1 A Community-Driven Approach to Wireless Internet Service

2 © 2008 Epic Wireless Corp. All rights reserved. Section I: General Overview

3 Epic provides wireless networks to communities. Epic began in 2002 as an Information Technology (I.T.) company servicing clients with web design, data recovery, networking, hardware upgrades and repair. In 2006, Epic restructured and began offering Wireless Network Services to communities, apartments and condo associations. Who We Are © 2008 Epic Wireless Corp. All rights reserved.

4 Epic provides wireless internet service and wireless security services to communities. Along with internet, Epic will also offer wireless personal security cameras for remote monitoring and may offer VOiP home telephone service. What We Do © 2008 Epic Wireless Corp. All rights reserved.

5 First, an internet source is delivered to a common area in the community (usually the clubhouse). Second, the internet source is beamed wirelessly throughout the community to several drops. Third, wireless radios are deployed around the drops creating a spider-web effect around the community which delivers internet service to each residence. How It Works © 2008 Epic Wireless Corp.

9 Our network is behind the latest version of N.A.T (Network Address Translation). This means each connection to one of our access points creates a private tunnel to the internet. Epic also utilizes a user name & password system that authenticates each subscriber with our servers. By default ALL access is blocked until a user is authorized. This means any outside traffic, or un- authorized users are blocked from the system. Security © 2008 Epic Wireless Corp. All rights reserved.

However, if a subscriber chooses the annual or semi-annual plan, they pay for the service upfront. If they choose to cancel during that time, service will be pro-rated and credits will be given for the unused service.
