WiMAX Takes Denver a Mile Higher

The wild western frontier is the very symbol of adventure and enterprise that characterized much of the 19th and 20th centuries. As the nation moved westwards, the mighty Rocky Mountains stood as a fierce obstacle in the push towards the Pacific Coast. In the shadow of the snowcapped peaks of the Front Range, lies the picturesque city of Denver, which has stood as an urban oasis and the gateway to the Rockies for a century and a half.

Known as the "Mile High City," Denver’s beautiful views and access to the South Platte River have made it an important center for trade and a resting place for many weary travelers through the years. The capital of Colorado, Denver began as a mining town, and today stands as a thoroughly modern city with thriving businesses and a major international airport. Culture thrives in the city as well, and various parks, museums and theatres delight residents and visitors alike.

Residents of Denver are known for their love of the outdoors. That’s no great surprise given the awe-inspiring landscapes and wealth of activities around the city. Hiking, skiing, climbing and rafting are only a few of the outdoor sports enjoyed by Denver’s inhabitants. With hundreds of miles of bicycle lanes lining the city’s streets, biking is also a beloved pastime of Denverites. Professional sports also shine in the city, and well known franchises like NFL’s Broncos and the Colorado Rockies of Major League Baseball attract millions of loyal fans.

Because of Denver’s location as a midway point between major Midwestern cities like Chicago and St. Louis and Western cities like Los Angeles and San Diego, it has always been an important hub of trade and a waypoint on major traffic routes. As the largest city within a five-hundred mile radius, it is a major regional center in the central Rockies.

Given the city’s size and importance, its need for state of the art wireless internet access is apparent. Not only is efficient mobile broadband service essential to the operations of a modern capital’s governing operations, it also serves a bustling business community that’s home to several major corporate offices.

As the current 3G networks that facilitated the rise of mobile internet service struggle to meet an ever-growing demand, new 4G technologies are emerging as outstanding solutions. For cities like Denver which have a large urban population situated in an area with large topographical variations, WiMAX networks have proved ideal for providing coverage by virtue of their use of microwave radio frequencies to transmit frequencies. Not only do WiMAX towers have an increased signal radius, but the amount of bandwidth and speed they offer should provide sufficient service for many years to come.

The "Mile High City" is home to a great wealth of natural and cultural delights. As a vital trade center and state capital, its strategic importance in the west is obvious, and its continued growth is practically inevitable. With the next generation of wireless service readily available, Denver continues to stand as a giant of the new frontier.
