Wifi Revolution

Spiderhost announced today that it’s brought Wi-Fi to Central Florida’s Gatorland – the Alligator Capital of the World.

 

The theme park embraced the opportunity to incorporate Wi-Fi in the rebuild after the 69-year-old theme park’s “gaping gator mouth” main entrance and gift shop, according to the company.

 

The new $4 million dollar gift shop and admissions complex plan called for a wireless solution to improve the park’s operations and point-of-sale system, company officials say.

 

“We needed a trusted partner to build the wireless network and help integrate it into Gatorland’s existing IT infrastructure,” says Bob Knoerzer, president of AOK Networking, who manages on-site network administration for the iconic theme park, in a statement. “Having worked with Spiderhost on a number of innovative IT projects in the past, we knew their wireless expertise made them the obvious choice for this project.”

 

The Wi-Fi project will also enhance the guest experience, as it includes free wireless Internet access for park guests, company officials say.

 

“Given the park’s size and layout, the installation process required a rather complex routing configuration,” said Dale Frohman, president of Spiderhost. “We relied on AOK’s extensive knowledge of the existing network to integrate the two, ultimately equipping Gatorland with a more secure, highly reliable network with a Wi-Fi component.”

 

Spiderhost delivers optimal IT solutions to businesses that recognize the value of robust technology. Their best-of-breed products and services are customized to fit needs and budgets, giving organizations of all sizes significant online presence and affordable, professional-level performance, company officials say.

 

With a robust suite of offerings, Spiderhost says it maximizes impact by creatively combining technical elegance, high performance, security, and economical operation. Spiderhost says it helps companies overcome technology challenges so they can focus their time, money, and energy on their core business.
