Logonix Restores Full Services after Bridgeway Radio Tower Collapse

Logonix Corporation and its partners have been working relentlessly since October 31, 2006 to restore its Highspeed Broadband Internet Services to customers who lost access to the Internet when the Bridgeway Radio Tower Collapsed during the night of October 30. Within 48 hours of the collapse we had 80% of our affected customers operational again--including the new Springview Hills service area. By November 9 Logonix Corporation had restored service to nearly 100% of its affected customers. This was no small feat for a small business.

We would like to thank our customers for their patience and encouraging words during this time. Extra special thanks goes to Computer Masters International, Inc. for their consulanting work, networking expertise, and ability to perform under pressure to help us get back into operation. We also would like to thank our tower climbers and installers for their help, Bridgeway Incorporated for its cooperation, and Infobahn Outfitters and Insight Communications for their help as well.

Bridgeway Radio Tower Collapses Causing Service Outage

The Bridgeway Radio Tower has collapsed overnight. At roughly 11:52PM on October 30, 2006, Logonix Corporation found that it had lost communications with its networking equipment that is located at the Bridgeway Tower. Because this tower is used as a customer end-point as well as a relay-point to service other areas in Macomb, many Logonix customers are affected. Read the story and view the pictures.

Highspeed Broadband Internet Extended to Springview Hills

On October 30, 2006, Logonix Corporation has launched a new wireless service specifically targetting the Springview Hills area North of Spring Lake in Macomb. Up to this point no local Broadband Internet Service Providers could supply service to anyone in this area and they had indicated that this area would not be served due to its remote location outside of their service areas. But now Logonix Corporation has answered the call and is providing a high-speed Internet access as an alternative to dial-up for residents of Springview Hills.

Logonix Corporation has made a substantial investment into a special wireless infrastructure that specifically targets this "forgotten" area. Thus, residents of Springview Hills may now join the Logonix family and enjoy Logonix Highspeed Broadband Internet Services just like most of the rest of the Macomb area!

Once again Logonix Corporation shows that it is a trusted and reliable leader of the Highspeed Broadband Internet Service industry as it is again the first company to bring high-speed services to under-served areas ignored by other providers in Macomb. Our proven leadership started when we became the first local Internet Service Provider to offer broadband wireless Internet services to the Macomb area, it continued when we become the first local Internet Service Provider to offer broadband ADSL services to the Macomb area, and it still continues today with this new extension for Springview Hills.
