SARASOTA, Fla.—Speedcom Wireless Corp. announced its Wave Wireless Networking division has been chosen by the Federal Aviation Administration to provide broadband wireless connectivity between FAA buildings at airports throughout the U.S.
Wave Wireless’ Speedlan wireless routers will be used to connect multiple building on the grounds of an airport facility without fiber optic cabling or T-1 circuits. So far, 12 airports, including two major hubs, have received FAA orders to implement the Speedlan wireless solution, with plans for additional airports in the works.
