内珀维尔公园区

通过公共Wi-Fi货币化帮助市政当局

Created by referendum in 1966, the Naperville, Illinois Park District is an independent municipal agency serving the recreation needs of its residents. The Naperville Park District’s mission is to provide recreation and park experiences that promote healthy lives, healthy minds and a healthy community.

The District maintains and operates more than 2,400 acres with 137 parks and facilities and provides more than 1,500 recreational, arts and environmental programs and special events annually. Included within the District’s operations are two championship golf courses; a multitude of playgrounds, trails, athletic courts and sports fields; Fort Hill Activity Center; Knoch Knolls Nature Center; two inline skating and skateboarding facilities; the Millennium Carillon; a paddleboat quarry; historic Centennial Beach; and the beautiful Riverwalk.

The Challenge

许多公园的无线信号时断时续，甚至没有无线信号。面对休闲和室外设施频繁使用Wi-Fi的需求，园区考虑为其最受欢迎的两个公园Centennial Beach和Rotary Hill部署Wi-Fi。仅第一年，设备和Wi-Fi服务的初始报价为72,000美元。这远远超出了他们的可用资金，主要是因为他们只希望在为期三个月的夏季，即水上设施使用最多的时期，看到约4,000台设备。
