Information Highway.com, Inc.
(the "Company")
For Immediate Release: February 6, 2001 – Vancouver, B.C. – Information Highway.com, Inc. (OTCBB:IHWY) is currently active in developing a wireless Internet access solution in Vancouver, B.C.
The new wireless technology passed the first phase of testing in January this year. The tests were able to achieve Internet access speeds 20 times faster than ordinary dial up service by using Information Highway’s wireless access service (iWAS) combined with the 2.4 GHz ISM portable antenna from IAS Communications, Inc. (OTCBB: IASCA). The Company’s Wireless Internet Service will leverage Information Highway’s high performance, IP network to enable mobile and dedicated access to the Internet.
Jason Roth, CIO, states “This service will allow businesses and residential users not to be confined by traditional physical limits while allowing them access to services such as corporate intranets, IP VPN’s, email, messaging systems and other e-business applications.”
The first location for the Wireless Internet Service is planned within the Greater Vancouver area. Information Highway.com, Inc. will begin broadcasting Wireless Internet from its facilities at the Harbour Centre Tower at 555 West Hastings Street. This location is ideal for the iWAS service as it currently overlooks an approximate population of 1,000,000 people.
