Lebanon
The wireless cloud is moving closer to Lebanon. The City of
Lebanon has reached an agreement with Consumer Power to install the
remaining 12 to 15 wireless access points necessary for
citywide wireless coverage. Police officers and public works
crews will use the system, and every citizen and visitor will
get 10 free hours of use each month. The city expects payback
of its initial investment in four years, says city technology
manager Tom Oliver, by receiving 6% of revenue from accounts
using more than the free hours. Lebanon was able to purchase
the equipment at a discount by partnering with Cisco as a beta
test site for a municipal wireless project.
