FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -------------------------- Of interest to editors and journalists covering: Arizona Business and Technology News Editors On October 15th AZSNAP (Arizona Scottsdale Network Airpark) Business Group Unveils Long-Awaited Internet Solution for Businesses in the Airpark SCOTTSDALE, AZ - (Send2Press Newswire) - Oct. 14, 2003 -- AZSNAP (Arizona Scottsdale Network Airpark) Business Group will launch its Internet solution to Airpark businesses on Wednesday, October 15th at their monthly Main Event to be held at Scottsdale Community College, Airpark Campus. The majority of the Scottsdale Airpark currently lacks infrastructure-builds that support business DSL (digital service lines) and cable internet service; leaving companies to struggle with slow dial-up (56Kbps)and ISDN (128Kbps) connections. Three months ago, AZSNAP began an initiative with Anthem-Partners of Phoenix to find affordable Internet connectivity for the small to mid-size businesses in the Scottsdale Airpark. AZSNAP's Internet program, Connectairpark.com, brings state-of-the-art, business-class wireless connectivity to AZSNAP member businesses with packages from $49.95 for 256Kbps to $195.00 for a 1Mbps Internet connection. In addition to wireless services, the AZSNAP program will provide product and pricing options of 20 different terrestrial Internet providers for traditional frame relay dedicated lines, voice/data solutions and network services. Many carriers have agreed to work with AZSNAP to provide special pricing, products and rebates to the organization's member business. "The objectives of the Connectairpark.com Program are to offer affordable broadband (256K+) solutions that fit the needs of Airpark businesses; to educate the business community on the technology and options now available; and to make it easy for businesses to compare and understand their options," states Karen Damiata, President of Anthem-Partners. "In keeping with these objectives AZSNAP and Anthem-Partners will launch Connectairpark.com through an educational session at the organization's October monthly event." Topics to be discussed will include "Internet Connectivity Options (wireless and terrestrial)," presented by Renaissance Networks (RNi) of Tempe; "Wireless Technologies Today," presented by TeleSpectra of Scottsdale; and "Wireless Security," presented by AirBand of Phoenix.
