City Of Tempe Selects Strix For City-Wide Wi-Fi Mesh Network: "Strix Systems, the leader in high-performance wireless mesh networking, today announced that the City of Tempe, AZ has selected its Access/One Network Outdoor Wireless System (OWS) for its city-wide Wi-Fi deployment. The deployment was won in partnership with MobilePro, a wireless technology and broadband telecommunications company, and will be branded WazTempe. The installation will use Strix's multi-radio, multi-channel, and multi-RF mesh solution; the highest capacity mesh solution deployed anywhere today. The City of Tempe selected the Strix solution in order to support a true multi-use network, which will provide secure Wi-Fi access for businesses, residents, and guests, as well as a separate network for municipal workers. This tandem network will ensure that, while residents enjoy Wi-Fi access, every police car and fire truck in the city -- each of which will be equipped with a Wi-Fi enabled laptop -- will have an always-on connection to a private, secure network."
