In 2012 we moved our data centers to the financial district of Manhattan. Since the move our data center team has done an extraordinary job even during the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Actually their performance during that crisis was well beyond extraordinary. We are proud of the work we do but we are always looking to be a better company for our clients.

Many apartment communities currently offer WiFi to their residents while others are looking at how they can profit from adding WiFi as an amenity. There is of course the property wide wireless model where wireless connections are beamed into the individual apartment units for the residents to enjoy. The other option is a bit more cost efficient and it can make the community center into a real social center for the apartment community

Earlier we shared some news about our terrific growth in 2012. At that time we already had plans in the works to use that forward momentum to move us even farther in the managed WiFi arena. It is our goal to not keep our growth at a steady rate, but to also build up and improve our systems while offering new services to our client base.

The havoc wrought by Hurricane Sandy was nothing that could have been prepared for by the telecom industries. Cell towers were knocked out which made reaching family and friends via phone calls, texts or internet more than difficult. Lack of electricity made DSL and Cable modems inoperable. But for those places that did have electricity WiFi became a lifeline and was finally recognized as the commodity that it has become.

As many iPad and iPhone users have discovered, there are a number of WiFi issues with IOS 6. Sadly, even more are being reported while the ones discovered early on have not yet been fixed. Frustrated users should be aware that due to these issues their carrier bills my go up significantly and sessions at public WiFi Hotspots may be less than satisfying.
