The City of Corpus Christi, Texas used automated wireless meter reading as their springboard application to get a municipal wireless network up and running. Because of its success, the city is now moving forward to utilize the network for other purposes such as video surveillance, a mobile workforce for public safety, health and building inspection, automated vehicle location and emergency response medical records access.
"What started as a 20 square mile proof of concept for our meter reading project, is now growing into a 147 square mile metro-scale Wi-Fi mesh network to provide affordable broadband access for education, public safety, economic development and social equality."
