Waterfront Technology That Actually Works
Marinas face challenges most IT providers never see. Weather-resistant equipment, long-distance WiFi to docks, seasonal traffic spikes, and the reality that guests expect connectivity as good as their home network — while operating outdoors.
Challenges We Solve
- Weather-Resistant Infrastructure — Outdoor-rated equipment that handles humidity, temperature swings, and marine environments.
- Long-Range Connectivity — WiFi that reaches from the office to the farthest slip and every dock in between.
- Seasonal Business Rhythms — Systems that scale up for peak season and don't cost you during the off-months.
- Multi-Building Networks — Ship store, restaurant, fuel dock, office, and boat storage all on one unified network.
- Point-of-Sale Reliability — Fuel systems, ship store POS, and restaurant payment processing that just works.
- Security & Surveillance — Camera systems that protect boats, equipment, and property 24/7.
Common Solutions We Deploy
UniFi Enterprise WiFi
Outdoor-rated access points with long-range antennas for dock coverage. Seamless roaming from parking lot to slip.
Cellular Backup
Automatic failover for when the primary internet drops — critical during busy weekends when your ISP goes down.
Fuel Dock POS
Integrated payment processing at the fuel dock, ship store, and restaurant with real-time inventory sync.
Marine Cameras
Weatherproof surveillance covering docks, boat storage, and property. Cloud-recorded for insurance and security.
Guest WiFi Portal
Branded splash page for guest connectivity with usage limits and separation from your business network.
Multi-Building Backhaul
Wireless bridges connecting the ship store, office, and outbuildings without trenching cable everywhere.
Sample Scenario
For a Northern Michigan marina with 200 slips, a ship store, fuel dock, and restaurant needing WiFi coverage across the entire property, reliable POS for three separate business areas, and camera surveillance for boat storage, we would deploy a UniFi mesh network with weatherproof outdoor APs, integrate the POS systems onto a segmented network, and install a 16-camera system with 30-day cloud retention — all monitored 24/7 from our operations center.
