The Internet is a valuable resource for RV vacationers. Many select RV sites based on the availability of wireless Internet.

Most RV sites have wireless Internet but many are poorly equipped. Most users complain that the wireless system does not cover the site so they have to take laptops to the clubhouse. RV park owners can also make much more money by increasing coverage and range, offering flexible payment methods, selling login page advertising and rental of long range wireless units for temporary installation on RVs.

• Solution:
