SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 10, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- RV Wireless, Inc. (Pink Sheets:RVWS) announced that Connectifi, Inc. solidified its position as the #1 provider of nationwide, high-speed wireless Internet access to Recreational Vehicle resorts and RV enthusiasts in North America by signing another key customer, Pueblo El Mirage Golf and RV Resort. RV Wireless, Connectifi's major stakeholder, is dedicated to delivering wireless Internet connectivity to this growing market niche.
"Our Internet services are a win-win solution for resorts and guests alike," said Jonathan Miller, CEO of Connectifi. "Resorts like Pueblo El Mirage recognize that guests now demand high-speed Internet access as an essential amenity, and choosing our network gives them a simple, inexpensive way to offer it. And because we deliver service nationwide, guests don't have to sign up with multiple service providers when they travel, making Connectifi the logical choice."
RV Wireless affiliate Connectifi has established itself as the largest nationwide provider of full-time connectivity to the RV community. The company builds 802.11b Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) networks at resorts and delivers high-speed Internet access, email and voice capabilities to RVers. It enables resorts to provide "must have" wireless Internet service and gives RVers an affordable, reliable and easy way to go online using more than 7,500 Wi-Fi locations and 3,300+ dial-up access numbers.
The RV market is experiencing unprecedented growth. In North America there are 16,000+ RV resort parks and 25 million RVers, 80% of whom travel with computers. The number of RV-owning households is projected to rise 15% to nearly 8 million in 2010. The fastest-growing segment of RVers is the Baby Boomers, a wealthy and powerful demographic who want to travel and need to stay connected. More and more RVers are planning their trips around online connectivity, relying on the Internet to check email, pay bills, provide entertainment and conduct business.
A Roberts Resorts property, Pueblo El Mirage is a luxury destination with nearly 1,600 RV and manufactured home sites in El Mirage, Arizona. Connectifi is currently signing several more resorts scheduled for installation this fall.
