West Palm
Beach, FL – December 1, 2003 – Wireless Telcorp, Inc. is pleased to announce
the completion of a total wireless access solution for Party Line Cruise
Company (PLCC), a new high-speed day cruise company set to begin operations
between the Port of Palm Beach and Grand Bahama Island.
The
association of the two companies, both with leading edge vision in their
respective industries, is a natural fit for demanding applications. PLCC
will launch the first of its kind in the area, a daily schedule for low cost
high speed passenger shuttle service between West Palm Beach and Freeport
with state-of-the-art cruise ship luxury and safety built upon a
shipbuilding architecture known as SWATH technology. The rigorous
requirements to launch such a service from concept to reality entails a
myriad of challenges for reliable voice and data communications, which must
be integrated between reservations, maintenance and overall company
operations. A highly scalable carrier class solution, which could be
quickly deployed to support all applications would be the only acceptable
choice for turning up PLCC’s complex IT network infrastructure. Extensive
coverage provided by Wireless Telcorp’s fully dedicated and synchronous
wireless broadband network serving the area without need for local loop or
copper phone lines is a proven alternative to conventional telco plant
facilities.
Wireless
Telcorp’s deployment for Party Line Cruise Company includes the Port of Palm
Beach main building, a maintenance facility, and the company’s
administrative offices for general operations. These three locations were
put “on network” with separate high speed wireless data circuits capable of
supporting the data, voice (VoIP), Internet access, and virtual private
network (VPN) requirements. All transport circuits are scalable with simple
keyboard entries to support future growth for multi-meg bandwidth
requirements without any lead time normally associated with wireline carrier
delays caused by order processing, re-engineering and oftentimes equipment
changes or modifications.
Mr. Antoine
Gurrey, General Manager of PLCC since its inception in 1993 and with more
than 22 years experience in the fast ferry business commented with his
endorsement by saying that “the success of his innovative cruise company
would be largely dependent upon the uncompromised support and dedication of
its innovative partners like Wireless Telcorp.” Weyher Dawson, President of
Wireless Telcorp Florida issued a similar statement by saying “this
deployment opportunity with a forward thinking company like Party Line
Cruise Company is a classic example of how new wireless broadband
technologies can be engineered to deliver specific applications to the
mission critical business enterprise.”
