NYC Wireless Network Tackles Both Roadkill and Terrorism Northrop Grumman's 'NYCWIN' network aids cleanup, safety.... The New York Times notes that the city's new $500 million high-speed wireless secure data network can, among other uses, expedite the disposal of dead opossum. The city's NYCWIN network, built by Northrop Grumman, includes some 400 cellular antennas (see pic) covering 95 percent of the city, with nineteen city agencies developing about 53 unique applications for the UMTS-based network. State Technology Magazine has a bit more detail on the network's surveillance uses.

The govt will know where all cars are at all times, and possibly who is inside the cars (if cameras good enough). | |

Valencia, CA | Re: 1 interesting fact Seeing that it runs UMTS, there's no reason that it couldn't.
Interesting name for the network 'NYCWIN'
Sounds more like 'Nice Win', which would have been more appropriate to Northrop's contract.
