Public WiFi

The wait for affordable high-speed Internet access in your town is over! With a complete turnkey solution from WindChannel, municipalities can build a “Wi-Fi Cloud” to stimulate economic development and enhance community revitalization projects. WindChannel is the leader in municipal Wi-Fi deployments and build-outs of private networks for municipalities.

Take your community to the cutting edge of Wireless Technology! Local governments are using IEEE 802.11 standard-based Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) to attract new business, increase tourism, and better serve the community. WindChannel works with governments to provide affordable, easily deployable wireless networks.

Business Results
Leveraging a visionary town council, resourceful IT management team, and creative local service providers, towns are deploying these innovative technologies in increasingly larger numbers. With the evolution of IEEE standards, these architectures offer solutions that are more secure, reliable, and with a more vast coverage area than any Telco offering. Additionally, they are easily deployed with minimal cost outlay.

Cost Recovery
By providing these wireless services to visitors, residents, and city workers for far less than alternative options, WindChannel helps you navigate the highest best use of capital available and provides the ability to recover the cost of the infrastructure with “up sell” options to the public. In addition, the manpower savings realized from public safety and works efficiencies in the field, whether through cameras for traffic and surveillance or in-vehicle applications to better serve and protect, significantly reduce the time wasted returning to town facilities for network access throughout the day.

Downtown Revitalization
Successful downtown development programs interconnect important elements of the community including businesses, retailers, citizens and government resources.

Economic Development
High-speed wireless Internet access offers tremendous economic development benefits. In our hyper-competitive world, every municipality is looking for an edge to attract and retain industry for the benefit of local residents.

Mobile Professionals
More than ever, business professionals are on the go and need to stay connected via the Internet. Municipalities that can offer industry the ability to stay connected with ubiquitous, wireless technology will stand apart from cross-town rivals. If wireless Internet access is available downtown, mobile professionals will take advantage of the service while supporting area establishments.
