| | Licensed Frequencies I hope they use licensed frequencies and not the normal WiFi ones. Something that has mission-critical uses needs to be very reliable,

kudos:68 | This is nothing new.... The City of Perryville, MO has the same thing to talk to water towers. They do theirs with radio modem cards in the master computer, and the remotes. The master communcations computer talks to all the towers on a radio frequency. | |

| | Corpus on wifi Actually I'm pretty impressed with CC. When I lived there in the 80's I considered Corpus one of the most backwards city governments that existed. Last March when I was there for a business conference I couldn't believe it when I opened my laptop and I was on muni wi-fi for free! This is a great step forward. I've also noticed the city services like parks & rec showing signs of life again. Corpus is a beautiful city that needs a saavy government to attract tourism, conferences, and new business to the area. I would love to move back someday when they get their act together and have real jobs that pay real money. | |

Mount Airy, MD | Emergency Services A BAD Excuse for Wasting $23M Anyone with half-a-brain knows that the last thing that emergency services should rely upon is an unlicensed and unpredictably used spectrum for wireless services. What happens if Joe-Shmoe happens to tune is access point to the same channel used by the municipal wireless racket and the emergency services can no longer use the wireless access?
I am sure that emergency services in Corpus Christi, TX are not so inept that they would need to rely on something like WiFi to save peoples lives. This sounds like yet another "think of the children" or "the terrorists will win" excuse to waste a huge wad of taxpayer cash.

911 dials IP technology

Last year's hurricanes along the southeastern coast of the United States highlighted how fragile and woefully outdated the emergency communications system in this country has become.
Now some experts who are building and maintaining 911 networks believe that upgrading emergency systems to Internet Protocol technology could make them hardier and more reliable. That is, if someone would step up to pay for it.
"Lots of things went wrong during the natural disasters of 2005," said Rick Jones, operations issues director for the nonprofit group NENA. "It was a wake-up call for the whole country that we aren't diverse enough in our emergency communications system."
