U.S. Wireless Online, AIR2LAN to merge

U.S. Wireless Online and AIR2LAN last week said they will merge. The two companies will
retain their names as they consolidate operations. The deal is considered by many to be
a sign that the wireless broadband industry is maturing. AIR2LAN has focused with
working with other WISPs, including Boingo. The company also has its own corporate data
line, including VPN solutions. U.S. Wireless acquired part of Darwin Networks from
bankruptcy court in May 2001. Darwin provided kiosk access, as well as DSL and
building-wide broadband. US Wireless Online maintained the kiosk business and Darwin's
high-quality NOC, but did not acquire the DSL and building services assets. Experts now
estimate that there are between 700 to 1,700 WISPs in the U.S. No financial details were
released.
