CEDX

Fleet Week Special!

Bounding from shore to shore on Long Island, CEDX is putting to sea (or sound, as it is) with the Huntington Yacht Club.  The club has retained us to create and manage a Wi-Fi network for members and transients, covering the slips, moorings, and pool area.  The net will also cover most of Huntington Harbor.  CEDX will create accounts for the members, and transients will sign up online via credit card.  As we go forward, CEDX will help the club establish reciprocal roaming agreements with other clubs around Long Island and the eastern seaboard.  Members will also have access to onshore  and rolling Wi-RAN hotspots at no additional charge as part of our agreement.  The network should be operational in about two weeks.

The Armada Expands

Twenty-six coaches up, and ten more to go!  I think we can claim the world's largest motorcoach Wi-Fi deployment now...  If you're on any of the following Hampton Jitney coaches, you can surf the web with abandon!

Thank you, Mr. Townsend

Paul Townsend passed away this past Saturday, leaving a tear in the fabric of Long Island's pragmatic community activists.  I didn't really get to know Mr. Townsend very well, seeing him at LIMBA meetings, exclusively.  I really didn't learn about the depth of his accomplishments until very recently.  He was most active when I was a kid, bringing to a halt the inexorable march of Robert Moses at the tip of Fire Island.  Without him, I would not be doing business there today, although I didn't realize that until the day before he passed.  I am truly sorry that I did not get to thank him.  I found this picture of Paul, Najeeb Halaby, and Paul's friend Hank Boerner on Hank's website. They were perusing a model of the SST, which never took flight, but I hope that it helps us remember Mr. Townsend as a big thinker and a big doer.  Not everything may work out the way that you plan, but you have to strive for it, and not be afraid to fail.  Mr. Townsend succeeded at so many good things, he has left Long Island a better place than it was when he arrived.
