Time Warner Cable deploying Cisco, Ruckus Wi-Fi gear in New York City
June 27, 2013 | By Steve Donohue

Time Warner Cable (NYSE: TWC) said it will deploy up to 10,000 Wi-Fi access points in New York City by the end 2013, using gear from Cisco (Nasdaq: CSCO) and Ruckus Wireless.

Marking one of its biggest Wi-Fi rollouts yet, the MSO said Thursday that it had already installed 1,700 hotspots in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island, and that it will deploy 1,000 TWC Wi-Fi hotspots in Manhattan by mid-July. Subscribers from Comcast (Nasdaq: CMCSA), Cablevision (NYSE: CVC) and other operators in the CableWiFi consortium will be able to use the hotspots for free. Time Warner Cable has installed 12,000 hotspots in Southern California, and also has hotspots in markets such as Austin, Texas, and Charlotte, N.C.

The announcement comes two days after Jefferies analyst Thomas Seitz predicted that major cable MSOs would soon shake up the wireless data sector with "a disruptive, Wi-Fi/MVNO [Mobile Virtual Network Operator]"-based service that would appeal to consumers who want to surf the Web on mobile devices without relying on usage-based data plans from mobile phone carriers.
