About RI-WINs

Rhode Island Wireless Innovation Networks (RI-WINs) was launched in 2004 by the Business Innovation Factory to create a statewide, border-to-border, wireless broadband network that breaks down barriers to innovation, improves interoperability among new products and technologies, and establishes Rhode Island as an ideal place to explore and test new business models.

RI-WINs seeks to stimulate innovation through a statewide network that features:

  • An open standards-based platform that accelerates a “test-trial-deploy” innovation cycle.
  • Fixed/mobile border-to-border wireless access to services that enable speeds in excess of 1Mb/sec.
  • Coverage for geographically underserved markets that fall outside of typical commercial models.
  • Collaborative development and integration of innovative wireless enterprise application solutions.
  • Technology that enables a “network of networks” in support of cross-industry collaboration.
