Ottawa Wireless built a Wi-Fi network in Grand Haven, Mich. that covers 70 city blocks: The network uses gear from Proxim, which allows Ottawa to backhaul access points wirelessly. The coverage for this network, which supports WPA, is pretty impressive and the pricing is great too. Customers can pay $20 a month for unlimited access around town. If they want great coverage in the home, they pay an additional $200 startup fee, presumably for an access point in the home that extends the signal inside. The company sells a special Wi-Fi radio modified for marine usage which allows boaters to use the service as far as 20 miles out on Lake Michigan.
The pricing for visitors is cheap too. Travelers pay $5 for a day or $10 for three days. Ottawa Wireless apparently built the network with an eye toward using WiMax gear, once certified equipment is available.
