Ricochet Networks, Inc., a Denver-based leading Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP) and wholly owned subsidiary of Terabeam Wireless (corporate name: YDI Wireless, Inc. - NASDAQ: YDIW), today announced that it was chosen by The Center of Denver to provide wireless Internet access for the Digital Entertainment Center and technology showcase at Pride Fest Denver 2005. The annual Pride Fest Denver festival, occurring this year on Sunday, June 26, 2005 from 9:00 a.m. until sunset, draws upwards of 170,000 attendees, making it one of the Rocky Mountain region's largest events of its kind. The Digital Entertainment Center exhibit will feature innovative laptop and digital entertainment technologies. Ricochet will provide wireless connectivity to the Ricochet(R) Network to allow participants the opportunity to experience a truly wire-free Internet experience, via laptops, from the heart of Denver's Civic Center Park. Ricochet was contacted by The Center, the official sponsor and organizer of Pride Fest Denver, to provide Internet access when "wired" carriers could not deliver a connection to the festival's outdoor location. The Center's Executive Director, Art Thompson, stated "Ricochet's wireless modem presence combined with Internet computer stations at Denver's Gay Pride Celebration enables participants to interact with The Center and our new website. We will be taking a real-time survey to help determine the needs of the community and to determine direction on the development of our programs." He ended by saying, "Without Ricochet's participation, this project would be impossible." "This further demonstrates the enormous flexibility that the Ricochet Network provides," stated Steve Schwendemann, Ricochet Senior Vice President Expansion. "We are pleased and excited to bring a wireless solution to this situation. If you get a chance to attend this great event, please come by the Digital Entertainment Center or our booth to learn more about Ricochet and what we can do to set you free."
