ネイパービル公園管区

公共 Wi-Fi を収益化して自治体を支援

Created by referendum in 1966, the Naperville, Illinois Park District is an independent municipal agency serving the recreation needs of its residents. The Naperville Park District’s mission is to provide recreation and park experiences that promote healthy lives, healthy minds and a healthy community.

The District maintains and operates more than 2,400 acres with 137 parks and facilities and provides more than 1,500 recreational, arts and environmental programs and special events annually. Included within the District’s operations are two championship golf courses; a multitude of playgrounds, trails, athletic courts and sports fields; Fort Hill Activity Center; Knoch Knolls Nature Center; two inline skating and skateboarding facilities; the Millennium Carillon; a paddleboat quarry; historic Centennial Beach; and the beautiful Riverwalk.

The Challenge

公園内の多くの場所で、ワイヤレス カバレッジは「むら」があるか、全く存在しませんでした。レクリエーション施設や屋外施設でのWi-Fi 導入のリクエストが殺到したため、パークディストリクトでは最も人気のある2つの公園である100周年記念ビーチ&ロータリーヒルでのWi-Fi 導入を検討しました。最初の見積もりでは、初年度のみの機器とWi-Fiサービスにかかる費用が$72,000でした。水上施設が最も使用される夏季の3か月間のみで、およそ4,000台のデバイスのみを使用すると予想していたので、この見積もりは資金の上限をはるかに超えていました。

要件

メリット
  • Naperville Park District patrons are able to spend more time at the park since they can stay connected via Wi-Fi
  • The service was deployed at no cost to tax payers
  • The RUCKUS Wi-Fi can easily be extended via meshing and can also support IP video and other applications
  • Powerful Wi-Fi analytics provide new insights to park management to optimize schedule and resource utilization, and to enhance program marketing activities
  • Planning on expanding Wi-Fi services to more parks this year
