Canada's Smart Building Leader Selects EION for Wireless Fiber Extension

LibraPlus Enables Convergence for Tenants and Building Managers

OTTAWA, Canada - September 10, 2009 EION Inc., a manufacturer of broadband wireless products today announced that Building Technologies has deployed EION's LibraPlus 5845 Point-to-Point Wireless Bridge to extend the reach of their fiber connection to neighbouring apartment buildings that have services managed by Building Technologies. The wireless extension provides tenants of those buildings with high speed Internet Access, IP-Telephone and Web-based TV services.

Building Technologies is a new breed of independent service provider that is using IP based technologies to provide network services to tenants in office and apartment buildings. In addition to the IP based services it provides, Building Technologies offers solutions for HVAC management, building security and building access. Building Technologies' approach to systems integration is creating some of the most advanced and efficient buildings in North America.

"We are very pleased to be working with Building Technologies as they expand their smart building technologies to building owners and tenants across Canada," said Chris Beadle, Sr. VP Sales at EION Wireless. "The EION Wireless equipment is part of a solution that is lowering costs to tenants and increasing the services and value that a building owner can offer."

Because Building Technologies is able to aggregate the network for a variety of different services into a single backbone to the Tier 1 service provider, they can offer significant savings to the tenants in the buildings they manage.

"This project was a tremendous success, by choosing a wireless based solution we were able to provide our customers a huge improvement in the services offered. The business advantage to our company is superb; because the equipment is unlicensed we now own the entire network infrastructure and are not paying monthly fees to lease bandwidth from our competitors." Said Jason Cowan Building Technologies Inc. "The LibraPlus 5845 radios have exceeded our expectations and are delivering up to 27 Mbps of real traffic to our live network."

EION Wireless has developed a case study detailing this deployment that can be downloaded from the EION Wireless website .
