BelAir Networks powers broadband in Dolphin Stadium

Miami Dolphins and Florida Marlins fans have another great reason to
cheer this year as Dolphin Stadium debuts a powerful new wireless
network right on time for the upcoming FedEx Orange Bowl and Super Bowl
XLI. Powered by BelAir Networks, the mobile broadband wireless mesh
network provides high speed internet access to the stadium, dining
areas, Executive Suites and parking areas.

BelAir partner A2000 deployed the wireless network to support key
amenities and business services within the facility. Covering over
300,000 square feet, the stadium boasts the largest wireless point of
sale system under one roof in the world. The network has significantly
increased the efficiency of the stadium s POS
system. The stadium also plans to use the network with venue-wide VoIP
services to keep staff connected, and video security systems.

The network was up and running in less than 30 days from the initial
visit to the site and is now delivering wireless high speed internet
access throughout the stadium. Sports reporters on tight deadlines now
have the choice to file up-to-the-minute stories wirelessly from the
press box. Hungry fans can order refreshments from their seats or
Executive Suites using hand-held wireless devices.

Dolphin Stadium is a leader in professional
sports and entertainment and we want to offer our fans the best
experience possible, stated Joe Bailey, Chief
Executive Officer, Dolphins Enterprises. We
are extremely pleased with the industry-leading broadband performance of
the BelAir solution as well as its carrier-class capacity and
reliability.

We looked at competing solutions, but BelAir
offered best-in-class performance. It would have required more than 100
traditional Wi-Fi access points to provide the coverage we re
getting with 6 BelAir nodes. And, with BelAir, we can support multiple
applications in a secure networking environment,
stated Tery Howard, Director of Information Technology, Miami Dolphins,
Ltd. and Dolphin Stadium.

Dolphin Stadium has hosted three Super Bowls and two World Series, and
will be home to two Super Bowls in the next four years, including the
upcoming Super Bowl XLI in February 2007. Having the POS system,
wireless applications and Wi-Fi in place in time for the biggest day in
sports was critical.

With the deployment of the wireless networks, two of the world s
largest HDTV screens and LED display, Dolphin Stadium has become the
technology leader in the world of professional sports. To support its
action-packed football, baseball, and soccer games, the stadium is the
proud owner of professional sports largest
high definition (HD) video boards.

We are focused on delivering best-in-class
wireless networks to support our customers
future economic development and next generation services like those
offered at the Dolphin Stadium, stated Jim
Freeze, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Alliances, BelAir
Networks. The stadium is well known for its
action-packed games and now it will be recognized for its technology
leadership.

The stadium chose BelAir s wireless mesh
network solution for its proven high performance, ability to support
multiple applications concurrently, easy manageability and
industry-leading quality of service. The ability of the network to run
high bandwidth services using voice, video and data concurrently was
critical to support the arena s services
including POS, high speed internet access, and video security systems.

deployments worldwide, including leading cities such as Minneapolis, the
City of London and Toronto, BelAir Networks mobile wireless broadband
