Like other technologies, the preamble of wireless technology has broadened the benefits of broadband wireless communications to new applications and customers. As it continues to progress, the power, flexibility, and low cost of wireless technology will take broadband wireless into markets and applications unthinkable just a few years ago. BioVLAN’s services enable municipalities and WISPs to rapidly and efficiently enter the market, while supporting all back-end operations.
Attracting new business, increasing tourism, improving public safety, and providing new services to residents are among the top priorities on the Municipalities’ agenda. A way to achieve these objectives in the community would be to provide wireless broadband access. Not only will that show that the Municipality cares about the community, but it will also show that the Municipality keeps up with the changes in technology.
In summary, BioVLAN Networks public WLAN solutions can help the City achieve cost effective solutions for the public and turn it into revenue generator at the same time to benefit city’s residents. For instance, BioVLAN’s Wireless hot zone solution has been deployed in many high-profile cities across the U.S., above all in communities that did not have broadband access previously, and have assisted cities to provide secure, broadband access to all its constituencies.
