February 10, 2016 – Camden, Maine.  Redzone Wireless, LLC, a leading Maine wireless internet solutions provider (WISP), announced the first in a new suite of broadband services specifically developed for Maine businesses featuring breakthroughs in speed and affordability.

The new commercial broadband service offers symmetrical speeds of 200 Mbps at a monthly cost of $159, or 100 Mbps service for only $99 per month.  Redzone’s Business Broadband, initially developed and offered in Camden, will expand 2016 availability to other Redzone-served communities including Rockland, Portland, Westbrook, Lewiston/Auburn, Bangor, and Augusta.

“Redzone’s announcement of 200 Mbps commercial Internet service represents a pivotal milestone for Maine broadband, and a key catalyst for business development,” said Jim McKenna, Redzone Wireless, LLC President.  “The expanded availability of these game changing Internet services will dramatically increase Maine’s capacity for business formation & expansion, and will greatly increase opportunities for Maine business’ success in the digital economy.  The potential and promise of fixed wireless broadband to improve Maine’s broadband competitiveness vs other US states is rapidly becoming a reality.” explained McKenna.

“Maine appreciates Redzone’s continued investment in our broadband infrastructure, and we applaud their focus on meeting the growing business demands for state of art internet services all across Maine,” said George Gervais, Commissioner of the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development.  “Dependable, fast and affordable broadband access is critical to running a successful business.  This new service will only help increase the competitiveness of even more Maine businesses.”

“As a professional video producer regularly collaborating with clients in New York, Washington DC, and Los Angeles, ultra fast and reliable Internet connectivity is a core business necessity,” said David Berez, Award Winning Video Producer & Owner, Post Office Editorial. “Redzone’s new business broadband service allows me to work at the highest level in the video industry from my preferred place to live here in coastal Maine,” explained Berez.

“Redzone is removing a significant barrier to entry for Maine businesses in emerging industries such as biotechnology, research, cloud-based computing, and digital content creation,” said Michael Forcillo, Redzone Vice President.  “While 200 Mbps symmetrical broadband speed represents major improvement vs previous capabilities, Redzone has a clear development pathway to further increase performance and ultimately deliver gigabit speeds to our business customers,” added Forcillo.
