AT&T Inc. announced that AT&T Internet Services has just made broadband Internet access portable. The company has introduced its first deployment of AT&T Metro Wi-Fi, a citywide Wi-Fi access service, across a 3-square-mile portion of Riverside that includes downtown Riverside, Hunter Technology Park and the Adams Auto Center.
AT&T Metro Wi-Fi adds publicly accessible wireless broadband capabilities to the advanced AT&T communications network available in Riverside. The mesh, wireless broadband Internet access network in Riverside includes both a consumer and business solution and a municipal public safety network for use by city agencies. Once fully built out, AT&T Metro Wi-Fi in Riverside will be the nation's largest Wi-Fi deployment for both municipal and public use.
AT&T Metro Wi-Fi offers users a subscription-based high speed Internet access service at $7.99 for a daily (24 hours) pass and $15.99 for a weekly pass. Also included is a free, ad-supported broadband service offered through an AT&T relationship with MetroFi, a leading provider of free wireless Internet access.
In addition to other municipal applications, the City of Riverside is testing the service to run video to and from police department patrol cars. Officers also will use the public safety network for computer-aided dispatch, automated vehicle location and high-speed communications for queries to integrated justice databases to provide detailed information previously unavailable in the field.
