We now have over 80 participants in the Wireless Washtenaw pilot. We have the capability of adding 420 more before we reach pilot limits. We particularly need particpants to test the 2.4GHz 802.11 B/G network in downtown Ann Arbor. The Ann Arbor pilot is open to all County residents. You don't have to live downtown to be an Ann Arbor pilot participant. All you need is a WiFi enabled notebook or laptop and the ability to get to the downtown pilot area. If you're interested, please register here.
University of Michigan Dial-up
We have updated our 2020comm.com website with a special link for UofM Faculty and Staff. This link will lead you to special offers including our Netrek Dial-up service. We are offering this dial-up service for UofM customers wishing to become a Wireless Washtenaw participant but are not yet serviced by the network. You can now sign-up for a dial-up account online and have a valid account within minutes. The account is temporary. It will last until two (2) months after the full Wireless Washtenaw build is complete. There is no contract
Known Problems: Account timeouts continue to be an issue. Siemens and 20/20 network engineers are working on a resolution. Your patience during the pilot period is greatly appreciated.
20/20 Communications was selected by Washtenaw County to provide county wide Wireless Internet access.
The project is currently in the fifth week of the Pilot Phase. The pilot is scheduled through February.
At this time we are looking for potential pilot participants in the Ann Arbor and Saline areas.
If you are interested in becoming an Ann Arbor or Saline pilot participant, or if you'd like to register for the service when its in your area, Register here. |
