What VCs Says About Company:

Commenting on why Palomar Ventures chose to invest in ExteNet Systems, partner Kevin Jacques said: "Although Palomar typically invests in earlier-stage companies, we saw this as an excellent opportunity to invest in a more mature business that we believe has tremendous growth potential. Because I had previously been on the board, we felt that we knew the company and market well. Management has done a fantastic job building networks and forming carrier relationships. We're excited about the additional market potential that new wireless services such as WiMAX and the newly released 700 MHz spectrum have created for ExteNet Systems."

The funds will be used to support the acceleration of the company's growth as it builds out a substantial number of new networks across the country. ExteNet Systems has signed contracts with nearly every major carrier and currently has networks operating or under construction in: California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island.
