NewMarket Technology, Inc. Subsidiary, RedMoon, Inc., Announces Municipal Wi-Fi Contract With Temple, Texas
Company on Track for $10 Million in Annual Broadband Revenue
DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - June 26, 2007) - NewMarket Technology, Inc. (OTCBB: NMKT) and
subsidiary, RedMoon, Inc. (RedMoon Broadband), today announced a purchase
order from the City of Temple, Texas, (http://www.ci.temple.tx.us/) to
construct a city-wide high-speed wireless network. RedMoon Broadband, a
state approved provider, was selected due to its reputation as a leader in
providing wireless solutions throughout the State of Texas. RedMoon
Broadband is central to NewMarket's overall strategy to rapidly establish
$10 Million in profitable annual revenue from its broadband subsidiary,
NewMarket Broadband.
RedMoon will provide the City of Temple, with real-time communications for
emergency operations, providing high-speed wireless connections anywhere in
the city back to City Hall. The wireless network will include a number of
video surveillance and data communications connections and a private
network with super high-speed connections that do not require expensive
fiber but still allows for easy scalability of the network. Data
transmissions across the network are secured using 128-bit AES encryption.
Additionally, the new network will allow for the Public Works department to
comply with Homeland security guidelines.
Texas-based RedMoon Broadband is a leader in municipal Wi-Fi and has
designed, engineered and deployed wireless mesh network solutions providing
high-speed Internet service, security surveillance, automatic water meter
reading and mobile broadband for municipalities, including Addison, Texas,
home to major corporations such as Mary Kay, Pizza Hut and Palm Harbor
Homes.
Additionally, RedMoon and Chevron Energy Solutions, a business unit of
Chevron Corporation, deliver service through the companies' SkyPilot mesh
network to the 10-square-mile City of Burleson, Texas, supplying an
automatic water metering program to more efficiently track consumption,
curb water loss and increase revenues. Automatic Meter Reading (AMR)
technology will enable Burleson to reduce meter-reading costs, improve the
accuracy of readings, support water conservation efforts and raise the
level of customer service.
Separately, RedMoon Broadband is exploring municipal Wi-Fi opportunities
internationally through NewMarket's Latin American operations. Recently,
NewMarket Technology and RedMoon Broadband announced the signing of a
non-binding letter of intent to form a partnership with Domos, Ltd. to
initiate and develop wireless broadband in Mexico. Additionally, RedMoon
Broadband also recently participated in a NewMarket Trade Mission to Brazil
to identify municipal Wi-Fi opportunities in the country with national and
local government officials in Sao Paulo, Curitiba and the capital,
Brasilia. Brazil's telecom regulator, Anatel, recently approved regulations
to permit 5,561 Brazilian municipalities to offer Wi-Fi Internet access.
