Municipal Wireless
MuniWi-Fi is a catch-all term for municipal wireless. It applies to several technologies that provide wireless access via any combination of true Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11a, b, or g protocols at speeds of up to 54 Mbps with limited distances) as well as proprietary wireless protocols in licensed or unlicensed frequencies. It also applies to the use of emerging WiMAX protocols, which cover directional distances of up to 30 miles and omnidirectional distances of 2 to 5 square miles at speeds of up to 100 Mbps.
