Tempe has had a rough time as a pioneer in the development of citywide wireless Internet. Nonetheless, the city believes it's heading in the right direction. MobilePro, which set up, deployed and maintains the network, is currently attaching access points to light poles in the neighboring cities of Chandler and Gilbert. Together the three districts will form a wireless area of 187 square miles by year's end.
