Wireless Cities

Gaia has implemented many projects in rural areas of the UK covering over 60 towns and villages in Wales and Cumbria connecting thousands of users over its wireless network. In a city implementation Gaia has built a network covering 1/3 of Manchester City, connecting over 4500 homes as part of a project called Eastserve. Similarly Gaia has implemented a project in Aston (Birmingham City) and is currently implementing the whole city of Birmingham covering an area of 26km by 20km.

This network in an enterprise network and is hot spot based similar to many wireless cities around the world. The network utilises a gigabit network backbone of wireless as well as fibre, with a distribution layer running at 54mbps radio connected by fixed wireless nodes. Finally a third layer for WIFI cloud covers the city for mobile users. Gaia has developed a financial model for a successful and sustainable wireless city and currently runs and manages such a network as part of its business. These projects have helped bridge the Digital Divide that exists in some of our cities and rural areas.

Applications for City Councils, business, education and emergency services include:

• Urban networks
• Community broadband access schemes
• Rural community internet access
• Educational Network delivering “Learning Anywhere”
• Security and CCTV networks across a city
• Asset location services
• Mobile users such as Local Government staff connecting back to office applications
• VOIP Communication
• Connecting Emergency Services
