BETHESDA, Md., Dec. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MobilePro Corp.

The pilot network will encompass a portion of downtown, including Falls River Square, the Natatorium, the conference center and city hall. Wireless Internet access will be available in these areas on a fixed and mobile basis to residents, businesses, students and visitors. NeoReach plans to grow the network to cover all 28 square miles of the city in future phases. Once complete, the network will allow for roaming capability between Cuyahoga Falls and the recently announced network that NeoReach is deploying in the neighboring city of Akron.

The multi-spectrum (Wi-Fi, WiMAX), multi-radio mesh network will enable a range of free and fee-based services and provide secure high-speed access to data, voice and video throughout the coverage area. Subscription services will be offered on an annual, monthly, daily and hourly basis and will allow access to multiple Internet service providers (ISPs).

Mayor Don Robart said, "We are excited about the relationship with NeoReach, which will bring wireless technology to our city. We pride ourselves on keeping up with the demand for technology, and this represents our commitment to keep pace with technological advances to improve city services. This project began over a year ago, and it is exciting to see it actually happen."

John Konich, manager of Information Systems for Cuyahoga Falls, added, "This is the result of a year-long search for a cost-effective solution to providing wireless access in Cuyahoga Falls. This is a win-win situation for the residents. They will get improved city services as well as an alternative Internet connection."

Subscribers will be able to access the wireless network from anywhere in the coverage area at any time. All Wi-Fi-enabled devices will have free access to the network landing page. Users will automatically be directed to the network landing page, which will contain information about the service and instructions on how to connect. Visitors will be able to navigate the city of Cuyahoga Falls website and certain other selected websites at any time, without limitation or cost.

Martin Levetin, vice president of NeoReach Wireless, said, "NeoReach is pleased to be working in partnership with the city of Cuyahoga Falls to support its wireless initiative. We look forward to taking the city to the next level of technological advancement by increasing the benefits and economic development our network will bring to the residents, businesses, guests and municipality of Cuyahoga Falls."
