5G Wireless Plans Diversification Into Network Services
Market Wire, September, 2006
5G Wireless Communications Inc. (OTCBB: FGWI), a leader in the wireless broadband industry, today announced it has signed a letter of intent (LOI) to assume the assets of wireless service provider IVADO, a registered trademark brand of Global Connect Inc. The planned acquisition establishes the IVADO services division of 5G as the company continues its expansion into the travel and hospitality market.
The LOI signals the anticipated entrance and diversification of 5G into the wireless service provider market while strategically positioning the company to fully leverage both the regrowth of the travel/hospitality business, and the needs of their customers. According to a survey conducted by the Wi-Fi Alliance in late 2005, seventy percent of current and prospective Wi-Fi users report they are more likely to take their notebook computers when traveling on vacation thanks to the widespread availability of wireless networking hotspots in airports, hotels, parks, and restaurants. Wi-Fi provides a virtual office for customers with constant connectivity, allowing for easy, unfettered access.
"Having a prior relationship with 5G and a clear understanding of the value and savings their equipment brings to our business model, the consolidation came naturally," says Joshua Henschell, President of IVADO. "With 5G's solid operating and management team, I feel confident that going forward, the business can only expand and flourish."
"After receiving a firm commitment from IVADO to be their exclusive supplier, we began examining the overall wireless service provider market for the hospitality industry," says Jerry Dix, CEO of 5G Wireless. "We saw the cost of equipment as the prohibitive growth factor, and recognized our strength and value proposition, lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), would result in a clear match where our equipment fits that need. Rather than simply provide the wireless hardware and equipment for hotel and timeshare deployments, participating in the ongoing revenue stream of this dynamic business model makes more sense. We see the timing is right for equipment and services to unite as a single offering. By removing the burden of the upfront equipment costs, expansion and growth can be accommodated quicker, with the breakeven point realized that much sooner. Similar business models may be offered to selected WISPs as well."
Since the contracts IVADO holds are for a minimum of five years, there is a tremendous opportunity to establish a market leading position and create a substantial revenue stream. This recurring revenue base combined with existing 5G revenue from equipment sales to universities and international customers should make a substantial positive impact, bringing enhanced value to shareholders.
The execution of the final agreement is anticipated to take place by end of Q3 2006 pending the final stages of due diligence. Payment in connection with the proposed transaction will be stock only.
