So Cal Wireless Users Group - 50th meeting is in less than 2 weeks - 5G Wireless presents wide area wireless
Mike Outmesguine
However you express it, this month marks SOCALWUG meeting number *fifty*! I
never imagined what started as a wild idea posed by two Wi-Fi enthusiasts
would become practically an institution spanning several years. Frank Keeney
and I hosted the first meeting in May 2002! See the historical archives
here: http://www.socalwug.org/past_events.htm
For our next meeting, we lined up 5G Wireless to showcase their muni- and
campus-wide Wi-Fi solutions. 5G promises in-building coverage and wide area
access from a single pole mounted installation. They will tell us how they
achieve this feat and will give us a glimpse into their plans addressing the
growing municipal wireless trend.
Share and enjoy!
