Nortel Network's municipal wireless networking business is committed to delivering the full municipal wireless solution: technology, services, applications, and hardware. This approach — along with Nortel's networking and communications experience and existing government and service provider relationships — has helped Nortel to win several large-scale deployments overseas; it has also resulted in multiple stateside municipal wireless customers. Continued success in this market will require Nortel to make the jump from a systems integrator role to a recognized municipal wireless networking vendor — a transition that begins by improving its access point technology.
