Grand Prairie firm to help bring wireless television to rural areas

Worldcast announced on Monday the formation of a strategic partnership with Mesh City Wireless, a Grand Prairie-based manufacturer of high speed WiFi products. The goal of the partnership is to provide wireless television service to rural areas around the United States.

"We are very excited about this collaboration," said Greg Miles, CEO of Worldcast. "Our two companies have complementary technologies that will make it possible to transmit television wirelessly to many rural areas that are currently unable to receive any television signals at all."

The terms of the deal between the two companies will be released in the near future.

Mesh City Wireless provides hardware, software, and end-to-end systems for deploying high-performance, low-cost wireless broadband point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and mesh architectures for military, metropolitan, suburban, municipal, campus, enterprise, rural, and public safety applications — both domestically and abroad.

Worldcast has developed a new Internet-based technology that delivers high-definition television at a fraction of the cost and bandwidth utilization of current cable and Internet technologies. Founded to create new and better ways to broadcast television to the living room and beyond, Worldcast's technology combines computers and television with the power of the Internet in a way that could change the way television is viewed.
