A set of public agencies in the Sacramento Valley considers plans for a 12,000-sq. mi. network: WiSac would cover 30 communities, and be used for public safety and monitoring levees, among other purposes. Sacramento would be included. The plans aren't far along, and there's nothing in place yet for financing. This would dwarf any other project worldwide except Singapore's ultimate goal of unwiring the entire country.
Well, actually in square miles the Sacramento project would dwarf even covering the whole coutry of Singapore.
The Wireless Sacramento Regional Project Draft covers 12,000 sq. miles.
The whole country of Singapore is 270 sq. miles.
[Editor's note: I meant more conceptually, but you're right about actual area. The Wireless Silicon Valley project will be 1,500 square miles, too.--gf]
