Companies will Focus on US and Canadian Fixed Broadband Wireless Access and WiMAX Markets
Chicago, Illinois, June 6, 2006 - InfiNet Wireless, a global provider of Broadband Wireless Access and pre-WiMAX equipment for last mile connectivity, today announced that the company has signed a value added distribution (VAD) agreement with Chicago-based Communications Technologies International (CTI), a wholesale distributor of technology products specializing in wireless broadband technologies. Under the terms of the agreement, the companies will focus on developing vertical markets for ISP/operators, IP video surveillance and public safety arenas in the rapidly growing markets of the US and Canada.
