Record 2008 for MobileAccess Sets Stage for Expansion

In-building Wireless Leader Launches New Brand to Drive Continued Global Expansion and Reach New Target Markets

Vienna, Va - February 10th, 2009 - MobileAccess, a global provider of enterprise wireless solutions, today announced the strongest growth in company history, with revenues in 2008 increasing more than 55 percent. MobileAccess’ growth was driven by a surge in global sales, strong traction in key vertical markets and critical milestone deals. Capitalizing on the burgeoning in-building wireless systems industry which, according to ABI Research is expected to exceed $15 billion by 2013, MobileAccess sets the stage for expansion into a number of new areas in 2009.

As part of the company’s entry into new markets, MobileAccess today unveils the Encover product line, a powerful new brand for its flagship Universal Wireless Network product line. Encover is a comprehensive portfolio of interior coverage solutions that provides enterprises with adaptable architecture, empowering them to keep pace with future wireless innovations. The Encover product portfolio equips both new-build as well as existing state-of-the-art buildings, airports, hospitals, luxury resorts and casinos, and skyscrapers, with a future-ready, intelligent wireless infrastructure that supports current WLAN, cellular applications and wireless requirements, such as WiMAX and 3G technologies and beyond. 

“In today’s challenging economy, MobileAccess’ unique value proposition resonates well,” said Cathy Zatloukal, CEO of MobileAccess. “Our Wire-it-Once strategy delivers a lasting investment and supports the short- and long-term technology roadmaps for enterprises. In 2009, we will continue to expand around the globe supporting customers across markets with unparalleled flexibility and guaranteed wireless coverage for a broad array of mobile applications and wireless services.”

As part of its aggressive international growth strategy, in 2008 MobileAccess increased operations with new personnel tapped to oversee expansion in key regions such as Eastern Europe and the United Arab Emirates. Ron Wells, vice president of marketing, and Marcus Watson, director of channel business development, have joined the company to drive global initiatives with key responsibility for ensuring that MobileAccess meets the regionalized technology needs and goals of operators and customers, as well as supporting the mobility demands of businesses in all corners of the globe.

Along with international expansion, MobileAccess continued its heritage of innovation, remaining the in-building wireless solutions provider of choice for cutting-edge vertical markets such as healthcare and hospitality. Covering more than 300 million square feet with reliable wireless coverage in 2008, MobileAccess deployed its Encover product at Philadelphia’s Comcast Center, Fontainebleau Las Vegas and Clarian Health’s network of hospitals in Indianapolis.

MobileAccess’ commitment to ensuring wireless coverage that meets the business needs of any organization goes beyond simply providing in-building wireless coverage.
