In the past few weeks the OneCommunity technical team has begun installation of the WiMax layer of the Connect Akron Fiber Optic/WiMax/Wi-Fi Network. Our team is still in the process of selecting utility mounting and power locations but as soon as the initial decisions are made we will post them on the network map. We are also working with more than half a dozen organizations to gain roof access and power agreements. These organizations include public schools, the library, and the Metropolitan Housing Authority.
In addition to the beginning the installation of the network, a team of public safety representatives from the City of Akron will be scheduling a meeting with Ohio Edison and First Energy to develop the use of the Connect Akron Network for Smart Grid technology trials and deployment in the near future.” Also remove the Knight Center of Digital Excellence tag.
