Wired access points connect to the antennas and broadcast Wi_Fi signal throughout the property.

CHALLENGE: mid-size condominium property with 6 different buildings would like to have on demand Wi-Fi connection available for the residents and tenants without massive amount of unsightly looking "tech gear", satellite dishes, etc.

SOLUTION: powered from the central location Wired Access Points distribute Wi-Fi signal within 2 and 3 story buildings. Identified "death spots" are being serviced with compact size wireless access points that transfer and enhance weaker signals - effectively extending the area of coverage, within individual units.

Approach as implemented allowed us to provide solution with a very low initial investment and expend as needed.

Instead of placing large amount of devices for uniform coverage and added expense , we initially omitted areas would not fully utilize it.

CHALLENGE: Geo-thermal cooling and heating system is monitored by computerized devise that incorporates network connectivity. If controller could be connected to the Internet, technician servicing and monitoring the unit could perform the tasks online. Saving travel time and labor.

SOLUTION: "point-to point" wireless network operating on dedicated frequency connects 2 locations with controller and

router present in central location of the property. Installed software on the controller enables, not only monitoring, but also changing the parameters of entire system and provides e-mail notifications and alerts, under certain conditions.

System board allows future upgrades for the CPU, memory as well as second, or entirely new video card.

Added memory and upgraded video card increased system performance by 60%, while saving over 80% on price quoted by original builder. New system can easily handle dual or triple display option, considered by the owner.
