Newport Wireless Mesh is a non-profit community supported wireless mesh internet service provider.
Newport Wireless Mesh has completed our newest project, free public wifi on Main Street in Newport. It can be accessed on the street at Newport Downtown Wifi between the Goodrich Memorial Library and NEKCA. It’s passwordless but uses firmware which encrypts your data when you connect to the network, so your data is safe. We’re still doing some testing to determine the best way to make the network accessible for customers and visitors inside businesses on Main Street, so stay tuned.
