FEATURED TOPICDigital Transition -The term "Digital Transition" describes the process all organizations must go through in the 21st Century, as they leverage new technologies that provide new options for Applications, Equipment, Processes, and Networks that make them more effective. In contrast, the term "Municipal Wireless" is limiting. It puts the network technology ahead of the application and process changes that drive the business case. ORIENTATION |
« When in Doubt, Farm it Out | Weblog | Digital Divide Growing? » Texas: Addison Teams with RedMoon BBAddison launches citywide Wi-Fi The City of Addison had a party yesterday, launching their wireless network in partnership with local wireless firm Red Moon Broadband. Red Moon has had success by building networks in a ring around Dallas, going where Internet access coverage can be spotty, but populations are dense and in need of broadband. But Addison is a new, more public-focused approach for Red Moon. This time they are working directly with the city to bring broad public wireless coverage with mesh networking equipment provided by Tropos Networks, not only providing affordable wireless broadband Internet access, but also providing coverage for public events, for the airport in Addison, etc. Given the growing acceptance of this public/private approach, I would expect to see more and more deployments like this in the days, weeks, and months ahead.
