IP Democracy: Cisco Aims for City-Wide Wi-Fi

The municipal broadband market shows no signs of slowing down, much to the dismay of incumbent cable and phone companies. The latest sign that city-supplied Wi-Fi is here to stay: Cisco has thrown its hat into the ring.

According to this CNET piece, the mighty networking giant is entering a market that has to date been dominated by small suppliers. Cisco will announce today a new product line called the Aironet 1500 series, which will use mesh technology to communicate with each other and determine the best path for traffic.
