DALLAS & SAN DIEGO (Business Wire) -- Airband Communications, the largest fixed wireless service provider for U.S. businesses, today announced it has acquired the high-speed Internet access and Voice over IP business from VoloNet Technologies, Inc. d/b/a RedWire. The transaction provides Airband with an immediate presence in the country's most densely populated area for businesses - covering Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties.
