City council project makes Portsmouth "Europe's first mesh-enabled municipality"
Portsmouth claims it has become the first European city to build a mobile broadband network to bolster the use of its public transportation system. Officials hope the new computer and communication technology will help alleviate traffic congestion by encouraging the city's population to use public transit. The network is based on MeshNetworks Enabled Architecture (MEA), a mobile broadband solution provided by US based MeshNetworks, Inc (www.meshnetworks.com) and NOW Wireless (www.nowwireless.com), a UK wireless and networking specialist. The system, known as the Portsmouth Online Real Time Traveler (PORTAL) Information System, provides real-time travel information to passengers from more than 300 buses and is displayed at 45 locations including 36 bus stops and nine kiosks throughout the city.
