Monthly Report – April 2012

SandyNet

WiFi – We are continuing to add infrastructure to the WiFi network to keep up with demands. It seems to be a constant battle as the usage of customers is increasing consistently.

Rural Wireless – We mounted our first WiFi system in a tree up on Moonbeam drive. So far we have three customers taking advantage of that system but we hope to add five to ten more in that area. We also installed a dedicated point to point link to a business customer in the Boring area that had need of a high bandwidth solution to replace some T1’s. This is a great benefit to both SandyNet and the customer as it is an excellent revenue stream for us, and a huge performance increase AND cost savings for the customer.

Fiber to the Home – Still awaiting information from our contractor on potential cost reductions for this project.

IT Department

Virtualization Project – Progress continues on moving more users over to the new virtual desktop system. We have had a few problems to overcome, but overall performance is an improvement over what most users were used to with their old physical desktops.
