Google wi-fi network still active

Metropolitan wi-fi did not actually meet the expectation high and was crushed down due to low 3G connectivity and many people questioned the network’s effectiveness. But one metropolitan wi-fi infrastructure remained that perfect, that is the one installed in Mountain View, Calif. The network has spent three successful years. All you need to do to connect to the wireless network is to sign in your g-mail account and that is absolutely free of charge.


Tropos, which is the owner of the routers on the network, told that the Google wi-fi network covers 12c square miles and within that area 16,000 to 19,000 users are served at a time. Everyday the network transfers at about 600 gigabytes of user data. This is a doubled volume compared to that of two years ago. Tom Ayers, Tropo’s chief executive, claims that the network handles data more than any other comparable network on this planet.

And this demand is surprisingly going up everyday. Nearly 25% percent of all the devices are handsets. Number of those handsets were at the beginning just a big zero.
