City officials in Apopka, Florida have given the go-ahead to work out a contract with Motorola to develop a municipal wireless network.
The project, estimated to cost around $2.5 million, is expected to be up and running by the end of this year. Plans call for basic service to be free for users, with enhanced services available at an additional charge.
As with most networks of this type, Apopka officials believe it will bridge the digital divide and provide city employees and first responders access to information from virtually any location within the area.
