Today's focus: WLAN access turned up in Daytona Beach

By Jeff Caruso

For some reason, really warm places like their Wi-Fi. Five
months ago I wrote about a wireless LAN setup in the Netherlands
Antilles; this week we have wireless technology in Daytona
Beach, Fla.

Vivato, Access AnyPlace and Pronto Networks teamed up to create
this net. Access AnyPlace is the wireless ISP. Vivato's base
stations and access points make up the hardware in the network.
And Pronto provides the operations support system software and
controller that manage user access, billing and roaming.

The target area is five square miles of Daytona Beach. There are
three Vivato base stations and 10 "microcell" access points.

Access AnyPlace says it chose Vivato's equipment because it
delivers high throughput with a small number of access points.
Vivato uses phased-array antennas and a technology that provides
up to 12 times the coverage of competing Wi-Fi systems, the
company says.

Access AnyPlace chose Pronto's OSS software because it is
scalable and offers users a "superior" experience, Access
AnyPlace said in a statement.

The important question, of course, is what is Daytona Beach
going to actually do with the wireless net?

Local businesses, residents and tourists will be able to get
access. The majority of Daytona Beach's hotels - 70% - don't
provide Internet access. The hope is that visitors will be able
to use the WLAN to get to the Internet from their hotels. Public
safety officials will also be able to use the network. The
Pronto system will allow these different groups to share the
network while having different QoS guarantees and customized
service plans.

This effort comes as other public Wi-Fi efforts suffered
setbacks - such as Verizon's recent decision to tear down its
wireless connections in New York. But maybe the real problem is
that New York isn't in a warm enough climate.

What you need to know about maximizing app performance across
the WAN

When deploying and accessing enterprise apps over the WAN
performance can be fickle. IT organizations agree consolidating
operations into single data centers to support users across the
extended enterprise is best.
