Worldwide Wireless Signs County Contract

Worldwide Wireless Networks Inc. said it has signed a contract with Orange County to design and install a mobile wireless wide-area network for the county Civic Center, which encompasses 15 buildings.

Terms of the pilot program were not disclosed.

The Orange-based company said in a news release that the system is intended to demonstrate the role that wireless Internet connectivity can play in enhancing county employees’ productivity by increasing the time spent performing their field duties.

The pilot system will allow the foundation to determine potential applications throughout the county for employees such as parole officers, building inspectors, health services personnel and others who spend considerable time in the field.
