Will Port Orange Residents Get Free WiFi?
From; “Newton White” <nwhite2@port-orange.org> ….
Donna, Susan,
Wow, I have been talking about this with several people and it was a thought at the riverwalk park vision meeting.
Can or does this effort include parks? All children’s, dog, sports fields?
When will it be live?

From the CM newsletter ….
• IT staff completed the upgrade of the Citywide Wi‐Fi initiative. This system provides Wi‐Fi access for both employees and citizens at all City facilities, as well as the City Center municipal complex and amphitheater.
This upgrade allows IT staff to centrally configure, manage and monitor every Wi‐Fi access point in the City from one location, as well as provide unlimited scalability for future expansion.
Well not so fast!
The reply I received falls short parks are not covered and no plan is in place to put wi fi in.
The wi fi is limited to city buildings with city network connection. Currently areas in city center are covered by overlap from the city gym, and lakeside pavilion and city hall, giving coverage at the skate park and parts of the amphitheater and lakeside loop.

Other Florida City’s are far more advanced in IT technology than the feeble plan being set up in Port Orange. We hope that some day this city will cache up with current technology.
