The wireless network planned for Yuma will initially cover a portion of
the city's total 106 square miles. The network will provide state-of-the-art
technology to the City of Yuma, its residents, businesses and more than
80,000 estimated annual visitors. The network will enable a range of fee-based
services and provide secure high-speed access to data, voice and video.
Subscription services will be offered on an annual, monthly, daily or hourly
basis and will allow access to multiple Internet service providers.
Subscribers will be able to access the wireless network from anywhere, at
any time, within the coverage area. All Wi-Fi-enabled devices will have free
access to the network landing page, which will contain information about the
service and instructions on how to connect, and the city's website,
http://www.ci.yuma.az.us . Deployment of the Yuma network is scheduled to
begin in late 2006. Additional information is available at
http://www.wazmetro.com .
Yuma Mayor Larry Nelson said, "This venture brings a new cost-effective,
high-tech, wireless broadband service to our citizens and businesses, enabling
us to 'break-the-wires' and access information across the city without being
tied to a desk. This capability will enable Yuma city employees to more
effectively provide services without cost to the taxpayer, and provide mobile
Internet access for anyone in Yuma at minimal cost."
Jon Steadman, executive vice president and chief operating officer for
MobilePro's wireless group, said, "We believe that high-speed Internet access
is an essential service for rapidly growing communities like Yuma. Yuma is the
fourth of many Arizona cities that we look forward to serving with our retail
partners and providing attractive bundled service plans and mobility."
