Maybe it was put up as required, but was a bad design.
If Arinc made the desige, then sue.
If Arinc did not, but only built per someone else's design, don't sue. | |

| Hmm Are they trying to say that they installed damaged equipment? Or are they trying to say that the equipment was installed but there was no way to configure or provide a pipe to those access points, even though the city insisted on having them installed.
Which is it? | |

| The city or the company?
Because if the city was pressuring the company to have them be placed in specific locations and ignoring any warning from the company deploying them, then pretty much the city can go screw themselves.
If it was the company, well hopefully they will be put out of business for their stupidity. Who ever decided though, he or she was a jackass. | |

The city built (paid a contractor) and owns the network, then leases it to a operator (maintence costs, monthly costs of various kind, and customer service/tech support costs). | |

| I know wi-fi has it's limitations..... but just who are these companies that accept millions and either don't deploy anything or as in this case, deliver a non-functioning system.
Yes I know there are lots of considerations and variables for large scale mesh type deployments. But it's not rocket science, and there are many large universities and other municipalities with successful systems. | |

| You are correct in stating that there has been several articles written here that says (insert your town) has some sort of difficulty in setting up a wifi network with (insert the non delivering company). Why do these cities and towns sign up and give these companies millions when they are doomed from the start?

| The company should have hired real engineers They are no different than most wireless companies from the smallest 1-man operation to Earthlinkg. Instead of having real RF or Electrical engineers analyze the install, they simply assumed they were the experts based on what the manufacturers told them (like they don't have an agenda), and assumed it would work. They all fail because they all think they are smarter than degreed engineers. They think that becuase they took a 1 week training class, passed a manufacturer test, and got a certificate that says engineer, they are experts. They are idiot technicians who give the wrong information to business management and sales people who believe them. The results are massive Wi-Fi failures from Philadelphia on down.
They all could have worked and avoided utter failure by simply having a real engineer analyze the specifications. They would have told them it wasn't going to work. Either there isn't enough sunlight, not enough antenna gain, etc... Either way, I fear that everyone who buys an AP fro Fry's Electronics is still going to think they are experts. To quote a great man, Red, from "That 70's show", "Dumb a$$". If you want to know how to set up networks that work, check out our website www.triadwireless.net. | |

| Re: The company should have hired real engineers First, if my website is not on there, it's not really anonymous. Obviously you didn't read the whole thing. Second, engineers calculate things out "BEFORE" they install something to see if it will meet specifications. Maybe Earthlink and Metrofi would have saved all that money instead of doubling the number of AP's they eventually needed if a real RF engineer told them they can't hit a laptop at 600' through 2 buildings and trees.
As for the anonymous part,
