ERF Wireless Continues to Grow Recurring Revenue with Acquisition of Total Access Network
Publish Date : 12/19/2007 6:25:00 AM   Source : Networking News Onlypunjab.com

ERF Wireless (OTCBB:ERFW), a leading provider of enterprise-class wireless and broadband products and services, announced today that the company has completed the acquisition of certain assets of the Total Access network of Elgin, Texas, near Austin. This is the eleventh acquisition in the past two years by ERF Wireless of a Texas-based wireless Internet service provider (WISP). The acquisition includes approximately 500 current customers and all of the network infrastructure equipment of Total Access, including approximately 12 tower locations strategically located southeast of Austin, adjacent to existing WISP networks already owned by ERF Wireless. More importantly, the Total Access network footprint covers a significant portion of one of the ERF Wireless BranchNet bank networks and is an excellent example of the ERF Wireless business plan strategy of acquiring wireless broadband WISP networks in proximity to existing or planned bank networks.

Dr. H. Dean Cubley, CEO of ERF Wireless, commented, This acquisition underscores our focus to grow our banking business in multiple states while supplementing and supporting this growth through targeted acquisitions of strategic WISP properties that complement our existing and future bank customers.

Dr. Cubley went on to note that the company had surpassed a number of its goals in 2007. As we near the end of 2007, I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of ERF Wireless to thank our shareholder base for their continued support because without that support we could not have progressed as far and as fast as we have in the past year. In that respect, I would like to take this opportunity to summarize our major 2007 accomplishments during the past year for our newer shareholders as well as to project my vision of what I believe 2008 will bring for ERF Wireless.

2007: A Look Back

  • Our management team and employees have achieved outstanding results across all of our business units in 2007. The increase in revenue this year over the prior year demonstrates continued progress under our focused business strategy. We had total revenues of approximately $1.7 million in 2006 and I feel comfortable that we will meet or exceed my personal goal of $5 million for the current year. Additionally, we have made substantial progress in laying a solid foundation for future growth by recently completing multiple cash-flow-positive WISP acquisitions, adding new bank BranchNet bank customers, winning a triple-play fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) project, and designing and developing our US-BankNet system, a secure enterprise-class wireless network for the banking industry, currently deployed in Louisiana and Texas, that is owned by ERF Wireless and produces long-term recurring revenue.
  • The company is well-positioned to achieve solid revenue growth and anticipates exceeding its previously stated minimum objective of $5 million of revenue for fiscal 2007. Contributing to this success - the completion of several recently announced WISP acquisitions, a sound backlog of contracts, additional equity growth financing of $4.1 million, committed credit sources of more than $23 million, and a solid pipeline of new prospects.
  • The company's improving revenue capabilities, growing asset base and diversified financial resources are lining up for a fast start in fiscal 2008, and have significantly increased the potential for an early move to a national market.

2007: Highlights

  • The company revealed to the stockholders its overall business strategy for the banking industry of combining upfront BranchNet construction revenue with longer term BankNet, WiNet, and product recurring revenue to produce exponential revenue growth with a very conservative market penetration of the US financial sector. A better understanding of the business strategy can be achieved by visiting http://www.erfwireless.com/bank_chart.html.
  • The completion of the acquisition of assets and operations of three Central Texas WISPs - Momentum Online, TSTAR Internet and Total Access - added approximately 6,000 customers and more than $2.5 million in annualized revenues. These acquisitions cover eight counties in Central Texas and give the company a footprint covering 4,000 square miles when integrated with the company's existing Central Texas WiNet and US-BankNet System. These acquisitions also provide ERF Wireless a target market of more than 25,000 businesses, over 600,000 residents and more than 42 regional and community bank charters aggregating approximately 500 branch locations. The acquisitions also give the company access to 12 towers, in addition to 78 towers that the company already controls across the state.
  • The completion of more than $4 million in cash equity investment from accredited investors during the third quarter and early fourth quarter of 2007.
  • The completion of $10 million in funding commitment from BancLeasing Inc. for funding the company's US-BankNet System.
  • The completion of $10 million in funding commitment from Dutchess Capital for funding the companys growth.
  • The completion of a total of $3 million in funding commitment from Agility for lease financing of WISP equipment.
  • The company paid off in cash the remaining convertible debenture entered into with Global Capital Funding Group L.P. The company now has no outstanding convertible debentures other than the conversion feature under its ongoing E-Bond investment program.
  • The company announced that its patent-pending ERF Wireless CryptoVue(TM) Network Security Appliance would be marketed worldwide as a stand-alone VPN security device for encrypting wired and wireless wide-area networks. The patent-pending CryptoVue Network Security Appliance has successfully completed a testing program conducted by Motorola in its Schaumburg, Illinois, labs to validate its use with the MOTOwi4 wireless broadband solutions in applications requiring secure wireless communications. Under a Product Affiliation Agreement recently signed with Motorola, ERF Wireless has made its CryptoVue Network Security Appliance available to Motorola and Authorized Motorola Canopy Solutions Providers wanting to deploy secure wireless communications networks for non-financial industries. Both companies are now referencing and cross-linking the CryptoVue Network Appliance on their respective websites. A link to the webpage containing this joint marketing of CryptoVue can be found at www.erfwireless.com/cryptovue.htm. After reviewing the CryptoVue information found on this page, click on the Canopy logo to be linked to the Motorola marketing site. ERF Wireless CryptoVue solutions can be found under any of the Public Health, Education, Utilities, or Network Applications tabs.
  • The continued deployment of US-BankNet in Texas to provide the opportunity to gain market share of over 250 of the more than 1,300 financial intuitions in the state. The rollout of US-BankNet in Texas complements the deployment of US-BankNet already underway in the state of Louisiana.
  • The company, through an affiliate, signed a contract to acquire the largest transmission tower facility in Galveston County, Texas, to serve as the transmission hub for most of the company's banking and wireless broadband networks in the southeastern part of Texas. This 1,120-foot-tall tower and associated real estate is situated in an area south of Houston and provides a direct line-of-sight to a circular ground level footprint 70 miles in diameter that includes all the cities in three counties, including a population base of more than 5 million people.

2008: Looking Forward

  • Based on its existing sales pipeline, the company expects there will be an opportunity to close a number of significant BranchNet, BankNet, WiNet and product contracts with banks and other financial institutions in multiple states.
  • Marketing of the companys product and services will be expanded from the current regional base to a multi-regional basis and beyond.
  • The marketing of CryptoVue will be expanded by both the company and the companys previously announced marketing partner to multiple industries and applications. Additional marketing channels will be developed and implemented.
  • Additional states will be added to the company-owned BankNet footprint.
  • Master tower usage contracts will be negotiated in additional states.
  • Additional WISP network acquisitions will be completed adding significant new profitable recurring revenue to the company revenue base while at the same time supporting the growth and maintenance of the banking networks.
  • Based on the successful completion of the El Dorado FTTH contract in January 2008, additional significant FTTH contracts are anticipated in 2008.
  • The movement of the company to a national market listing as soon as the share price meets listing standards.

ERF Wireless is in the right industry with the right proprietary product at the right time. All of our opportunities as a company lie before us and the only reason that we would be limited in our attempts to capitalize on these opportunities is that we do not seize the opportunities when they are presented. As your Chairman and CEO, I plan to seize these opportunities and to attempt to continue to grow shareholder value in ERF Wireless in 2008 and beyond. Once again thank you for your continued support of ERF Wireless.
