SCSI-2 - http://wifinetnews.com/archives/004039.htmlGrand Haven, Mich., makes splash with full-city Wi-Fi coverage: Thisseems like yet another city announcement, but it might be the firstcity with this scale of access that 100-percent live and commerciallyavailable. (Dissenters, please write in.) While there are plans forCerritos, Santa Clara, and Chaska (Minnesota) to have full coverage,Grand Haven may have beaten them to full deployment.The folks at Ottawa Wireless sent out a press release full of thetechnical details, such as their support for 802.11a, b, and g, andthe fact that their service extends 15 miles into Lake Michigan,providing access for boaters and marinas. The coverage extends sixsquare miles across the town, and its optimized to handle VoIP; abeta test is in progress right now that will cost $30 per month forunlimited calling nationwide.The service has 300 subscribers at its formal launch out of a localpopulation of 12,000. However, the town sees two million -- yes,million -- visitors a year. Customers include the city, and publicsafety and health groups will eventually use the network.[Comment: And I think about 1� million of those visitors all try tojam into the town during the Coast Guard Festival the first part ofAugust. That would create problems in any small town, but Grand Havenis basically surrounded on three sides by water (Lake Michigan on thewest, the Grand River on the north and east) and there is only ONEaging drawbridge across the river, and every so often it gets stuckopen and you have to go about 15 miles east-southeast to get to thenext river crossing at Allendale. US-31 goes right through the centerof the city but it is a divided highway with traffic lights; there areplans to build an expressway bypass that would go to the east of thecity but the Granholm administration temporarily put that project onhold, virtually assuring something close to gridlock conditionscontinue to exist during the Coast Guard Festival for the foreseeablefuture.]Full story at:http://wifinetnews.com/archives/004039.html
