Rhode Island is ready to become the country’s first broadband wireless state. That was the conclusion of a study by the Rhode Island Wireless Innovation Networks, which found that organizations in both the public and private sector could use a border-to-border broadband wireless network.
Members of the Business Innovation Factory, a group of innovators collaborating to explore and test better ways to attract and grow business which includes companies like Intel, IBM, American Power Conversion as well as the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation and Rhode Island Economic Policy Council, are behind the Rhode Island Wireless Innovation Networks (RI-WINs).

The state’s small size is a major factor in the feasibility of a statewide network, the study found. By offering a unified, statewide platform for wireless services, RI-WINs will encourage business model innovation, stimulate economic development and become a focal point for innovative applications for companies in and outside Rhode Island, the partnership said. The network can also provide new markets for users and providers.
