Spiderhost Brings Wi-Fi to the Alligator Capital of the World
ORLANDO, Fla.-(Business Wire)-July 16, 2008 - Central Florida's Gatorland - the Alligator Capital of the World - now enjoys a wireless Internet system thanks to Spiderhost and AOK Networking.
After a 2006 fire destroyed the 69-year-old theme park's "gaping gator mouth" main entrance and gift shop, the theme park embraced the opportunity to incorporate Wi-Fi in the rebuild.
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.
"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. "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."
"Given the park's size and layout, the installation process required a rather complex routing configuration," adds 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."
The Wi-Fi project will also enhance the guest experience, as it includes free wireless Internet access for park guests.
Gatorland's new Wi-Fi network will debut as part of the park's 60th anniversary celebration.
