PAETEC Holding Corp. (NASDAQ GS: PAET), which provides data, voice, and Internet solutions to business-class customers, today announced the availability of Fixed Wireless Transport solutions across its serving area, enhancing the company's position in delivering advanced communication solutions.

PAETEC's Fixed Wireless uses carrier-grade microwave equipment and consultative engineering to build reliable 'last-mile' access loops between a customer network and a local PAETEC point of presence. Wireless local loops can be provisioned at DS-3, OC-3, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet speeds, and support the complete range of voice and IP services in the PAETEC portfolio.

The Fixed Wireless Transport solution plays an important role in PAETEC's robust Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity suite of services. By provisioning a wireless local loop, PAETEC can offer a customer complete physical infrastructure diversity within a market including termination to an alternate PAETEC Central Office. PAETEC wireless solutions are also available for enterprise customers such as universities, healthcare institutions, or professional service organizations requiring high-bandwidth point-to-point connections between buildings in a private network.

"The capability to provision wireless local loops clearly sets PAETEC apart from its competitors," said John Chapman, senior vice president of marketing. "Our growing business continuity portfolio enables us to deliver unique transport solutions like Fixed Wireless giving customers a new level of diversity."

PAETEC's expansion of its Fixed Wireless product suite comes as the result of the acquisition of MPX, Inc., a New York based company with 10 years of experience in licensed fixed wireless system engineering and field integrations. The 2008 acquisition brought a strong list of customers utilizing this product today.

"We have worked with a number of businesses across the U.S. as an alternative to fiber," said Mark Palvino, vice president of PAETEC Wireless. "These customers require very high bandwidth and have a low tolerance for interruptions. Fixed Wireless delivers them the speed and continuity they need."
