WIND WIRELESS AND MIKROTIK - HIGH IMPACT/LOW INVESTMENT
SPOKANE, WA December 27, 2004 - Wind Wireless, Inc. of Spokane,
Washington announced the completion of their latest project, a free
access wireless internet system that
encompasses over 2,200 square miles. Often called WiFi Hotspots,
these Internet access systems are often found at airports and coffee
houses, allowing people with small radio cards in portable computers
to use the Internet. The city of Spokane has been getting a lot
of press coverage for a ten by ten block hotspot it built at a cost
of $75,000. The Wind Wireless system uses Mikrotik equipment and
the company spent under $30,000. The Wind system is capable of delivering
speeds up to 4 megabits per second.
“We have
a lot of control and tracking capabilities,” said Bob Kirkpatrick,
Wind Wireless’ Chief of Technology. “Mikrotik allows
us to have a lot more security and
utility than anything else out there. For price, utility, security
and reliability you just can’t beat it.”
Wind Wireless
uses Mikrotik routers exclusively throughout their ISP. “We
don’t have Cisco anymore,” reports Wind President Chuck
Myers. “You spend a lot and then find
you still don’t have the capabilities we’re getting
from Mikrotik.”
The Wind Wireless
service uses 21 Mikrotik access point transmitters to provide coverage,
offering speeds of up to 4 megabits per second. Using the 2.4-gigahertz
license free band, the system is free of charge for all to use.
Wind Wireless also distributes and supports Mikrotik equipment.
Since 1989, Wind Wireless, Inc. has provided consulting and web
design, wired and wireless equipment, and turnkey systems to individuals,
businesses and governments nationwide. For more information visit
