RedMoon will provide the City of Temple with real-time communications for emergency operations, providing high-speed wireless connections anywhere in the city back to City Hall. The wireless network will include a number of video surveillance and data communications connections and a private network with super high-speed connections that do not require expensive fiber but still allows for easy scalability of the network. Data transmissions across the network are secured using 128-bit AES encryption. Additionally, the new network will allow for the Public Works department to comply with Homeland security guidelines.
Texas-based RedMoon Broadband is a leader in municipal Wi-Fi, according to company statements,and has designed, engineered and deployed wireless mesh network solutions providing high-speed Internet service, security surveillance, automatic water meter reading and mobile broadband for municipalities, including Addison, Texas, home to major corporations such as Mary Kay, Pizza Hut and Palm Harbor Homes.
Additionally, RedMoon and Chevron Energy Solutions, a business unit of Chevron Corporation, deliver service through the companies' SkyPilot mesh network to the 10-square-mile City of Burleson, Texas, supplying an automatic water metering program to more efficiently track consumption, curb water loss and increase revenues. Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) technology will enable Burleson to reduce meter-reading costs, improve the accuracy of readings, support water conservation efforts and raise the level of customer service.
Separately, RedMoon Broadband is exploring municipal Wi-Fi opportunities internationally through NewMarket's Latin American operations. Recently, NewMarket Technology and RedMoon Broadband announced the signing of a non-binding letter of intent to form a partnership with Domos, Ltd. to initiate and develop wireless broadband in Mexico. Additionally, RedMoon Broadband also recently participated in a NewMarket Trade Mission to Brazil to identify municipal Wi-Fi opportunities in the country with national and local government officials in Sao Paulo, Curitiba and the capital, Brasilia. Brazil's telecom regulator, Anatel, recently approved regulations to permit 5,561 Brazilian municipalities to offer Wi-Fi Internet access.
