I posted about this last October and haven’t heard anything about the project status in months.
Wireless Oakland, a first-of-its-kind project to blanket all 910 square miles of the county with a wireless signal, remains months behind schedule nearly a year and half after the project was announced by County Executive L. Brooks Patterson.
Originally the pilot towns — Troy, Birmingham, Madison Heights, Royal Oak, Oak Park, Pontiac and Wixom — were to be online by mid-March. In February, MichTel officials said the system would be running by June. But only small sections of Wixom and Pontiac are receiving the service.
Apparently MichTel, the company contracted by the county is blaming some engineering hurdles they had to jump.
Huh? They better get jumping, the timeline said the end of 2007 for the entire county to be covered, and as of this moment approximately 3000sq ft are all that’s covered…
