Sanibel Moorings Installs Proxim Wi-Fi Mesh Network for Guest Internet Access
Market Wire, April, 2008
Proxim Wireless Corporation (NASDAQ: PRXM), a leader in core-to-client solutions for broadband wireless networks, today announced that it has supplied broadband wireless mesh equipment to Sanibel Moorings to enable free internet access across the six acre resort in Southwest Florida.
Sanibel Moorings is one of Sanibel Island's premier condominium vacation resorts providing individually owned one, two and three bedroom suites. The resort comprises 16 2-story buildings, made up of condos, two pools, a beach area and a fully equipped conference room.
Sanibel Moorings had installed an off-the-shelf wireless network in early 2007; however the Wi-Fi coverage was so poor that the guests were continuously complaining. Sanibel Moorings asked Entech Computers to specify and deploy a reliable, robust and secure wireless network, which would keep their guests and staff members satisfied.
Entech Computer Services installed Proxim ORiNOCO® AP-4000MR-LR Access Points on the roof tops to create a mesh network across the six acre site. The company also conducted an RF site survey to ensure the correct location of the outdoor Access Points in order to avoid any interruption of transmission due to the obstructions within the resort.
"Nowadays fast internet access is a must for top class resorts and, after our failed first attempt, we were determined to install a wireless network which would reflect the quality and reliability of our establishment. The network has worked well since its deployment and the guests in our 122 units are very happy with its performance, whether online in a guest room or while lounging around the swimming pools or at the beach," explained Laura Monsrud, General Manager at Sanibel Moorings.
"We contacted our distributor Tech Data to see which wireless equipment they would recommend for this deployment. Their rapid response recommended Proxim Wireless. And we agree -- this is an outstanding wireless solution, the best on the market. We've also been very impressed by Proxim's and Tech Data's support as well as the warranties provided. In fact, I'm sending some of my staff to become Proxim Certified, since I know we'll be deploying their equipment regularly in the future," stated Martin Haas, President of Entech Computer Services.
