In this installment of Rory Conaway’s “Tales From The Towers”, he discusses the different types of antennas that can be used for large scale Wi-Fi networks. Before we continue developing the system further, it’s a good idea to discuss all the various antenna designs that go into a municipal design process. I’ve described one type [...]
I’ve been posting a lot of articles about railway operators deploying Wi-Fi, ferry companies providing Wi-Fi access to passengers and transport companies in general upgrading their wireless infrastructure.

Freedom4, a joint venture between Pipex Communications and [...]
The New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority has issued a public tender to install Wi-Fi in commuter trains. Cablevision is bidding aggressively for the project because they can give free Wi-Fi access to their customers, thereby reducing churn and at the same time, enticing others to subscribe to their cable service. Non-Cablevision subscribers will have [...]
The RUS has released a report summarizing Round 1 of the broadband stimulus awards given under the Broadband Initiatives Program (BIP). The report shows the amount of money given for last mile and middle mile projects, the type of technologies that received funding, and descriptions of the projects in each state.

While we still don’t have any concrete details on how many HTC EVO 4G smartphones Sprint has sold so far, it’s safe to assume that a lot of them have gone out the door — and according to a Sprint exec at a WiMAX symposium Tuesday, some 40,000 of those devices are now using the Fring [...]
