First Major Ubiquitous Wi-Fi Wireless Network in Dallas
Perot Systems and Hillwood Development Deploy BelAir Networks Wireless Mesh in Dallas
Kanata, Ontario -/Wi-Fi Technology News/- Hillwood Development (“Hillwood”) and Perot Systems Corporation, (NYSE: PER) teaming up with BelAir Networks and Red One Network Solutions (“Red One”), announced the deployment of a next generation wireless broadband mesh network throughout the Victory Park Development, one of the country's most significant and innovative master-planned urban developments.
The broadband wireless network provides high speed wireless access over the 75 acre urban development in the heart of downtown Dallas. The mesh network also allows nearby buildings, such as the W Dallas Victory Hotel & Residences, to integrate internet access while maintaining separate authentication systems
Victory Park, in downtown Dallas, is an innovative 75 acre mixed use development, encompassing seven million square feet of high-density retail, residential, entertainment and office space, adjacent to the American Airlines Center, which is the home arena for the Dallas Mavericks and the National Hockey League’s Dallas Stars. The W Dallas Victory Hotel and Residences, opened in June 2006, is the first W in Texas and the first W to feature residences.
“Victory Park is becoming the most vibrant and innovative mixed use urban district in the country, so we wanted truly state of the art wireless broadband technology that was both field-proven and cost effective; that’s why we chose BelAir Networks and Red One to implement it”, said Dave Newgard, CTO Victory Park, Perot Systems. “BelAir Networks wireless mesh technology delivers carrier-class capacity and reliability so guests, tenants, residents and visitors enjoy industry-leading broadband performance and we get the scalability we need to address this growing community.”
BelAir Networks is the leading provider of mobile broadband mesh network solutions with more than 250 deployments worldwide, including leading cities such as Boston, Minneapolis, the City of London and Toronto, as well as high-profile venues such as Dolphin Stadium in Miami. BelAir equipment blends seamlessly into its surroundings preserving the esthetics of the area.
“In Victory Park and throughout the W Dallas Victory Hotel and Residences, Perot Systems is using BelAir Networks wireless mesh technology to achieve the highest standard in urban Wi-Fi performance,” explained Jim Freeze, SVP, Marketing and Alliances, BelAir Networks. “Victory Park reflects both progressive urban planning and the extensive technical expertise of Perot Systems, so we’re proud that BelAir Networks wireless mesh technology was chosen to support this new urban district.”
