Oxford Media Begins Beta Trials of Advanced WiMAX systems
Oxford Media Announces WiMAX Beta Trials to Begin 1st Quarter 2006
Oxford Media, Inc. (OTC BB: OXMI), a secure
digital communication and technology company, today announced Beta Trials
of advanced WiMAX hardware and software testing to begin 1st Quarter 2006.
Oxford Media's proprietary hospitality entertainment system is designed for
underserved markets that are not presently served by larger companies.
Oxford Media's system is priced well below our competitors, offering
features previously unavailable for our market. These value-added services
help Oxford's hospitality customers improve their service to their guests,
building customer loyalty while controlling costs.
Oxford Media will expand its hotel Entertainment on Demand systems to
consumers and businesses in the surrounding markets utilizing a new
wireless technology called WiMAX.
WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access-IEEE 802.16) is a
standards-based wireless technology (an implementation of
802.16: 802.16-2004 and 802.16e) that provides high-throughput broadband
connections. WiMAX can be used for a number of applications, including
"last mile" broadband connections, hotspot and cellular backhaul, and
high-speed enterprise connectivity for businesses. Oxford is developing a
wireless distribution model to offer enhanced Internet access and
Entertainment on Demand services at a dramatically reduced infrastructure
cost.

The Company has designed its proprietary hospitality entertainment system
to support a wide variety of convenient services for business and consumers
within reach of its wireless network. Utilizing the roof tops of our
existing hospitality customers to provide the foundation and location for
deployment, Oxford will install WiMAX antennas broadcasting broadband
Internet, movies and other services to businesses and homes within the
range of the Oxford wireless Private Broadband Network (PBN).
The Company's early WiMAX installations will be located in smaller rural
markets, under-served by broadband and cable access. Oxford's high speed
wireless, two-way digital communications capability enables us to provide
interactive services not available in these markets.
Oxford Media will begin testing WiMAX antennae's and radios from various
leading manufacturers to determine Best of Breed technology to combine with
our WiMAX ready Video on Demand software and video servers. Industry
experts from various manufacturers, leading wireless architecture
strategists and developmental engineers will participate.
"We believe that selecting Best of Breed WiMAX technology will give us a
long term competitive advantage in delivering a wider array of services
than our up and coming competitors," stated Tom Hemingway, CEO of Oxford
Media Inc.
The Company's wireless PBN will allow customers within a 10 mile range of
each wireless antenna to access the Internet at speeds 10 to 20 times
faster than existing broadband offerings. This will allow access to other
services such as VOD. Movies being delivered on the Oxford PBN are of the
highest quality from broadcast to High Definition. To the consumer it looks
as if the content is being delivered over the Internet, but in reality the
content is distributed to our media servers through the same satellite
network we utilize to distribute the content to the media servers located
in the Hospitality property.
Oxford's Wireless PBN features include:
-- Remote wireless high-speed Internet
-- Video on Demand for the home or business
-- Dedicated broadcast entertainment
-- Direct billing to users' credit card accounts
The market opportunities for our services are in two areas: consumer
markets for broadband Internet access and private network VOD services.
Oxford will initially provide the Oxford PBNs in rural or underserved
markets, and then move into metropolitan markets. Rural markets are
considered fertile WiMAX territories because many of them have not been
wired for cable or DSL broadband access making them prime targets for
Oxford's wireless PBN.
