Broadband-Wireless Business Opportunities
 Houston Wi-Fi RFI Responses Due March 20, 2008
The City of Houston (COH) has implemented substantial municipal wireless broadband network infrastructure to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of key City operations. The City intends to expand this municipal network to further advance City operations, public safety, bridge the digital divide, and promote economic opportunities.
The CoH wireless broadband service requirements fall into three categories:
1. High speed mobile broadband
2. Fixed (line of sight) wireless broadband
3. Roaming/fixed (non line of sight) high speed broadband.
