Muncipal WiFi Networks

Many municipalities are finding that wireless Internet access is a way to enhance public safety and improve security surveillance on a tight budget. As a bonus, high-speed Internet access in public areas offers an attractive amenity for business people and tourists, encouraging "dwell" time in downtown retail and entertainment districts.

Traditionally however, wireless networks have had to be installed within reach of a hard-wired backhaul network. This required pulling new fiber or Ethernet cable which, in a municipal environment, is extremely expensive, time-consuming, disruptive, and downright difficult.

Rightway Online is excited about the opportunity to partner with municipalities who desire to deploy and implement a wireless mesh network in a controlled setting or on a much broader scale.

Rightway Online has partnered with BelAir Networks to provide wireless networking solutions built on a patented cellular LAN architecture, which integrates wireless access with wireless backhaul in an innovative multi-radio mesh to provide a high-capacity wireless backbone.

The Rightway Online Municipal WiFi Solutions are based on a scaleable wireless internetworking platform that can be used to build large-scale WiFi networks from single, private buildings to carrier grade, city-wide metro networks.

The individual units or nodes are encased in a compact, environmentally hardened outdoor package, and available in multiple configurations. The units are designed to be deployed outdoors to provide WiFi coverage in nearby buildings or over large outdoor areas. It can be used as a standalone device, or as part of the patented BelAir Networks multiple point-to-point wireless mesh.

Whereas the majority of WiFi networking equipment and networks, are based on a single radio concept, the equipment used by Rightway Online is uniquely positioned in the marketplace by being based off a modular and flexible multi-radio/dual-radio/single-radio concept which allows both scale and price goals to be achieved.
Upon the completion of the BelAir Network Training Program on May 12, 2005, Rightway Online became the first and only VAR for BelAir Networks in South Texas.
