Bar 51 Opens in Auburn

Posted by AUNewser on July 26th, 2007

Bar 51 opened its doors last night to the public. From the outside and pictures I’ve seen on the inside, this place looks really cool.

They are open Monday - Saturday, 4:00pm - 2:00am. They also have a website @ www.bar51.net but it must still be a work in progress since it only has the operating hours and a note saying that it’s now open :-)

Feel free to shoot me an email (or post a comment) and let me know what you thought of the newest bar in Auburn!

Wireless company Aerowire opens in Auburn

Posted by AUNewser on July 25th, 2007

Aerowire, a company specializing in wireless broadband systems, has started up in Auburn.

“We’re local folks doing business locally,” said Aerowire president F.D. “Butch” Brock. “When you call our customer service, you’ll be talking to someone right here in Auburn.”

The company hopes to capitalize on the burgeoning wireless market. ABI Research, a leading market analysis and technology industry adviser, estimates that more than 325 million converged WiFi/cellular phones will be shipped by 2011. This represents a 183 percent annual growth rate from the 1.8 million shipped in 2006. In total, more than 200 million WiFi equipped products sold last year.

Brock said even with out the statistics, WiFi’s popularity would just be common sense.

“Why tether yourself to a cable or telephone cord in your home, apartment or office when wireless technology gives you the freedom to move about while still maintaining access to your work or loved ones?” he said.

First Realty Property Management currently manages some 1,500 units in the Auburn area and plans a target rollout of the WiFi service in a two- to three-block area around the Auburn University campus.
