MeshLinx Wireless announced Tuesday that Bay City residents and commercial constituents will be offered a new high-speed access to the Internet. The City will allow the company to use city owned infrastructure for placing their Access Points on in lieu of 150 free subscriber accounts for city personnel.

 

MeshLinx points out that the network offers higher speeds and better pricing than traditional last mile solutions such as DSL and Cable. Residents can access the system anywhere within the city.

 

“MeshLinx is bringing the most advanced Wi-Fi network to Bay City enabling his city to showcase many new applications valuable to both city government and first responders as well as a new level of connectivity for Bay City residents,” said Doug Goodman, Bay Cities IT Director in a statement.

 

The company explains that the MeshLinx network solution consists of one device called an Access Point (News - Alert). These devices are identical whether they are being used for a gateway connection, point-to point or for extending the networks reach to cover the entire city. Access Point is placed on existing infrastructure such as light poles, electricity poles, buildings and sometimes even residential homes.

 

The MeshLinx network will help mitigate issues such as dense trees or buildings. The company further explains that when the network is designed and the pre-installation work on node placements and gateway aggregation points is complete, the Access Points are plugged in and the network forms itself.

 

MeshLinx Wireless plans to install the new network in Bay City in phases and has scheduled to bring some areas online by the end of 2007.

 

Jack Harrod, MeshLinx CEO said that MeshLinx will be utilizing a true software configurable radio solution (SCR) with a backhaul speed unrivaled by any other mesh vendor. The technology solution will produce the highest possible bandwidth, flexibility and reliability beyond the reach of any other mesh network in existence.

 

MeshLinx Inc. (MeshLinx) is an Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) of Mesh Wireless Technologies, a network owner/operator and a total network solution provider.
