Xtreme Welcomes Adam to the Team!
Xtreme would like to announce the addition of our newest staff member, Adamo 'Adam' Zappone. Adam has recently come on board to fulfil the role of an additional IT support technician to assist in the resolution of customer issues and contribute to the speedier set up and configuration of hardware and software solutions for our customers. Having had a keen interest in computers all his life, with an emphasis on networking (especially network security) which he has been focused on for the past three years, Adam has a strong background in all areas of IT support, working with end users to provide infrastructure support and maintenance.
Adam took his interests in networking a step further by completing a Diploma of I.T and Networking at the Gold Coast Institute of TAFE. He has also built and configured numerous computers and home networks from scratch for both personal and businesses use. Xtreme welcomes Adam aboard and we are sure you will be seeing and hearing his name pop up in various communications related to servers, RMS, e-mail issues and Internet access in the near future.

Xtreme Emergency Internet Connections - Because "No Internet" can equal "No Business"
With the Internet these days being such an integral part of so many businesses, we know that any unexpected down time can leave a company crippled for the duration of the outage. Often, restoring an Internet connection can take anywhere from 2 hours to 2 weeks, depending on the cause. Xtreme has addressed this solution with our Emergency Internet Connection service. Available for implementation in the Gold Coast and Brisbane areas, our solution provides a superior, business-grade emergency Internet solution, giving maximum speeds, larger download limits and greater stability and reliability than simple wireless USB sticks
Some of the common causes of unexpected Internet outages include:
- Physical phone lines cut or water damaged
- Hardware failure
- Change of ownership
- Billing issues
- Carrier bankruptcy
Utilizing the high-end Ericsson W35 Next-G device and including a Wi-Fi router, coupled with a range of high rain antennas, we ensure you get the strongest possible signal required for continued, uninterrupted operation of your daily operations. In addition, as IT experts, Xtreme can assist with any on-site servers, devices, or surveillance equipment that needs technical attention.
The pricing for Xtreme's Emergency Internet Connection service starts at $150.00.
For individual cases, please contact us during listed operating hours for more information.

Xtreme Car Racing Simulators in Action
Due to a surprisingly high level of popularity and interest, Xtreme has put together a small promotional video showing our Xtreme Car Racing Simulators in action (click the "360" dropdown button to watch in High Definition).
Seamlessly networked together and allowing a true-to-life racing experience while not being exorbitantly expensive like many other similar products, the Car Racing Simulators are a great investment whether for business, promotional, personal entertainment, or trade show use. Built from a rigid steel chassis for mounting your steering wheel, pedals, shifter and sound system coupled with an extremely comfortable authentic racing car seat, the set up provides an optimal combination of comfort and stability. The system allows for the mounting of robust sound systems on the chassis for a completely authentic aural dirving experience, as sound is a critical element of a realistic simulation. Completely compatible with 5.1 surround sound systems, an Xtreme Racing Simulator will both visually and aurally blow you away!
Xtreme offers Car Racing Simulators for both rental and outright purchase. For more information or to lodge an inquiry, visit our Car Racing Simulators section here.
