Improved wireless performance and coverage to address city employees,
residents, and business professionals in popular Dallas suburb
Kanata, Ontario, Canada -- BelAir Networks, the leading provider of
mobile broadband multi-service wireless mesh network solutions, today
announced the company’s award-winning infrastructure equipment will be
used to create a powerful wireless broadband network in the Town of
Addison, Texas to deliver cost-effective broadband access to the city’s
employees, residents and businesses. The new network, replacing an
existing network deployed in 2005, will be able to provide the coverage,

public access requirements and future public works services. The network

The Town of Addison is a
vibrant community, located 13 miles north of downtown Dallas, and home
to both start-up companies and headquarters of major corporations
including Pizza Hut, Mary Kay Cosmetics, CompUSA and Palm Harbor Homes.
Within its compact urban center, Addison features a unique combination
of towering office buildings, upscale shopping, beautifully landscaped
residential communities, award-winning parks, 22 hotels and more than
170 restaurants, all within a five minute drive from anywhere in town.
“We looked at a number of options before deciding to replace our current
network with BelAir Networks gear and the deciding factor was their
proven, industry-leading performance and reliability and the fact that
they back those up with both a warranty and a service level agreement,”
stated Bryan Thompson, CEO, RedMoon Inc. “With BelAir Networks, we can
address the coverage, performance and reliability issues that led to
customer complaints and we can now expand our service offerings to
include a full range of public safety and public works applications, in
addition to public access.”
The network will cover over four square miles and will be fully
installed before the end of 2007. It will utilize 170 BelAir wireless
mesh nodes including both BelAir100 and BelAir200 variants and provide
average public access speeds of over 1 Megabit per second.
“We’re really impressed with RedMoon’s commitment to support The Town of
Addison’s current and future networking needs and we’re happy to support
their requirement for reliable, consistent coverage and performance that
addresses increasingly sophisticated public access, public works and
public safety applications,” stated Jim Freeze, Senior Vice President,
Marketing and Alliances, BelAir Networks. “Our comprehensive wireless
product portfolio and carrier-grade, multi-service architecture has
consistently proven to deliver high quality, high performance services
quickly and easily in leading cities around the world.”
BelAir offers the industry’s first and only Service Level Agreement
