Subtopics

• Fixed Wireless BroadbandMotorola Canopy point-to-multipoint distribution off municipal towers, modeled for coverage before a mast went up.
• Industrial & Plant-Floor WirelessCoverage that has to hold while the line is running — production areas, material handling, yard and warehouse, surveyed on site.
• Point-to-Point WirelessLicensed-exempt bridges carrying voice, video and data where no fixed infrastructure exists — with the encryption placed above the link rather than inside it.
• Wireless MeshMunicipal 802.11a mesh on light poles, backhauled from a city tower, with residential traffic tunneled clear of the government estate.
• Wireless Site SurveyMeasuring coverage on site rather than predicting it from a floor plan — including a countywide drive test in the era before the software existed.

Applied in

• E-Rate Funded Network Programs2024–2026Roughly fifteen engagements across school districts, a regional education service agency and a public library consortium — every design constrained by federal funding eligibility and the funding-year window.
• Multi-Property Gaming Group2024–2026Four properties for a regional casino group — security and segmentation, core refresh, wireless, surveillance separation and firewall consolidation.
• Port-Level Authentication: The 2006 Position2006–2023An argument made in 2006 that securing ports by MAC address was not the answer — held across four platform generations, and in production fifteen years later by a route other than the one proposed.
• JTA and Downtown Transit Connectivity2006–2023Seventeen years on the boundary between two public agencies that could not direct one another — first as the city's architecture review on transit proposals, then as owner of the interconnect itself.
• Library Wireless Program2006–2023From reported dead spots to an engineered coverage program, on an estate where the wireless carried staff safety devices.
• Union Rome Water Treatment Plant Inspection and System Design2022–2023Drone-assisted survey, thermal imaging and coverage assessment across 32 sites along the Ohio River, ending in a design package specified down to the part.
• Enterprise Network Access Control2016–2022Seven years from vendor evaluation to a control that could quarantine a port anywhere in the city — and the federated exception handling that made enforcement survivable in a building shared with four other agencies.
• Public Access Wireless Program2005–2019Fourteen years and four program names — JaxWiz, municipal Wi-Fi, public wireless, Downtown Wi-Fi — from inheriting somebody else's pilot to a signed, mapped downtown build still being extended four years later.
• Automated Asset Tracking Program2007–2016Nine years carrying the asset tracking agenda across two titles, argued on billing accuracy rather than loss prevention — and ending in a position and a scoped proof of concept rather than a deployment.
• One Spark Festival Wireless2013–2015Forty-two access points in downtown traffic signal cabinets, backhauled over the fiber that runs the lights, with Ubiquiti mesh between intersections as the fallback and a tenfold internet burst for the week.
• St. James Building Wireless2014–2015Building-wide wireless for City Hall, specified as a measurable coverage floor with heat maps as acceptance and the remediation cost carried by whoever promised the number.
• Duval County Courthouse Technology Program2008–2012A $12M IT program inside a $350M, 800,000 square foot capital facility, cut over live to a fixed date.
• Super Bowl XXXIX Stadium Wireless2004–2005Ticketing and access control across seven stadium gates for the 2005 Super Bowl, backhauled over six point-to-point bridge pairs, in the most hostile radio environment there is.
• Hospital Network and Clinical Wireless2000–2004Facility-wide clinical wireless under HIPAA across hospital systems in New York, Florida, Delaware and North Carolina.
• Nissan and Georgia-Pacific Industrial Wireless2001–2004Plant-floor, material handling, yard and warehouse coverage surveyed on site with the lines running.
• Kerzner International Resort PMS Integration2001–2004Guest internet and marina shore power authenticated, metered and posted to a room account across resort properties.
• Statewide Florida Wireless Installations2000–2004Tower, antenna and LMR feed line work across the state, alongside the RF design.
• Emergency Operations Center Wireless Network2000–2003A fault-tolerant Motorola wireless network built specifically for EOC use during natural disasters.
• Nassau County Sheriff's Office Countywide Wireless2001–2003Multi-tower public safety wireless across a large rural county, surveyed by driving it and plotting the readings by hand.
