"As one who attends the Delegate Meetings during the months I am in Florida I think it would be great to be able to see the meetings on the blog when I am away. Pushing the technological envelope even further it would be better still if it was a live showing and further still if we were able to phone in or email our comments. Well anyway just a thought".

This is a very interesting Comment; and actually is quite do-able.

There is one practical issue as regards “live” narrowcasting of the Delegate Assembly.
-
Very often votes must be taken, and if we narrowcast live, we might never get a quorum; it would make an interesting experiment!. Also, certain meetings of wide interest and importance would make good candidates; Officers Committee, Operations Committee, Finance Committee, Security Committee, Cable Committee, UCO Budget Workshop…Etc…! All such things would be greatly enabled if the Village was WiFi’ed. Think about such things when you vote in March.

Internet Throughout CV

Is it possible to contract with an internet provider to install Wi Fi towers throughout CV that would make all 7k units internet capable? I assume it would be a lot cheaper than every unit being connected individually as is required now. This might not be worded correctly but I hope you techies get the drift. Mike

Deploying WiFi across the entire of CV is no major Technological problem. The total area of CV is about 1.1 Square miles.

Typical costs to WiFi such a space by a firm such as Motorola would be between $25,000.00 and $100,000.00.

However there are firms such as Meraki that would do it for circa $10K.

Please See: http://meraki.com/solutions/business/municipal/

Be sure to see the case studies in the right Sidebar.

Another approach might be to WiFi all of the pool areas, or to place equipment in a number of strategically located Association buildings, with their permission of course.

Bill proposes ISPs, Wi-Fi keep logs for police

If this comes to pass, will the Wi-Fi in the Clubhouse go away, or will we have to hire an administrator to monitor our Wi-Fi logs?
