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.
