Wireless Wave Impacts Florida's Bay Point Marriott Resort

Wireless service provider, CityNet LLC has created a Hot Zone at the Bay Point Resorts in Panama City Beach, Florida just in time to provide wireless Internet service in the wake of hurrican Ivan.

(PRWEB) September 22, 2004 -- Wireless service keeps the Marriotts Bay Pont Resort and Legends Edge connected in the aftermath of hurricane Ivan. Even when a tornado knocks down one of the main towers in the wireless mesh network, the Resorts access to the high-speed Internet was not affected due to the designed redundancy of this cutting edge technology.

CityNet LLC, a wireless service provider, had recently brought the resort complex into the next generation of wireless communications, before the storms hit. Once power was restored, wireless Internet was available to keep residents and visitors aware of current storm conditions even before phone lines were restored.

Completed in July, 2004, this wireless Hot Zone provides over 400 rooms spread over eleven buildings with high-speed Internet access for everyone from vacationing guests and honeymooners to business associates and conventioneers, without the inconvenience of a phone jack. With a laptop computer or a PDA, non-line-of-sight routers, make reception possible in a radio frequency challenged environment. Standard line-of-sight routers would not have been able to provide service through the propertys lush foliage and heavily treed landscaping.

As a leading provider of wireless service, CityNet LLC completed the network installation in less than a month. Their non-invasive equipment can be quickly brought on-line without having to drill any holes into a single room.

In a world where Connectivity is King" regardless of the weather, the Marriott Resorts at Bay Point, have gone the extra mile to provide their guests with what was once a novelty and is now quickly becoming mainstream for both business and pleasure...wireless, high speed Internet access.
