(OTCBB: WWWN) has been selected by The Newport Beach Police Department to provide mobile wireless broadband connectivity to its police cruisers. WWWN's integrated wireless Internet network will deliver aerial high-speed Wide Area Network (WAN) connectivity to NBPD's existing fleet of squad cars. These vehicles have been hardwired and configured with laptops to provide connectivity to the officer(s) on duty while patrolling the community. These laptops are connected wirelessly to the police department's Wide Area Networks at the station. NBPD chose WWWN's wireless network and its system to serve as its primary and only mobile WAN connection with options to provide Internet backbone connectivity at a later date. The system essentially enables any authorized officer employed by the NBPD to access all data that is normally available at the police station or its substations while in the vehicle on patrol. WWWN's wireless Wide Area Network and this type of system can be rapidly deployed for wireless remote access applications. The WAN's performance and reliability will enable the NBPD to access various state and federal records in virtually seconds, cutting down on valuable response time. According to a previous report, it has been determined that networked police cruisers with WAN capabilities identified and arrested nearly twice as many fugitives as fellow Law Enforcement Agencies operating without the system. "By deploying this state of the art mobile wireless Wide Area Network, we hope that it will keep the city of Newport Beach on the cutting edge of technology, making the officers' jobs easier and more productive while making an already very safe city with an excellent police department even more pleasant to visit or live in. We have received an overwhelming response from Southern California Law Enforcement Agencies on this new service, and according to law enforcement feedback, this will significantly reduce out of field administrative time and give the officers immediate access to all available data bases and records," said Jack Tortorice CEO of Worldwide Wireless Networks.
