D-Link Wireless Networks Provide Access for Resort-Goers and Lake Visitors at Lake Conroe in Montgomery, TX
IRVINE, Calif., May 1 - The Del Lago Resort and Conference Center at Lake Conroe in Montgomery, Texas can boast that it is part of the largest wireless Internet hotspot in the entire state, providing wide-scale wireless Internet accessibility to resort guests and lake visitors. The resort is part of Jarvis Entertainment Group's wired lake project at Lake Conroe, enabling guests to stay connected to email and the Internet while attending a conference at the resort, while playing golf on the back nine or even while fishing and boating on the lake. The first of its kind in Texas, the resort's sole wireless connectivity is provided through more than 60 D-Link DWL-900AP+ AirPlus Wireless Access Points and DWL-650+ AirPlus Wireless Cardbus Adapters, enabling wireless coverage over three-quarters of the man-made 22,000-acre Lake Conroe.
Powered by D-Link's AirPlus Wireless products, the lake hotspot delivers Del Lago Resort patrons and residents a wireless flow of constant, dedicated access to the Internet, allowing people to stay connected anywhere in the resort. The system is operated from Jarvis Entertainment Group's state-of- the-art underground bunker, which provides wireless access, via D-Link's AirPlus Enhanced Wireless Access Points, directly back to the high-speed fiber transport to the Internet.
