City unveils new wireless network
By the Associated Press
Oklahoma City officials are unveiling what they're calling the largest city owned and operated Wi-Fi mesh network in the world.
The $5 million network system covers a 555-square-mile area. It was funded with money from a public safety capital sales tax and city capital improvement funds.

A demonstration of the new network was scheduled Tuesday afternoon at City Hall.

The network will be used for public safety and other city operations, but does not currently provide wireless Internet access to the public.

Police officers can use the network to access real-time data, while fire officials can locate water hydrants and review site maps and floor plans while responding to fires or accidents.
