Nashville Technology Council is on the News Tonight
Tune in at 5:00 p.m. to WKRN Channel 2 News tonight to hear Tod Fetherling, Nashville Technology Council President & CEO, discuss the Wireless Network planned for downtown Nashville. In its pilot phase, the system should provide a free outdoor signal within a 0.9-mile radius of the system’s main transmitter, which would be located at the Tech Council’s headquarters at Third Avenue and Commerce Street. This area will be the area east of Interstate 65, Interstate 40 West, Bicentennial Mall to the north and south past Korean Veterans Boulevard. The pilot phase should be beginning soon, and businesses interested in participating will only have to pay a one-time $200 fee to receive wireless access indefinitely.
This wireless mesh network will be implemented from networking company Meraki. Why Meraki? Not only is it trusted by 13,000 organizations worldwide, but this program has already been proven a success in a number of other cities just like Nashville. Tune in at 5:00 p.m. to find out more.
