SiriCOMM Network Technology Under Evaluation by Virginia Tech Transportation Institute

Network Solution to Impact State Intelligent Transportation Systems

JOPLIN, Mo., Sept. 5 -- SiriCOMM, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: SIRC) , an applications service provider and nationwide broadband wireless network operator serving the highway transportation industry, today announced that Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI) is evaluating the Company's network technology for use within state Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) solutions. A SiriCOMM network has been installed since early summer at VTTI's facility.

"VTTI is always looking for innovative technologies that have potential to impact ITS," said Dr. Aaron Schroeder, Director, Center for Technology Deployment at VTTI. "SiriCOMM's technology is an exciting solution capable of influencing many areas within state ITS programs. One area of particular interest is remote traffic management systems, which includes cameras and detectors to monitor traffic."

VTTI is developing a multi-hop Wi-Fi solution that would be used in place of fiber networks. States spend millions of dollars each year building or extending existing ITS infrastructure. This solution would enable continued growth at greatly reduced costs.

"VTTI will be testing the network's ability to integrate with our multi-hop solution. Successful results will enable our technology to be installed in even remote locations," added Schroeder.

SiriCOMM's network solution is an industry-leading convergence of IEEE 802.11 wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) networking and satellite communications. The technology combination creates a unique opportunity capable of serving any North American location with cost efficient, high-speed Internet access. The satellite channel utilizes patented and patent pending processes that make available higher than normal data transmission rates while reducing latency delays. The system is capable of transmitting data at up to 48 megabits per second (mbps) and has response times that typically are one-third less than that of traditional satellite data solutions.

SiriCOMM's high-speed satellite data service delivers key advantages, e.g. location, throughput and cost, over conventional Wi-Fi hot spots. The primary benefit is that a hot spot can be set up virtually anywhere. Location is no longer determined based on access to communication services. In addition, the high data rate alleviates network congestion problems. Typically, Wi-Fi networks are serviced by T1, which provides 1.544 mbps throughput. Those connections become major bottlenecks to 11-mbps (802.11b) or 54-mbps (802.11a,g) wireless radios. Furthermore, SiriCOMM's satellite-based Wi-Fi hot spots are on average less expensive to operate than those serviced by T1.

"We are excited to be working with VTTI and anticipate many successful outcomes. Our network is an ideal solution for remote traffic monitoring and communications systems," said Kory Dillman, SiriCOMM executive vice president and chief information officer. "The satellite backhaul makes possible cost efficient broadband communications in locations that typically would be difficult to service with traditional land-based solutions."
