Anaheim Announces Citywide Wireless Coverage Initiative


April 17, 2007 By

Anaheim, Calif., Mayor Curt Pringle today announced a citywide wireless service coverage initiative to ensure all major cellular phone companies are able to provide full coverage through Anaheim's 50 square miles.

"It's only fitting that the United States' largest municipal Wi-Fi city would have complete and total coverage for all wireless devices, including cellular telephones," said Pringle.

The mayor will ask city staff to work with the major cellular phone service providers to determine where coverage areas may be lacking and identify ways the city may be able to help expand their services within the city limits. The mayor's goal is complete and total coverage with all major providers by the end of 2007.

Anaheim has made technology a key priority in recent years. Other technology initiatives include a city agreement with AT&T to provide new television service via residential phone lines and a partnership with EarthLink to create the nation's first municipal Wi-Fi system.
