HHIMR WiFi Experience

  • When we have approximately 250 “devices” connected the

controller shuts down.

  • A site survey (Heat Map) was conducted and we found that we

have very good to excellent coverage with our current tower placement.

  • The problem is the equipment on the towers and in our main

distribution point (clubhouse) is antiquated and lacking.

slide-59
SLIDE 59
  • The vendor maintains the equipment and is responsible for

upgrades including software patches… antiquated hardware replacement… defective hardware.

  • A toll free help line. Owners and Guests can call for assistance

with their WiFi connection issues. The front office no longer needs to provide Technical Support.

  • A possibility of offering a free WiFi to our Guests suitable for web

surfing – emails – etc. but not streaming videos. Offering a premium WiFi ($$) to our Guests suitable for streaming.

  • Free WiFi to the owners suitable for streaming.

What is a good way to go now?

slide-60
SLIDE 60

Where do we currently stand?

  • We have two proposals in hand and waiting on a third.
  • Two out of the three vendors offer a Managed WiFi solution.
  • Hargray Communications is offering a good solution but we

have been left with a bitter taste in our mouth over the years.

  • Upon close examination, our current Hargray contract includes

the fiber access (internet “pipe”), the current WiFi solution and

  • ur cable TV. If we try to break part of the contract (WiFi) it is a

very real possibility the Hargray could shutdown all three.

slide-61
SLIDE 61
  • If we seriously want to consider replacing Hargray then the
  • ther vendors must do all thee – Internet access – WiFi

solution – television.

  • One vendor recently presented their proposal for all three.

We are waiting on one additional vendor. They “think” they can provide television in addition to the other two.

Where do we currently stand? (cont.)

slide-62
SLIDE 62

In Conclusion…

  • If it is worth doing…. It is worth doing RIGHT!
  • This is a technology complex issue that deserves looking at

all possibilities.

  • The WiFi Committee appreciates the patience that the

Owners are expressing.

  • We are getting very close to a solution decision. It will take

time to implement the solution once the contact is signed.
