiMAX service to businesses in downtown Chicago, using the 802.16e BreezeMAX® 3650 solution from Alvarion (NASDAQ:ALVR).

The addition of mobile WiMAX equipment to our existing network in Chicago is significant to both Towerstream and its current/potential customers in the city for a number of reasons:

- We can now reach additional businesses in the city as mobile WiMAX provides non-line-of-site capabilities
- By incorporating certified mobile WiMAX equipment to our Chicago network, we are ensuring that our network is prepared for WiMAX’s continued evolution
- We are able to maximize WiMAX’s potential in terms of economies of scale, cost, coverage and enhanced services
- Customers will continue to receive the same fast, reliable, high-quality wireless broadband

If you’d like to read the full release, it’s available here.

We’re very excited about this news and I’d love to hear your feedback, so please feel free to leave me comments! 

Thanks,
