Wi-Fi that stopped at the first dock
By the Telecom Agency advisory team
Customers want connectivity on their boats, and the yard crew needs work orders at the far slips. The signal from the office reaches the first dock and gives up.
What a consultant changes
Telecom Agency brings in providers who design outdoor wireless for waterfronts, and compares them. A marina is an unusual site, and the benefit of a consultant is having already seen who does this work well.
How Telecom Agency shops the market for marine services
- The advice
- For a waterfront site, an advisor brings in specialists in outdoor wireless and compares their designs for docks, yard and office.
- The price
- Proposals are set side by side with equipment, installation and support costs separated out, so like is compared with like.
- The service
- Salt and weather are hard on equipment. The advisor arranges support and replacements and stays involved after installation.
- No fee to you: providers pay the advisor
- Every provider compared, none favoured
- One contact for every carrier
- Reviews and support after the install
