Bosch Cameras Help Make Copper Mining In Chile More Secure And Productive

a.p.i. Monitoring Adds Support For IP Communications From Bosch Systems

A long-discussed plan to bring free WiFi to downtown Beaufort could be up and running by the end of February. A “wire-cutting” ceremony is tentatively planned for Feb. 28. Main Street Beaufort, USA, has been working with Hargray Communications and the city of Beaufort on the plan, which would bring wireless Internet service to the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park. Transmission equipment would be set up at the park’s pavilion and at the restrooms near the playground. “I’m ready to pull my big scissors out of my closet and sharpen them up so we cut that wire,” Main Street Beaufort executive director LaNelle Fabian said. “I love when we cross long-term projects off our list.” To use the WiFi on a smartphone, tablet, computer or other device, people will have to pass through a landing page with advertisements, information and links related to Beaufort. The service, which will cost $9,000 for the first year, is being paid for in part by that advertising. There are 17 ad spaces, with costs ranging from $375 to $1,500 for the banner at the top of the page, Fabian said. “I tried to keep the price down and small-business friendly, because our first go-around is going to be to downtown businesses so they can target the people who are downtown,” she said. Main Street seeks $4,500 in accommodations-tax money from the city to pay for the rest. The accommodations tax, often referred to as a “bed tax,” is a levy on overnight lodging […]
