A big concern would be that unlike power, water and sewer, wifi is ever evolving and requires pretty much constant updating and upgrading. You would be in and out and then gone like a thief in the night. Even if you took the path a previous poster mentioned, help set up a system that blocks Netflicks, Hulu and the other streaming services, what happens next year when the services of the moment are completely different? I need someone whom I can call and get help from ASAP.
I agree except that I don't think that blocking streaming services is absolutely necessary. A well designed and implemented system should support streaming within reason.
I have used, with excellent success, a company that offers system monitoring and helpdesk support. Their call center is in College Station TX. Their support folks are top notch. They monitor the systems and field support calls (800#) 24/7 from end users and park staff. If there is a problem that requires my attention then they call me. I make sure to have a local technical resource available in case I cannot make it to the site in a timely manner.
The system I am using right now was originally installed about 10 years ago. We are currently performing our 2nd technology upgrade. 10 years and 3 generations of technology.
