MobilePro announced that it has signed a definitive contract with the City of Longmont, Colorado to design, deploy and operate a mesh wireless network in the community. The Longmont area has one of the highest concentrations of software-related jobs in the nation.

Jerry Sullivan, president of MobilePro and CEO of MobilePro's wireless division, said, "We plan to provide a mesh wireless broadband system that will provide the city and its residents an affordable broadband alternative. The system will be used for critical government services as well as for residential and commercial broadband access. We will begin our initial implementation efforts during the fourth quarter of 2006."

The wireless network planned for Longmont will be a citywide build-out. The network will provide state-of-the-art technology to the City of Longmont, its residents, businesses and its many visitors.

Subscribers will be able to access the wireless network from anywhere, at any time, within the coverage area. All Wi-Fi-enabled devices will have free access to the network-landing page, which will contain information about the service and instructions on how to connect and the city's website.
