The Washington State Ferry system is now using WiMAX to connect 15 boats near Seattle with on-shore antennas to bring Wi-Fi to ferry passengers. The project, which has been up and running for several months, was challenging mainly because of the water, which can act like a mirror and bounce wireless signals in different directions, said Milt Gregory, the CEO of Cupertino, Calif.-based Sunrise Wireless, the project's integrator. The ferry boats vary in size as do the local tides, which means that wireless pathways are constantly fluctuating.
