WiFi Gator grew from the need to provide simple and secure wireless communications
for FEMA and forest fire fighters. Founder, Chuck Dejarnett was originally
contracted to deploy wifi hotspots around fire camps and for FEMA workers
in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina and Rita. He developed a unique
system that creates an efficient self healing wireless mesh network for
any number of locations by placing the nodes in strategic locations and
letting them configure themselves.
With the help of Co-founder Loren Wolsiffer, the team immediately realized
the unlimited numbers of application in the real world and set forth to
build the next generation WiFi Gator network. As part of product development,
a software version, has been developed and sold over the web resulting
in a test market of approximately 500 installations of the WiFi Gator
worldwide. Additionally, full power hardware and software versions have
been tested in several private hotels. Test market results have revealed
a demand for WiFi Gator in several well organized target industries:
• Hotels, motels, campgrounds, restaurants and other hospitality
businesses
• Airports, marinas, convention centers, fairgrounds and other
large outdoor venues
• Apartment and condominium complexes
• Doctors offices, car dealerships and other professional businesses
with waiting rooms
• Emergency response agencies
We decided to offer a "do it your self" solution as well as
pre built solutions.
The "Do it yourself" is a qiuck wifi captive portal setup,
load the dvd into a fresh computer and click "install" and then
reboot the computer,swarm and freeradious are running.

that we offer free of charge and point it to your servers IP address.
