Company to Deploy Additional MBTs into North American Oil and Gas Markets
ERF Wireless (OTCBB: ERFW), a leading provider of enterprise-class wireless and broadband products and services, announced today that the company has begun taking delivery of the initial shipments from the recently announced $4.7 million order of Mobile Broadband Trailers (MBTs) that will expedite the deployment of the company's high-speed wireless broadband digital oilfield solutions for oil and gas drilling operations throughout North America.
According to Dr. H. Dean Cubley, CEO of ERF Wireless, "The initial shipments of approximately 30 MBTs to staging locations has already greatly expanded the company's capability to service the communications requirements of its oil and gas drilling customers throughout Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma. These MBTs are currently being outfitted with additional wireless equipment that will deliver our full array of premier wireless broadband products and services, and they will be deployed as soon as operational requirements dictate."
Dr. Cubley went on to note that with the receipt of the new MBTs, which will be deployed along with the company's existing fleet, ERF Wireless has taken the next major step in its continuing plan to become the wireless broadband communications solution of choice for the oil and gas industry in North America.
"With this initial expansion of our deployment capability early in 2010, we expect that the ERF Oil & Gas Services Division will quickly become the most profitable segment of our overall business strategy, which includes regional banking institutions, the healthcare industry and educational institutions, as well as commercial and residential customers in rural communities throughout the country," said Dr. Cubley.
