FireNet1 Makes Acquisition |
FireNet1.com, the largest wireless network in Desoto and Tunica Counties, has acquired another tower site from Maritime  Communications.
This particular tower site in the Lake Cormorant area was one of our very first towers to install equipment upon and now we are proud to say we are not just a tenant but the owner.
Earlier this year we purchased the land that the tower sits upon and started discussions with the ownership group about the tower itself. We came to an agreeable price and now the property, as a whole, is in our control.
FireNet1 will start site improvements very soon. The most important thing, and our most immediate focus, is to get the tower’s lights and emergency generator back in operation. Additionally, we will be straightening and tensioning the guy wires and re-grounding everything to further secure this key investment in our network. This tower has become integral to us as we continue to expand into Tunica County. With the securing of this asset we can now turn our attention to expanding our network.
As the summer heat breaks and Mississippi transitions into fall, we too are transitioning into deploying new areas of service. We will soon deploy two new areas of service that have been offered to us and are in discussions to expand into two more. We are steadily working toward our goal of completing our coverage around Desoto County and are hoping to be in Olive Branch sometime next year.
Firenet1.com is a wholly owned subsidiary of ADSi, which has delivered high quality software to public safety for over 25 years. FireNet1.com started in 2006 to meet the needs of rural areas of Desoto County and currently serves approximately 250 customers. FireNet1.com, with its partners, offers high speed Internet for home and business, VoIP phones for Business, point to point services as a T-1 replacement, cabling, networking, and computer clean up and repair.

FireNet1 Passes Milestone... |
...with the installation of our 225th customer.
We have been so busy with upgrades and new installs that we slipped by our 200th customer without much fanfare and have now crossed over the 225 customer mark. It's very encouraging to see the growth of the company in the last year, especially in light of the fact that we lost an entire service area as a result of a tower falling.
Our future is bright despite the economic downturn.
Often times we are the only network bringing service to rural areas of Tunica and Desoto Counties. But many times we are competing with billion-dollar phone and cable companies. Thankfully people want to be online and want choice. We will never be able to out spend these companies, so we have to work a lot smarter, react faster, and provide better service.
Just like many of our loyal customers we have to make improvements slowly and within our budget. The good news is we have been able to expand a little faster in the past year.
Over 200 customers represent a mountain of work for a small company like us.
But thankfully we can see the effort is appreciated when we receive complements like one I heard from a valued customer just the other day. He
said "I don't know how y'all do it. I had DSL for years and I was always
calling them for support about every couple of weeks. My FireNet just works all the time."
We want to thank our clients for choosing to do business with us. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and look forward to continuing to provide quality service as we grow together.
