PROBLEM:

Providing Wireless Internet Connectivity in a Crowded Environment

J&J Telecommunications needed to solve a major customer problem. The 855-boat slip South Shore Harbor Marina
located in League City, TX needed to provide WiFi Internet Connectivity to their customers Mobile, Laptop and
Tablet devices without having to install customer-premises equipment on the customers boat. Adding to the
complexity of the challenge was the existence of over 100 other WiFi access points in the area broadcasting on
the b/g and n WiFi bands. Many of the boaters in the marina were complaining about zero or limited (slow and
constant dropping) WiFi connection to the Marinas existing network and equipment.
SOLUTION:
Next Generation Multi-Channel WiFi
J&J Telecommunications selected Edgewater Wireless Multi-channel
Access PoInt Products wIth a Jchannel 802.11 b/g conguratIon to deploy
within the marina. Edgewater Wireless next generation, multi-channel
WiFi solution was critical to solving the wireless challenges at the marina
and providing boaters with 100% reliable connectivity to the Internet.
Relying on Edgewater Wireless Multi-channel Access Points the marina was
able to satisfy their customers needs for WiFi Internet connectivity that
was both reliable, and accessible without any additional CPE equipment
on the customers boat.
Leveraging the strengths of the Edgewater Wireless Multi-channel Access
Point, the marina was able to give the customers a choice of WiFi channels
to choose from by broadcasting multiple channels simultaneously from
the same EAP using different SSIDs. Having multi-channel choice boaters
are able to choose the SSID, and as a result, the channel that worked
best for them based on their location and their proximity to interference
caused by the 100+ WiFi access points in the area.
