Cypress Communications becomes Exclusive Wireless Provider for World Trade Center Wholesale Marketplace

Dallas Market Center selects Cypress Communications as exclusive wireless provider because of high-quality service and reasonable pricing.

Atlanta (Vocus) November 11, 2009 -- Cypress Communications® proudly announces that it has been selected as the exclusive wireless provider for two floors of Dallas Market Center’s World Trade Center wholesale marketplace, encompassing over 300,000 square feet. Cypress was selected based on its long history of successfully providing communications services throughout the Dallas Market Center and for its ability to provide cost effective, yet robust, wireless services.

For the marketplace, Cypress deployed the latest in wireless technology -- 802.11n -- to create a comprehensive wireless network. Cypress’ wireless network can be accessed on-demand by the building’s temporary exhibitors, eliminating the cost and complexity of running individual cabling to each exhibitor’s booth during markets. With the wireless network provided by Cypress, exhibitors benefit from quick turnaround time in gaining Internet access, robust bandwidth and reasonable pricing.

“Dallas Market Center’s goal is to offer the best market experience to our exhibitors,” said Steve Dumas, vice president of corporate services at Dallas Market Center. “It’s important for us to have high-quality wireless Internet access available for our temporary exhibitors at prices lower than our competitors. Cypress has been our telecommunications provider for many years, and their service and reasonable pricing made them a perfect fit for our new wireless network.”

“At Cypress, we partner with our clients to create customized solutions that meet their unique communication needs and help bring additional value to their businesses,” said Frank Grillo, executive vice president of marketing at Cypress. “We were pleased to expand our partnership with Dallas Market Center and to help them achieve their goal of providing an enhanced market experience.”

With a variety of solutions delivered through the Cypress hosted and managed delivery model -- from traditional voice and data to comprehensive unified communications -- Cypress enables customers to avoid upfront capital expenses while also avoiding the costly and time-consuming process of ongoing maintenance and management of the solutions.
