DALLAS, Feb. 15, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- IElement Corporation (OTCBB:IELM) (Frankfurt:SZQ1) (Frankfurt:IELM), a nationwide provider of advanced communications services and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) solutions, announced today that for the month of January 2007 the company's revenue increased more than 50 percent over December 2006 and surpassed an annualized $5 million for the first time since IElement has been publicly traded. January revenue totaled $432,483 as compared to $287,766 in December. February projects to be consistent with or higher than January.
The sharp revenue increase is a direct result of the 1,500 new business customers IElement closed in late December. The company expects to further increase revenue in the coming months by tapping into this new customer base in the form of direct sales and "selling through" to all of its business customers.
Since most of these new customers are solely receiving wireless internet service from IElement, the company sees an excellent opportunity to upgrade their services and introduce new "Enterprise" applications to these SMB customers. The primary push will be to sell them IElement VoIP or other traditional voice services. In an attempt to further differentiate itself from the rest of the marketplace, IElement is going to offer Enterprise Managed Services to its customers. Some of these enterprise Managed Services include Microsoft Exchange, anti-virus/anti-spam solutions (both managed onsite and hosted), on site IT consulting, remote LAN Management, off site data replication, off site backup & disaster recovery, L2PN wide-area networking and other advanced telecommunications services and applications.
In addition to adding customers and revenue in January, IElement gained access to five new markets. A majority of the new customers are located in Florida, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Mississippi and Alabama, all new markets for IElement.
IElement acquired the 1,500 new business customers via a management contract signed on December 27, 2006 with Sutioc Enterprises, Inc., a management and consulting company. Sutioc owns 50.1% of US Wireless Online, Inc. (Pink Sheets:UWRL), one of the nation's largest wireless internet service providers, and US Wireless Online's customers are now under IElement's management.
