The coverage area of WiFi service carried over building wiring in New York City has been expanded.
Microwave Satellite Technologies' NuVisions service is now available by subscription in several wide-area hot spots in Manhattan and on Roosevelt Island.
"Expansion of our WiFi network within New York City allows us to offer consumers paid-for access and value-added features," said MST President Frank Matarazzo, who added that MST planned to deploy yet another 50 NuVisions hot zones before the end of the year.
Telkonet said in a news release that NuVisions took advantage of its technology that carries broadband existing building wiring, which also allows in-house Internet access simply by plugging in to a standard electric outlet.
