Happy New Year.

Having mentioned Bangladesh, I forward to you for your amusement my
recent strivings up to Namche, Nepal to help connect up the Sherpas to
the Internet, and deliver distance learning to a small poor school in
Thame. Since the publicity on this I have been contacted by some in
Bangladesh seeking technical advice on how to do. Which advice I have
delivered online.=20

Customer Success Stories
=93Established Cybercafe on Mt. Everest Deploys smartBridges=94=20
Dave Hughes, veteran wireless technologist and owner of Old Colorado
City Communications, helped set up wireless Internet access, in the
remote village of Namche, Nepal at an altitude of 12000 ft. (3,657m).
Armed with carrier class and easy to deploy smartBridges wireless
equipment, the 75-year-old American donated and put in place the
infrastructure that spells a new world of exciting opportunities for
Namche.
<http://www.smartbridges.com/new_images/news8_namche1.jpg>=20
Dave Hughes and his Nepalese Helper
The wireless technology is good news for the thousands of international
climbers that pass the village on the way to Everest, who can now look
forward to keeping in touch with loved ones regularly. In addition to
this, the villagers are the ones who will benefit most from this
wireless technology. Communication within and beyond the village is only
an e-mail or Voice Over Internet telephone call away. Along with the
Internet also come opportunities in e-commerce and education. Already,
plans are underway to take advantage of the Internet access and IP
speaker phones to provide distance learning programs in English and
computer science for the students in Namche and the Thame School.
=93Those children are doomed to a life of poverty unless they get =
educated
and master the Net,=92=92 Hughes explained. =93This opens the world to =
them
and all of Namche.=94

=93TOTAL Carrier Class=94=20
It was a routine environment test for Karl Wall, President of Tracy
Internet, to choose a product for his wireless network. During the test
stage, Karl raised his airBridge TOTAL to the top of his new antenna
mast system, 36 feet (10 meters) above the ground. Before Karl had a
chance to test the device, strong wind blew the mast over.=20
This sent the airBridge TOTAL crashing 36 feet down onto a concrete
floor! At that moment, Karl knew he had to buy another product to test.
Nevertheless, he tried his luck and powered the fallen airBridge TOTAL.
To his surprise, he was still able to log on to the airBridge TOTAL and
got a Radio Frequency (RF) signal! Karl raised the airBridge TOTAL back
up the mast again and radio continued to work normally.=20
Karl was impressed with smartBridges=92 carrier class quality. He made =
the
airBridge TOTALs=92 his choice for his wireless network.
