Digital Inclusion: BH will be plugged into the wireless Internet
Belo Horizonte is the capital of the first country to have 90% coverage to the wireless Internet. The news was announced by Mayor Fernando Pimentel (PT) this week after the Ministry of Communications to release about $ 3.5 million for the project BH Digital, which is being implemented by the Municipality of Belo Horizonte since last year.
The total project cost is estimated at $ 4.3 million, the remainder of the appeal will be invested by the municipality itself.
"Our goal is to become the first capital Belo Horizonte fully plugged into the country," said Pimentel, (...)
According to Computer and Information Company of Belo Horizonte (Prodabel), responsible for implementing the Digital BH, at least 256 points with Internet access and wireless high speed will be implemented in the city until April 2008.
Next week, the city should launch the bidding to install 12 towers and 64 antennas for data transmission via radio waves. The big news will be on account of the creation of six public places in the capital and moved with wireless access and free internet.
Were chosen by the city of the Pope and the squares and parks of Liberty City, and Ecological Mangabeiras Pampulha.
"In all these places, there will be an area of 500 m, identified by signs, where the user can connect your laptop and surf the Internet with wireless connection free of the city hall for a few hours," said the superintendent Prodabel networks, Lilian Noronha Nacif.
According to the manager Prodabel, connection time and the maximum number of computers simultaneously connected to the network of wireless Internet will be further defined by Prodabel.
The person will probably dial a number from the hall where you will get a username and password that will be valid only for that connection, it will drop automatically after the timeout. The expectation of Prodabel of these sites is open until December.

The issue of safety in public places with six new wireless Internet in the capital also worries Prodabel. According to the company, military police need to strengthen policing in sections to ensure the success of the proposal.
"It will be essential that to happen so that people can enjoy the benefit with ease in the municipal park in the square of the Pope and all other places", said the superintendent's network Prodabel, Lilian Noronha Nacif.News in full here .
