Groups install wireless Internet network in Oakland

Grok Technology Inc. and 3 Rivers Connect said they will make a wireless Internet access network available in Oakland later this month.

The network, known as Grok Secure Connect, will provide coverage along Forbes Avenue from Meyran Avenue to South Craig Street beginning Dec. 10. The signal will penetrate most of the commercial buildings along Forbes and be accessible to laptops, PDAs and other "Wi-Fi" equipped devices, Grok and 3 Rivers Connect said.

Wi-Fi networks offer very fast connections to the Internet without the need to plug into a telephone or cable line. The public network in Oakland is partially funded by a grant from The Heinz Endowments.

"Subscribers will have access to the Internet in public areas, outside of traditional home, office or classroom walls," said Ronald Gdovic, executive director of 3 Rivers Connect, a Pittsburgh nonprofit that advocates the use of technology, such as Wi-Fi, to promote economic development. The group is based Downtown.

Grok, of the North Shore, provides wireless network services.
