Millimeter-wave Pioneer 1Velocity Grows for Fourth Year in a Row

In Uncategorized on July 15, 2010 by Nate Rosenberg

It has been a very difficult year for 1Velocity and our communities. Las Vegas and Reno, Nevada have been number one on many lists of which we are not proud, including the highest rate of foreclosures, unemployment, and bankruptcies in the nation. Many of our largest companies have been on the brink or have filed bankruptcy in the last year.

However, despite all the challenges, 1Velocity has made some very important progress.

As we begin our fourth year, 1Velocity continues to grow.

We just closed out the fiscal year, and despite the recession, 1Velocity had record revenues last year. This year is off to a good start as well. Revenues for the first quarter of this fiscal year are up from the previous year. Remarkably, we have also cut expenses over the last year.

As the economy continues to improve and more organizations learn about 1Velocity’s unique services, we hope to continue to help more organizations improve redundancy, save money, and get more done quickly with Internet and private Ethernet connections over wireless fiber.

1Velocity Celebrates Four Years!

In Company Updates on July 13, 2010 by Nate Rosenberg Tagged: , , , ,

Birthday candlesHappy Birthday to us! Today is 1Velocity’s fourth birthday.

They Grow Up So Fast

In four years, the 1Velocity network has gone from zero locations to over one hundred. We’ve built state-of-the-art Metro Ethernet carrier networks in Las Vegas and Reno using wireless GigE millimeter-wave and microwave technology.

Banks, governments, airlines, healthcare, mobile phone carriers, public safety, and many other organizations have used 1Velocity to save thousands in trenching costs, improve redundancy, and get installed quickly. In fact, we have site-walked over six hundred locations.

Metro Ethernet over a Wireless Fiber Carrier Network

For years, carriers had to share the phone company’s infrastructure. 1Velocity has shown how to provide enterprise-class bandwidth on a wireless backhaul that completely bypasses the phone company’s trenches, poles, and central offices.

1Velocity provides Internet and metro Ethernet connections from 8 Mbps to 1 Gbps over its network to businesses, government, and carriers.

Thank You

Thank you to all our customers, investors, and staff over the years who helped get us to this point. We could not have done it without you.

Why Las Vegas Dissemination Chose 1Velocity

In Customer Case Studies,Video on June 9, 2010 by Nate Rosenberg

Las Vegas Dissemination Company (LVDC) provides pari-mutuel services and race information to casinos and racetracks across North America. Ken Sarnecky from LVDC discusses the importance of redundant Internet providers to their business and why they chose 1Velocity.

Watch the video (2 min):

LVDC currently has 1Velocity and another provider providing Internet to their headquarters (both connections are used as primary with different data on each connection). LVDC added an additional line with 1Velocity last year and recently renewed the 1Velocity Internet connection at their headquarters.

“Two years ago, we brought in 1Velocity. They are completely diverse from any other carrier.

What has surprised us is it that 1Velocity’s wireless fiber has been more reliable than our ground fiber carrier. 1Velocity has performed very well, and I would highly recommend them.”
