    city
  • Network serves 400-500 users per day
  • Local college students and residents access the
    internet for free from anywhere across one square
    mile

It took less than 30 days from sitting downtown
having a hot dog and talking about free WiFi, to
having a fully functional wireless
network. Steve Pierce, Wireless Ypsilanti

Example Network Drury High School, MA
  • Results
  • Network deployed in 2 days at 10 cost of other
    solutions

Its uniquely suited to the education
environment. Everything else is too expensive for
a cash-strapped public school system to deploy,
let alone to administer. Shaun Meredith, Drury
