and found that Comodo products to be of the quality and reliability that would meet
Tiamet\'s users needs. \"We felt it was as important for us to offer information on
how to keep our customer\'s PC safe as it was to offer great broadband
wireless
services\", said Dave House, CEO of Tiamet Communications. \"In selecting Comodo, we
felt we could offer a high quality solution that will not cost our users anything.
Not only do we recommend Comodo products to our customers, but if they get a virus
while using a COMODO product (kept updated and run properly), we will clean their
system for free.\"
In Phase 1 of its deployment (already in progress) Tiamet Communications will launch
a powerful point-to-point secure 900 Mhz service able to cover wide areas as is
needed in rural communities such as Mecklenburg County. Part of this rollout will
include basic PC and security training in order to help customers maintain a safe
and secure PC.
Phase 2 of the deployment will include free wireless Internet access in public
areas. As part of this phase, Tiamet will offer Comodo\'s TrustConnect, a service
which allows users to create a secure wireless session in public
wireless
networks.
With Comodo\'s TrustConnect, users can elect to sign up per session or per month to
ensure encrypted and secure Internet sessions.
\"Wireless Internet technologies are here to stay, and expanding broadband Internet
access to all regions is an important initiative,\" said Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO and
Chief Security Architect of Comodo \"Tiamet understands that while customers want
broadband access, there are with new risks which must be mitigated. By using Comodo
