Efanz WiFi

Glenwood, Iowa, March 17, 2008 – Current and future residents of Lake Ohana, a 700 acre development just north of Glenwood, Iowa will enjoy their quiet, rural home and get affordable high-speed Internet.  But, it’s not just your typical broadband Internet service that they will be using.

Efanz, Inc. a Wi-Fi Internet provider and Timberline Holdings, LLC, the developer, announce an agreement to launch Efanz’ Wi-Fi Internet access for the residents of Lake Ohana.  The service, which is distributed above ground through a series of connected radio antennas, offers speeds, security and reliability that rivals or exceeds traditional “wired” service.  But even that doesn’t tell the whole story.  “The best way to describe the Lake Ohana deployment is that we are creating a large Internet “hotspot” that will ultimately provide mobile, wireless Internet access across the entire property”, said Roger Willey, Vice President of Marketing for Efanz.  “Being able to access the Internet, through any Wi-Fi ready device, at any given time is true third-generation wireless service”.

Rural areas and smaller cities have long been neglected, or even ignored by traditional Internet providers.  “In all fairness to the traditional providers of broadband Internet, the cost to deploy fiber cable in the ground prohibits them from servicing less populated areas” said Verlyn Veldhouse, President of Efanz.  “And, the service quality of traditional wireless has not always met expectations”.  “Our technology requires an investment, but we are able to blanket large areas with service at a fraction of the cost.”  “Thus making it a reliable and capable service as well as a viable business”.

Timberline Holdings President, Craig Nakamoto, felt it was an important feature to bring to Lake Ohana.  “High-speed Internet has become an important amenity for families today”.  “Being able to work from home, complete school projects or enjoy the best of what the Internet has to offer is more of a necessity than a luxury.”  “I felt that it was just as important to invest in this service as it was in other property improvements in order to meet the needs of Lake Ohana residents.”

Lake Ohana Wi-Fi is expected to be launched in late May and will offer each resident true broadband speeds.  The service will include all the features traditionally offered with Internet service as well as an affordable price.  “The price has yet to be finalized, but we expect it will be very competitive with other high quality service, “ said Mr. Nakamoto.

Lake Ohana is located 8 miles south of Council Bluffs, Iowa.  Timberline Holdings has completed the first of two planned development phases, which calls for 300 plus homes, a small shopping center and two lakes.

Efanz, Inc. is a national provider of Internet services having been in business for over 11 years.  The company is privately owned and located in Elkhorn, Nebraska.
