Abstract:
Unwired Holdings, designed, deployed and operates the state-of-the-art broadband wireless mesh network for Groningen under the name “Groningen Unwired”. Currently in its pilot phase, the project is moving toward the full deployment of a citywide wireless mesh broadband network to serve the entire Groningen Community. The Akkoord of Groningen, a foundation consisting of the Hanze Polytechnic (Hanzehogeschool), University of Groningen (RuG), and the City of Groningen, is the project initiator. Alcadis, the European distributor of Strix Systems assisted Unwired with the design and deployment of the network. The foundation of the network is Strix Access/One OWS products deployed at the city center enabling access by students and faculty — approximately 40,000 people. The network is meshed in areas central to the Hanze Polytechnic (Hanzehogeschool), University of Groningen, the cities teaching hospital UMCG and the municipality. "We’re testing and implementing a large number of applications that benefit from this high performance wireless network, including those needed by the municipality itself, public safety surveillance projects, mobile work force and much more." said Mitchell Kleinhandler, Managing Director of Unwired.
