Catcher Holdings Announces Contract With AW Networks

Leesburg, VA - Catcher Holdings, Inc. recently announced that AW Networks, Inc. will deploy Catcher's Vivato wireless base stations using a phased array antenna with patented Packet Steering Technology in support of AW Network's scalable full duplex Ethernet offerings in the San Francisco Bay Area and Las Vegas. Deliveries of at least 30 base stations will occur throughout the year as the networks are deployed.

Gary Haycox, chief executive officer, of Catcher Holdings, Inc., commented, "We are excited to have been selected by AW Networks as a partner for supplying core technology into their network deployments. We are beginning to see an increased interest in our extended range wireless solutions into various outdoor environments, including these wireless metropolitan area networks. Our unique technology allows wireless service providers, such as AW Networks, Inc., to address a host of extended range coverage and high capacity requirements at a fraction of the deployment and operational costs of traditional mesh technologies."

Chief executive officer, Duane Butler, of AW Networks, Inc., added, "We analyzed a variety of options to meet our networking needs and while we found the extended range capabilities of this product to be especially robust, it was the extremely high backplane capacity inherent to Catcher's technology that was of vital importance to AW Networks. This gigabit backplane capacity allows us to realize substantial deployment cost savings as a result of being able to combine multiple customer services offerings across a single radio link. Our customers are significantly increasing their use of bandwidth intensive applications, and by utilizing Catcher's product we are able to proficiently provide the robust connectivity our customers demand."
