BelAir Networks Congratulates Dolphin Stadium on PC Magazine 2007 Small Business Award

Dolphin
Stadium and BelAir Networks, the provider of mobile broadband mesh network
solutions, announced that Dolphin Stadium was honored with the PC Magazine SMB
Award for small businesses in recognition of the venue’s powerful wireless mesh
network. In the award’s second year, PC Magazine selected ten companies that
are using technology in intelligent ways to improve their business. The SMB
Award winners are profiled at go.pcmag.com/smb.

“Small
businesses are the lifeblood of the American economy—creating jobs,
opportunities and change,” said Lance Ulanoff, PC Magazine Editor in Chief. “PC
Magazine is pleased to recognize the companies and entrepreneurs who employ
technology in creative ways—helping them grow their businesses and, in turn,
leading by example.”

Dolphin
Stadium has one of the most comprehensive wireless networks of any sporting
venue in the country. Using only 29 wireless nodes from BelAir Networks, the
network covers over two million square feet from the 78,000-seat stadium and
bowl to the 22,000 space parking lots. The powerful multi-service wireless
network is utilized for a wide variety of applications at the stadium including
the world’s largest POS system under one roof supporting food and beverage service
in the stands and on-site restaurants. It also provides high-speed, reliable
Internet access to the press box allowing reporters to file stories easily and
quickly. Photographers use the network to capture fan photos through a service
provided by Kodak. This same network will also support stadium video security
cameras.

“We are
honored to be recognized by PC Magazine as a technology innovator,” said Tery
Howard, Vice President of Information Technology, Miami Dolphins, Ltd. and
Dolphin Stadium. “Our wireless system from BelAir Networks has increased
customer satisfaction as well as revenue and we’ve been really impressed by the
network’s performance, reliability and flexibility.”

Dolphin
Stadium worked with A2000 Network Solutions to install the infrastructure from
BelAir Networks in less than 30 days from initial visit. As a technology
leader, Dolphin Stadium is also home to the largest high-definition video
boards in professional sports and the longest LED ribbon display.

“Dolphin
Stadium truly is a technology innovator, and we’re pleased to be working with
them and A2000 on these innovations,” said Bernard Herscovich, CEO and
President of BelAir Networks. “Dolphin Stadium is very clear in their
commitment to both exemplary customer service and leading–edge technology so
BelAir Networks high-performance, high capacity wireless networking is a great
fit.”
