Southlake, a suburb of Dallas, Texas, is also using Wi-Fi for video surveillance in its downtown area. They are using equipment from Bridgwave Communications; the systems integrator is Redmoon, a wireless ISP based in Plano, Texas.

There has been much talk about the Sprint/Clearwire WiMAX joint venture and the many players involved. Significant speculation and cheerleading for the seven telecommunications partners as to their ability to expand the WiMAX service across the United States have shown up in nearly every national news line or blog.

I don’t know if the survey results on Muniwireless are representative of people (in general) who would buy WiMAX service, or if my readers in particular have been reduced to a penurious state by the slowdown in the municipal wireless market, but I am surprised to see that 57 percent will not pay more than [...]
The San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) is negotiating with Sacramento-based Wi-Fi Rail for the installation of Wi-Fi access in BART trains that traverse the Bay Area.
