Smart Valley, an initiative that has the support of Intel Corp., is getting ready to seek offers from companies interested in designing a high-speed wireless data network that would cover California's high-tech Mecca Silicon Valley.
The organization, which also includes the Joint Venture: Silicon Valley Network and the San Mateo County Telecommunications Authority, said this week that it had signed an agreement to develop a request for proposal for the project.
