MIAMI, FL (March 14, 2001) - Netrox LLC, a Florida-based Internet and network solutions provider, has restructured its operations after acquiring itself back from parent company Allied Riser Communications Corporation (Nasdaq: ARCC). Netrox has redefined its business units to focus on four primary segments: professional services, system security, web development and hosting and Internet access. Today, Netrox launched a repositioning and marketing campaign that focuses on their four primary business units and will target consumers and businesses.

Netrox has consistently created benchmarks in the local IT industry, pioneering unlimited Internet access while providing clients the same pricing structure since 1995. Currently, Netrox offers clients a broad gamut of services ranging from Internet access, including dialup, ISDN, DSL and T1 access, to a comprehensive suite of professional information technology, system security, web development and hosting services. The growing trend for companies to outsource non-revenue generating business processes, such as information technology, has resulted in Netrox's significant capital investment toward product and client development in the Internet and professional services arena.

According to IDC, a Massachusetts-based market research firm, the most important factor for clients when choosing an IT provider is price. Cognizant that price is critical, second only to quality, Netrox's client-driven business strategy is concentrated on price and service, offering clients the lowest price point and quickest response time in a market that is highly competitive and saturated by large corporations.

"In 1995 we ventured into the information technology market while it was still in its infancy, in terms of general consumer understanding," said Mr. Alex Rodriguez, President of Netrox. "Our initial projections were in line with the long-term development of the high-tech market, and because our strategy has always been client-driven, Netrox has been able to maintain its position as a consistent market leader," added Mr. Rodriguez.

Netrox offers clients a complete suite of information technology business solutions, providing clients a cost effective and efficient alternative to the internal expense of an "in-house" information technology specialist.


Netrox was founded by entrepreneur David Marcus, currently Netrox's Chairman of the Board of Directors, at the onset of the Internet revolution. The company received private funding and within two years became one of the southeast's leading ISPs. In early 2001, Netrox was acquired by Allied Riser Communications Corporation, and Netrox shareholders bought back the company in late 2001.

Netrox LLC, founded in 1995 and headquartered in Miami, is a leading provider of Internet and network solutions in Florida and the southeastern United States. Affording clients a single point of contact for a full line of networking and Internet solutions, Netrox has been recognized as one of South Florida's fastest growing high-tech companies by the South Florida Business Journal. Netrox services over 1500 clients throughout the United States. For more information on Netrox, please visit their website at www.netrox.net.
