ERF Wireless was founded in 2004 with the objective of applying wireless broadband technology to a select suite of enterprise, commercial and retail communications needs. Within a few short years, the company’s strategic business plan has successfully positioned ERF Wireless as the nation’s leading provider of secure wireless networks for the regional banking industry and one of the largest wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) in the U. S. The company is continuing to aggressively build and operate wireless broadband networks nationwide, utilizing a combination of acquisitions, partnerships and new construction.
Employing leading-edge wireless broadband technology and its proprietary CryptoVue® Network Security Appliance, ERF Wireless has established an extremely competitive advantage in the banking industry. To date, several community bank networks built by ERF Wireless utilizing CryptoVue have replaced expensive T1 telephone networks and now connect more than one hundred banking locations across three states.
The company has also expanded its base of products and services to include a triple-play Voice, Video and Internet offering to exclusive luxury resort communities delivered over a Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) network. ERF Wireless combines the design and implementation of this advanced communications system with a menu of wireless broadband services to create a truly unique turnkey package for a global market.
Most recently, ERF Wireless has utilized its extensive wireless network coverage in oil and gas production regions of Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Louisiana to launch its Oil & Gas Services Division, providing wireless high-speed broadband communications to drilling and production operations in an industry that is experiencing unprecedented growth and opportunity.
ERF Wireless is currently comprised of five divisions: Enterprise Network Services, Bundled Wireless Services, Network Operations, Wireless Messaging Services and Oil & Gas Services.
The Enterprise Network Services Division provides banks and financial institutions with secure, next generation high-speed data and voice communications through its BranchNet, US-BankNet and WiNet solutions. This division is also structured to provide the turnkey design and implementation of secure wireless broadband networks for enterprise-class business applications.
The Bundled Wireless Services Division provides a variety of Internet, voice, data and video services across the country under the ERF Wireless brand, as well as the localized branding of other ISP companies that have been acquired. This division is also in the process of building or acquiring wireless broadband networks to serve private entities, cities, municipalities and the general public. Currently, the Bundled Wireless Services Division owns and operates one of the largest wireless broadband networks in the U.S. and is expected to grow significantly over the next few years through a combination of acquisitions and internal growth.
The Network Operations Division provides the overall day-to-day maintenance and 24/7 monitoring of all wireless broadband networks that the company constructs, acquires, maintains and administers, as well as third party networks requiring these same services.
The Wireless Messaging Services Division provides project-level wireless broadband system design, construction and implementation, and manufactures and supplies high-power wireless infrastructure equipment. This division is also responsible for the design and implementation of the company’s FTTH systems in exclusive gated communities.
The Oil & Gas Services Division utilizes the wireless broadband expertise, project management skills, wireless network coverage footprint, monitoring and maintenance capabilities, proprietary security technology and the resources of the other divisions of ERF Wireless to provide a unique wireless broadband product and service offering to the major oilfield producers and service providers, including secure, cost-effective data transmission to and from drilling rigs and production wells worldwide. The data transmission capabilities of the Oil & Gas Services Division are extremely cost-effective and much more robust than any of the existing sources of data transmission previously utilized by the oil and gas industry.
