Tropos Networks and Veraloft have announced the launch of the Pacifica Net citywide Wi-Fi service in Pacifica, Calif. at a “Surf Wirelessly” event at the Pacifica Pier to celebrate this significant event for the city. Pacifica Net’s service offerings will focus on providing high-speed fixed and mobile Internet access for residential and business customers, in addition to enabling visitors and tourists to access the Internet, all at competitive prices. Pacifica customers can select form three symmetrical speed tiers of service; monthly pricing ranges from $19.95 for up to 1 Mbps to $39.95 for up to 3 Mbps.

“The network provides the community with a new high-speed Internet access alternative that is unique in that it can go anywhere a user goes around town. In addition, it modernizes the city’s public service infrastructure, increasing mobile worker efficiencies and delivering improved services to the community,” said Vreeland.

“The city of Pacifica and its leaders should be commended for recognizing the value of a citywide Wi-Fi network,” said Robert Hayes, president of Veraloft. “With thousands of people already using the service in homes, offices, coffee shops and parks, we’re seeing validation of what we felt was a uniquely compelling offering--a true broadband Internet access service that can be used all over town.”

The 5320 is an ideal solution as Pacifica’s terrain represents a challenge with mountains and numerous trees with foliage that varies throughout the year. The Tropos 5320 dynamically uses 802.11a and 802.11b/g links in the mesh layer, enabling the network to be responsive and intelligently adapt to changes in the environment, ensuring accessibility and high-speed performance for a positive, high reliability user experience.
