Cedar Hills Crossing is First Shopping Center in Oregon to Provide Free Wi-Fi Access to Shoppers

Cedar Hills Crossing is now Beaverton’s central and newest ‘hot spot’! Shoppers never have to be out of touch, you can stay connected while shopping or dining.

“This capability empowers customers as a key access point in the heart of Beaverton and in Washington County,” says Nigel Ballard, an advisor for the Personal Telco Project, a Portland-area, volunteer-based networking group that provided technical support during the installation of the nodes throughout Cedar Hills Crossing.  “Shoppers and visitors can be fully connected.  For example, parents can bring their teens to shop and the parents don’t ever have to be out of touch.  They can be connected and productive.”  The open connection is the result of the installation of multiple 802.11 nodes (“Wi-Fi”) that provide free wireless internet connectivity for Cedar Hills Crossing shoppers and merchants.  Technical capabilities include high-speed DSL with 1.5 megabit downloading speeds. There is full support for both 802.11b and 802.11g Wi-Fi standards, and Internet access is free and unlimited. The wireless signal covers most of the the area inside Cedar Hills Crossing.

Last year Portland was named “Hottest" in Intel’s first “Most Unwired Cities” survey.  According to Ballard, “Portland claims a leadership position for leading the nation in mobile computing with the most access points for wireless connectivity.”  Cedar Hills Crossing has taken a similar position in the Shopping Center industry.

Cedar Hills Crossing is a 750,000-square-foot, suburban shopping district offering space for 60+ retail, restaurant, office and entertainment establishments.  Besides Wi-Fi access, other recent arrivals include McGrath’s Fish House, PacSun, Golf Galaxy, Bugatti's and Century Theatre, a new 16 screen, state-of-the-art THX certified theater complex.

Located at the crossroads of Millikan, Hall, Jenkins, Walker and Cedar Hills Boulevard, the former Beaverton Mall is anchored by New Seasons Market, Best Buy, Borders, Joe’s, Powell's Books, Old Navy, Winco Foods, and Ross Dress for Less.  Cedar Hills Crossing is the west side’s premier shopping destination where visitors can shop, eat, play and enjoy free wireless internet access.
