Why Go Wireless?

The real question is, why wouldn't you go wireless for your internet access? As a famous song says, "the times are a changin' " - this could not be more accurate than the way people want to access the internet.

Just a few years ago many of these things we use everyday were not even available:

  • Cordless phones
  • Cellular phones
  • Personal computers
  • ATM cards
  • Ipod / MP3 Player
  • Laptops

Yet today all of us take most of those for granted. We never think about how are lives would be without them. For the adults of today's fast paced-connected world, internet access is a necessity.
So while people are vacationing, they want to have internet access that is easy to use and allows them the freedom to enjoy their vacation. The last thing a parent needs is to have to tell their children that they have to wait to go to the pool while they wait for a file to download on their slow dial-up connection - wireless access allows them the freedom to both enjoy the pool and take care of the many online activities of today's world quickly and easily.

 

Wireless Internet Access is the Best High-Speed Access Option

Although there are several different ways to provide high-speed internet access, wireless has a clear advantage over all the others. For property owners, a wireless internet access solution is the most cost-efficient option because it does not require the huge expense of having the property’s buildings rewired for ethernet. A wireless internet access solution is the most flexible because it allows connectivity from all units as well as from the common areas of the property such as the beach, pool deck, or garage.
Here are a few statistics:

"By 2006, there are expected to be 89,000 public Wi-Fi network access points and more than 99 million Wi-Fi users worldwide…" -- USA Today, November 13, 2002.

Demand for wireless Internet access has grown steadily from 2001 to 2003.

The number of people that travel with computers has increased 227% in the last year.
