ZTE to power the upcoming Wi-Fi network in Mexico City

Mexico City’s Mayor Mercelo Ebrard has said in a statement that the 8 million residents of the city would soon get access to wireless internet access.

This network would also help the city authorities to monitor the activities in the city using 4,000 closed-circuit security cameras.

Mexico City’s upcoming wireless network would be developed by China telecommunications company ZTE Corp. It would also be connecting the city’s schools and government offices.

The deal signed between the city and the ZTE is also likely to provide numerous jobs for Mexican residents.

Ebrard was quoted as saying to the media personals: “We hope in the coming months, throughout this government, we will have more Chinese and Mexican engineers working together to solve our technological problems.”

The network is expected to be in place by next year.
