OneWest.net Launches 3G Wireless Internet Service

MISSOULA, Montana - January 17, 2003 - Teewinot Wireless Data and OneWest.net today announced a partnership which will make high speed, wireless Internet more widely available in Missoula MT.

Teewinot's state-of-the-art network provides convenient and cost-effective high-speed Internet solutions to businesses and homes in the greater Missoula area. The Teewinot Wireless Data network utilizes privately licensed MMDS (multichannel multipoint distribution service) frequencies and third-generation (3G) network technology developed by UK based IPWireless, Inc., the leading next-generation broadband wireless company.

The Teewinot network lets customers throughout greater Missoula connect to their ISP and the Internet over secure, wireless links using the IPWireless™ pocket-sized modem. This plug-and-play portable modem with an integrated antenna can be used with a single PC or be connected to several computers via a standard router within a office or home.

"We are excited to join forces with the innovative folks at OneWest.net to increase availability of high speed Internet access in Missoula," said Teewinot Wireless Data CEO and founder Gene Twiner. "With the help of our partners at IPWireless, we have increased our coverage area to include Lolo and Frenchtown, making our wireless service the most widely available broadband offering in the greater Missoula area."

"Teewinot's portable wireless solution is an attractive addition to our product suite," said Jeff Rice, OneWest.net's Chairman and CEO. "In Missoula, we will now offer an exciting, uniquely portable, high-speed Internet access solution that includes quick and easy installation. It's a compelling service that we believe in. Furthermore, the launch of this new wireless broadband solution, for OneWest, will contribute much to our ongoing strategy of evolving into a broadband services provider, it's a very exciting step for the company."

Teewinot's broadband network in Missoula was the first in the world to make 3G wireless Internet services available in June 2002. In addition to pioneering the technology, Teewinot is the first wireless network operator to partner with multiple ISPs to distribute their service. "We remain proud to work with Teewinot in adding new customers and advancing broadband technologies for the 2.5GHz spectrum," stated IPWireless CEO Chris Gilbert.
