High Performance Online Gaming Network Provider launches connectivity and services offerings in St. Louis’ “Most Wired” building.

St. Louis, MO -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/04/2006 -- Progression Networks, dba, GameRail (http://www.GameRail.com) today announced that the "Meet Me Room" of the Bandwidth Exchange on Walnut Street in downtown St. Louis, Mo has been selected to be the initial network node for the GameRail Network.

GameRail operates an ultra high speed network that directly connects online game players to the servers that host the most popular and demanding titles. By deploying with a unique network peering approach to ISP's, Universities, MSO's and Game Hosting Providers, GameRail is able to deliver superior performance to its subscribers.

"Because of the Peering opportunities with the Bandwidth Exchange Buildings' existing clients, we are able to fast start our network and also provide superior performance for our peer's online gaming subscribers" Said GameRail's CEO Blake Ashby. "Turning up in a carrier hotel like the Bandwidth Exchange Buildings also give us rapid access to leading carriers to build a national network" Ashby furthered.

The GameRail Network is an evolution in the network model specifically designed to minimize latency and improve a computer gamer's online experience. The design of the GameRail Network will allow gaming traffic to get on the private network in the gamer's home city and then transit over the private network all the way to the site of the game server. GameRail will cut the number of network hops dramatically and will consequently reduce inherent latency. And because the data stays on the network end-to-end, GameRail is able to optimize the flow of the traffic, even further reducing network delays. GameRail will offer significantly improved connectivity to computer gamers. GameRail will redefine the expectations of what constitutes a quality online gaming experience.

About The Bandwidth Exchange Buildings

The Bandwidth Exchange Buildings provide space from as large as a 22,000 square foot floor to as small as a single cabinet or rack.

GameRail’s advanced performance, online gaming bypass network model validated by financial community.

St. Louis, MO -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/29/2006 -- Progression Networks, dba GameRail (http://www.gamerail.com), today announced that it has successfully closed on its initial funding round. The lead investor is River City Internet Group (RCIG), an area technology company, which will also provide a range of services. Robert Guller, President of The Broadband Exchange Building, is also a significant investor. GameRail has established its office at the Technology Entrepreneur Center (TEC) an area technology incubator.

"We are very pleased by the reception, enthusiasm and quick response of RCIG and our other investors, and also excited about the opportunity to join the TEC Incubator." said GameRail's President, Blake Ashby. "Our investors and partners are very sophisticated, and have decades of experience in technology and networking startups. Their investment is a great validation of our idea and the team we have assembled. With funding in place, we expect to go live with our initial network in the 4th quarter of this year," Ashby furthered.

Online multiplayer computer gaming is one of the fastest growing entertainment activities in the U.S., with over 40 million people now playing regularly. GameRail will introduce the first network designed to meet the speed and quality needs of online gaming. GameRail's bypass network delivers a "direct connect" for the game player to the game host. Players of online games currently must slog through dirty and congested Internet based transport lines, supporting geographically diverse players and game hosts via disparate providers. Present Internet based game play experience is further degraded by a lack of priority routing. GameRail subscribers are able to access GameRail's bypass network through a partner access provider that has a local interconnection. The subscriber's game play packets then bypass the multi-hop, high latency Internet and hot route on a dedicated, national broadband network connected to the game host.

"The GameRail network will change the expectations and economics of online multiplayer gaming" said Ashby. "Players of games like Counter Strike and World Of Warcraft will realize a significantly better game playing experience. Access providers and hosting companies will be able to give their customers a significantly better game playing experience while also reducing their own network and Internet costs. We will create a win-win situation for the industry."

River City will host the site on its carrier class hosting platform and data center, ensuring site availability regardless of traffic demands, premium web analytic tools, and daily back-ups of the site to ensure its promise of being online for 5 years. Such a robust architecture runs counter to most all pixel sites currently offered, because they reside on simple, very low cost, shared platforms that reflect the inexperience and under funded nature of most million pixel site owners. Pixel advertising buyers will have an appreciation for committing their dollars to a commercial grade site infrastructure because it assures the availability and continuity of their purchase.

PixelVice.com is the latest venture by proven promoter Ken Cox of St. Louis, Mo. Mr. Cox has successfully created other traffic and revenue generating sites aimed at the mid 20's crowd with http://www.litup.com and http://www.stldrunks.com . Ken is also an experienced night club promoter. His promotions have proven very effective at generating new foot traffic and return patrons for Midwest club owners with the http://www.stldrunks.com website and on-premise teams.

St. Louis, MO -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/29/2006 -- Progression Networks, dba GameRail (http://www.gamerail.com), today announced that it has successfully closed on its initial funding round. The lead investor is River City Internet Group (RCIG), an area technology company, which will also provide a range of services. Robert Guller, President of The Broadband Exchange Building, is also a significant investor. GameRail has established its office at the Technology Entrepreneur Center (TEC) an area technology incubator.

"We are very pleased by the reception, enthusiasm and quick response of RCIG and our other investors, and also excited about the opportunity to join the TEC Incubator." said GameRail's President, Blake Ashby. "Our investors and partners are very sophisticated, and have decades of experience in technology and networking startups. Their investment is a great validation of our idea and the team we have assembled. With funding in place, we expect to go live with our initial network in the 4th quarter of this year," Ashby furthered.

Online multiplayer computer gaming is one of the fastest growing entertainment activities in the U.S., with over 40 million people now playing regularly. GameRail will introduce the first network designed to meet the speed and quality needs of online gaming. GameRail's bypass network delivers a "direct connect" for the game player to the game host. Players of online games currently must slog through dirty and congested Internet based transport lines, supporting geographically diverse players and game hosts via disparate providers. Present Internet based game play experience is further degraded by a lack of priority routing. GameRail subscribers are able to access GameRail's bypass network through a partner access provider that has a local interconnection. The subscriber's game play packets then bypass the multi-hop, high latency Internet and hot route on a dedicated, national broadband network connected to the game host.

"The GameRail network will change the expectations and economics of online multiplayer gaming" said Ashby. "Players of games like Counter Strike and World Of Warcraft will realize a significantly better game playing experience. Access providers and hosting companies will be able to give their customers a significantly better game playing experience while also reducing their own network and Internet costs. We will create a win-win situation for the industry."

About GameRail:

Progression Networks, dba GameRail, a Missouri LLC, is a facilities-based network operator that is dedicated to delivering superior performance to the online gaming community. GameRail directly connects game players to their favorite game hosts and vice versa, thereby eliminating game play degrading high latency hops on the Internet. GameRail management is an accomplished, multi disciplined, tenured team with operational experience stemming from ISP, CLEC, Gaming, and Web Hosting industries with engineering, financial, customer support, sales and marketing backgrounds. The GameRail network will revolutionize online game play and seeks interested partners and players.

River City will host the site on its carrier class hosting platform and data center, ensuring site availability regardless of traffic demands, premium web analytic tools, and daily back-ups of the site to ensure its promise of being online for 5 years. Such a robust architecture runs counter to most all pixel sites currently offered, because they reside on simple, very low cost, shared platforms that reflect the inexperience and under funded nature of most million pixel site owners. Pixel advertising buyers will have an appreciation for committing their dollars to a commercial grade site infrastructure because it assures the availability and continuity of their purchase.

River City's expansion will meet the demands of its growing business units and clients for enhanced Disaster Recovery, SIP/VOIP connectivity, access to the Voice Peering Fabric, offsite storage for e-backups, and enhanced dual-site collocation clustering. By deploying an OC-12 connection to support its two data centers, River City can now move data between them at 600Mbps and the connection is designed to easily upgrade to GigE. The ultra-broadband connection will be supported by River City's newly purchased ECI Telecom's ST 200 Edge router platform to consolidate its switching, routing and subscriber management.

"By enabling MPLS, we can prioritize traffic based on service and QOS between the two sites, their associated connectivity and traffic loads with maximum speed and efficiency" Said River City's John Alden.
