City to test wireless hotspots [New Vision (Uganda)](New Vision (Uganda) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Riverside's old free wireless network has been dismantled, but new high-speed Internet hotspots will be tested at City Hall and the Ysmael Villegas Community Center. In May, City Council members opted to scrap the seven-year-old network, which never reached its goal of citywide coverage and is now considered obsolete. On Tuesday, they voted to hire Rancho Cucamonga-based Vector USA for $95,434 to provide two hotspots as a pilot project. The hotspots will provide free Internet access for people in and around City Hall and the Villegas Center. Using a management system called ClearPass, the city can track use of the hotspots and block inappropriate use. COPYRIGHT (c) 2014 NEWVISION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.
