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 |
« Biting the Hand that Feeds You | Weblog | Big and Small Can Coexist » Progress UpdateFollowing the launch of the WIKIMETRONET at the start of this month - check it out if you haven't already - I've had my head down working on three projects, so I haven't been blogging. Austin Wireless Network - With a week to go for the start of the World Congress on IT, there's lots of excitement in the air. I'm told the city has mounted a total of 17 of the 80 some odd Cisco Aironet 1500 Wi Fi Mesh nodes that Cisco donated to provide downtown wireless coverage during the event. My client Cellnet is prepping a network to complement the city's, and we are nearing completion of our Pole Attachment agreement with the City's electric utility department, Austin Energy. They have been good to work with, but this is a pioneering effort and it's taking more time than anyone would like, client and city alike. I'll write an article on this as the process is completed. Very instructional, to say the least. NANOnet - I will launch a new site in the next day or so to announce an alternative direction for metropolitan broadband - my new mantra is "Small is Good, Simple is Better." Again, I'll blog more about this upcoming service offer in the next day or so when the website is launched. It will be a busy week, as I'm also a delegate to the WCIT, so lots of preparation to make the most out of next week's 80-hour workweek, when the world comes to Austin. The launch of NANOnet completes the three legged stool I envisioned when I launched MetroNetIQ nearly three months ago and WikiMetroNet one month ago. I intended to address what I percieve as gaps in this very new market, and it's exciting to see this vision being realized. 1. An education and resource website - MetroNetIQ Stay Tuned!
