Yachts
want easy access to Wi-Fi.
From our first network in St. Maarten in 1997,
MCC Wi-Fi
has built marine broadband systems that are reliable and secure,
yet user friendly. Our secure access, remote system monitoring
and customer service are the standard of comparison.
Wi-Fi is
part of a marina’s marketing effort.
Yachts often come to a marina as a result of the roaming Wi-Fi
operator’s marketing on behalf of the marina.
MCC Wi-Fi
networks accept roamers from ATT, Boingo, NNU, WayPort, GRIC,
iPass, and several international telephone companies.
We advertise in major
publications, radio networks, and use direct marketing plan that
points yachts marinas with
MCC Wi-Fi.
The MCC
Wi-Fi no hassle solution: Marina personnel have no duties or
responsibility:
MCC Wi-Fi’s toll-free 24/7 customer support helps
the customers connect, answers all questions, and remotely
monitors operations.
If it breaks, we promptly dispatch a field team.
Design and
Construction is complex.
Marine Wi-Fi networks require special equipment and careful
placement of antennas to compensate for over-water radio
propagation, orientation of the docks and yachts, and the
materials used in yacht construction.
End users with laptop computers can connect up to 100
meters from an access point antenna.
Anchored vessels farther away may need ‘boosters.’
MCC
Wi-Fi’s friendly subscriber plans are completely flexible.
They can be layered to provide ‘free to user’ access for
guests, a selection of ‘pay to use’ plans for visitors and
roamers, plus a dedicated channel for marina operations and
security.
MCC Wi-Fi networks are
protected from un-authorized users.
‘Open’ networks invite intruders to gain access to the
computers of other users on the network.
A significant number of ‘identity thefts’ can be
attributed to the victim’s use of ‘free’ Wi-Fi.
Users and Marina operators are well advised to utilize
networks that require users to be identified by credit card or
other means, and that the log-in process is done through a
secure link (‘SSL’)
MCC networks authenticate every user
with unique username, password, and by capture of the MAC
address of the user’s computer. All
of this information is transmitted via a secure encrypted
Virtual Private Network and verified by a radius server, before
the end-user is allowed access to the network.
