Wireless Internet Could Be Coming To Tampa Riverfront
The Tampa Tribune, By CHRISTIAN M. WADE
September 29, 2009
TAMPA - There are only a handful of so-called "hot spots" across the city, where people can connect to the Internet through laptops or hand-held devices without cables.
Unlike other cities, Tampa has lagged behind efforts to provide free wireless access.
That might be about to change.
For the past several months, members of the Tampa Downtown Partnership have been quietly negotiating with the local Internet provider Sago Networks to offer free wireless Internet access at several parks and areas along the banks of the Hillsborough River.
"The main focus is Riverwalk," said Karen Kress, director of transportation and planning for the downtown partnership. "We're hoping to have it running by the end of the year."
Details of the agreement are still being worked out, she said, but the plans call for installing several access point boxes, or transmitters, on rooftops from the new Tampa Bay History Center to the soon-to-be-reopened Curtis Hixon Park in downtown.

"As a partner, they give us the same flexibility for managed services that our customers have come to expect from us in the telecommunications business. Today, we can offer flexible licensing models that let our customers 'true up' and 'true down' on a quarterly basis. Trend Micro solutions fit our service pricing models and help keep our operating costs under control with solutions that enable very efficient, centralized management and administration."

Sago Networks connecting to Central America and to Caribbean
 Sago Networks, a leading network, datacenter, and webhosting solutions provider in the southeast United States, has begun direct connecting to Columbus Networks to provide greater data transport to Central America and the Caribbean. The peering agreement will allow faster and more direct network connectivity and data transport to businesses in that region. Over 31 Central America and Caribbean countries will now be able to experience even lower latency connection to Sago's Tampa, FL and Atlanta, GA world class datacenters.
Sago has long serviced the southeastern US with IT Managed and webhosting services, but with this newest agreement, a new level of performance and reliability will be achieved. Helping businesses in these emerging nations will improve their ability to provide quality solutions in a stable US datacenter.

Sago has also developed strong peering partners like Tiscali, PCCW, Internap, Facebook and others making possible a much more efficient internet traffic among these networks.
Sago is available for peering at Terremark NOTA, MDV (Miami Data Vault), SAGO Tampa (4465 W. Gandy Blvd.), SAGO ATL (4311 Communications Dr.) and 56 Marietta in GA.
