Wi-Fi Consultant

The Big Lewbowski decided in his infinite wisdom to hire a Wi-Fi consultant to educate us on the advantages of his (Mr. Israel's) choices for a Wi-Fi He, Mr. Israel, wants a contract in a hurry. He wants a decision now. Lets get going on this.  Bad Idea.

The problem was that Dave did not talk with the Consultant before hand. and thus did not know what he was about to say. If he had he would have cancelled the contract. Which was $1000 for up to 25 people. Well worth the price and time.

The deal is that this guy is a bona fide Wi-Fi Expert and his opinions should be listen to.

So what did he advise?

First off he said both Bidders are to small and to inexperienced for our needs and we should wait and investigate more.

If we are going for a DSL contract, (Dave's Choice), then the critical thing is the tower. We need the approval of the County, the State, The Feds and the Airport. This is not an easy thing to do so wait and investigate.

If we elect to go with Line of site then there is the problem that the wiring in and to the buildings has to be fiber-optic. Who is to supply this? Who pays? Is it included in the bid. More investigation is needed.

The great Mahatma was beside himself with this news, He was so bent out of shape that he threatened to fire Dom, the Chair of the Bid Committee.

Bottom line. More Investigation is needed,  slow down,  lets identify the questions and get answers, do not rush to Judgment.

I have been preaching this since Day One
