Boingo^® Ready MetroZone Pilot Pack

Today, cities want to cost effectively roll out citywide Wi-Fi MetroZones to increase city worker productivity while providing low cost Internet access to residents and visitors and facilitating economic development. To meet this municipal need for secure IP-based access and a service delivery platform for mixed-use applications, Pronto Networks and Tropos Networks have created a solution that brings complementary carrier-class metro-scale Wi-Fi mesh network technology and Operations Support System (OSS) software together. Now, with this joint solution, cities can quickly deploy a metroscale Wi-Fi mesh network for public safety and offer Internet access to capture revenue from businesses and residents.

Tropos and Pronto have developed the MetroZone Pilot Pack for cities that want to deploy Wi-Fi at a low cost of entry in a localized area of 1/3 to 1/2 square mile. The Kit is a turnkey solution that comes pre-packaged from one vendor with all the components needed to get a Wi-Fi network up and running within hours.

The joint solution is Boingo® Ready, which enables access by Boingo's subscribers and those of Boingo's platform services partners, and for the city to get paid by Boingo for such network traffic. As well, the joint solution provides an advanced service delivery platform for emerging value-added services such as voice services, location-based content management, online gaming, music downloads, advertising and much more. The solution is based on many successful deployments in municipalities today, and is grounded in standards to ensure compatibility with evolving technology. It also offers an upgrade path to grow with additional users.
