Bath, NY
Project Objective
The scope of this project is to provide new wireless internet access for Veterans and their guests in Building 78. The project involved the design of a Wi-Fi system for patient and visitor access. The system will provide for managed, filtered access to the internet for patients and their visitors. The system is designed to utilize the most current wireless technology available at the time of the design (802.11AC).
