ERF Wireless was founded in 2004 as a “Critical Communications Infrastructure” public company with the express objective of applying advanced wireless broadband technology and other communications technology to a select suite of enterprise, commercial and retail critical communications needs in order to build shareholder value. Since that time, the company’s strategic business plan has been to buy the “best of breed” Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) providing broadband services in rural areas and increase their profits exponentially. This has been accomplished by offering high-speed wireless broadband products and services to traditional WISP commercial and residential customers and then overlaying that traditional customer base with a number of specialized vertical markets, each with its own specialized critical communications needs, such as oil and gas, healthcare and education. ERF Wireless is a fully reporting public corporation with four divisions supplying wireless broadband product and services: Enterprise Network Services (Banks, Educational Institutions, Healthcare Facilities), Bundled Wireless Services (WISP), Network Operations (Overall Operational Support) and Wireless Messaging Services (Product Manufacturing and Maintenance). The company also has a wholly owned subsidiary, Energy Broadband, Inc. (Oil & Gas).
