ERF Wireless engaged a major construction contractor to build out two additional high-speed wireless broadband networks in two separate areas of the Permian Basin region.

In addition, ERF is using its own construction crews to construct three new networks that are near the extensive terrestrial wireless network system already owned and operated by ERF in Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma. These new network segments are part of a larger expansion of the overall ERF network throughout North America.

H. Dean Cubley, chief executive officer of ERF, said, "We have a number of our existing oil and gas customers that are already drilling in remote areas of the Permian Basin and other areas of Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico that currently don't have any terrestrial wireless broadband service coverage. Moreover, these customers plan to be very active in these same areas over the next 10 years or more. When our contractor completes our newest network additions to the Permian Basin and our own crews complete their new construction activity within the next 60 days, ERF Wireless will have added approximately 10,000 sq miles of new terrestrial wireless broadband coverage in these highly active, oil and gas drilling areas."
