Comments on: Wi-Fi lessons learned in Tempe

The Arizona city has had its ups and downs with its ambitious municipal broadband project.

How much!

$29.95 a month for a wireless network I can't connect to. Where do I sign?
(Even if I could connect $29.95 is WAY too expensive).

Reality Bites...

The truth is, providing the service costs money. And maintaining it at a certain quality level costs more money.

WiFi WiMax Blend

Looks to me like the higher bandwidth and broader coverage
makes WiMax a great alternative to the Tempe Mesh Network
scheme. Police, Fire, Ambulance etc can utilize mobile WiMax
client devices that will perform more reliably and with greater
bandwidth. Underneath this would be the WiFi (hotspot) blanket
which would not need to be pressed into a difficult 100 percent
coverage. Instead it could be more limited to congregation
locations and residence and commercial WiMax to WiFi
conversion CPE equipment would guarantee better coverage
without the extensive "patching".

The one issue that WiMax raises is the need for spectrum
controlled by the city, but with analog TV spectrum coming
available in the future this may not be a problem. It all depends
on the politicians, ooops that might be a problem.
