Las Vegas public safety workers are piloting a six-month trial of mesh networking.
Located along a two-and-a-half square-mile portion of downtown Las Vegas, the wireless network from MeshNetworks and Cheetah Wireless could expand throughout the city, as well as be a model for the entire state. The Las Vegas Traffic Engineering Department, along with Metro Police and Fire Services will use the mesh network to transmit large data files, have remote access to the Emergency Vehicle Preemption system, remotely monitor video cameras at city intersections, maintain communication between field personnel and allow "instant tactical networking."
But will the networks reach inside the dense concrete buildings located there? -KF
