US Border Patrol gets Wi-Fi:
The Wi-Fi First Responder Pilot Project is giving emergency personnel
high-speed access to the Internet along the Canamex Corridor near
Arizona's southern border. The project, which went live this month,
spans a 30-mile stretch of Interstate 19 from Green Valley in Pima
County to Rio Rico in Santa Cruz County. Its goal is to increase access
to telecommunications for first responders and rural areas.
The Wi-Fi pilot project was funded by a $500,000 grant from the Federal
Department of Homeland Security's Information Technology and Evaluation
Program in May 2004. The state is partnering with the Arizona
Telecommunications and Information Council on the project. ATIC helped
oversee the technology's installation, making sure the grant's
requirements were met.

The first phase of a citywide wireless Internet network in Chandler, AZ,
is poised to go live, and a similar system in Gilbert, AZ, is not far
behind. Both Chandler and Gilbert are working with Bethesda, Md.-based
MobilePro, and its subsidiaries NeoReach Wireless and Kite Networks, to
build the country's largest contiguous wireless network. When completed
in spring 2007, the network, which will dovetail with Tempe's existing
MobilePro technology, will cover 187 square miles -- or five times its
present size, said Kite Networks' Alan Crancer. Tempe's network was
fully deployed in February.
