NEW YORK --(Business Wire)--

"Together with Atlantic Metro, our solution solves some of the most complex networking requirements faced by New York City's commercial building owners and operators," stated Russ Hamm, Founder and President of Rainbow Broadband. "Today, more businesses require and rely on high-bandwidth Internet connections, and now commercial building managers have a reliable, easy to provision, high-technology solution that will more than meet businesses growing Internet connectivity requirements in the market."

"Rainbow Broadband's unique WiMAX solution, using dedicated microwave antennas to deliver last mile network solutions, is the ideal partner for Atlantic Metro's terrestrial-based Ethernet network," added Stephen Klenert, CEO of Atlantic Metro Communications. "Business operators now have a completely redundant and fully-diverse network solution that leverages the latest communication technology underground and in the sky."
