The Beacon Wi-Fi team is enjoying bringing a proven technology to new markets”. “We have a multi-pronged growth strategy, starting with solid and reliable wireless system development. Then through several sales offices, partnerships and acquisitions, we plan to rapidly deploy marinas throughout the country making services available to many boat owners for the 2003 season.
