GO Networks, a global leader in carrier-grade outdoor Wi-Fi solutions, and subsidiary of NextWave Wireless Inc. (NASDAQ: WAVE), today announced that Coastside Net has completed the upgrade of its downtown Half Moon Bay, CA, outdoor Wi-Fi network using GO Networks’ innovative Mobile Broadband Wireless (MBW) products and technologies. The new network utilizes GO Networks’ state-of-art MBW 2000 series micro cell and MBW 1000 series pico cell outdoor Wi-Fi base stations to boost network coverage and capacity, reduce interference, and lower costs. Coastside Net is a full-service Internet Service Provider (ISP) serving the municipality of Half Moon Bay, California.
Since 2001, Coastside Net has provided wireless Internet access for the downtown area of Half Moon Bay, a city located between California’s Silicon Valley and San Francisco. The coastal city is world famous for its fall pumpkin festival that attracts over 250,000 people annually.
In response to Coastside Net’s requirement to expand the range and coverage of its existing Wi-Fi network, GO Networks supplied Coastside Net with advanced Wi-Fi network equipment powered by the company’s innovative xRFTM adaptive beamforming smart antenna technology. By deploying the GO Network solution, which outperformed its existing system by a factor of two to one, Coastside Net was able to significantly reduce the number of Wi-Fi access points required and profit from a major reduction in upfront deployment and ongoing operating costs.
“Our partnership with GO Networks enables us to quickly and economically offer better wireless services to the businesses, residents and visitors of downtown Half Moon Bay,” said Rob Genovesi, Owner, Coastside Net. “With GO Networks, we are able to significantly increase network coverage and performance, while containing costs.”
