Apartment Wireless Project

The El Rey Apartments located in San Rafael were constructed in 1929. Similar to many San Francisco apartment buildings of the era, it is of the Mediterranean Revival architectural style. It is known as Marin’s first luxury apartment building. The architects of this handsome structure focused on the fine details, including the ornate lobby, decorative exterior molding and ceramic tile roof.

The property owners commissioned SF WiFi to design and install their new wireless network. This project entailed saturating the property with signal for tenant apartments and common areas. Our wireless solution provides superior coverage, ease of use management features to seamlessly support today’s mobile user.

Security Cameras – Priceless

San Francisco: Suspect held in Picasso theft; artwork unharmed.

(cut to the excerpt on security cameras):
The gallery had no security camera, but Lefty O’Doul’s restaurant down the street did. Its footage showed a man in a dark jacket, light-colored slacks, loafers and no socks walking west on Geary with a framed artwork under his left arm, partly obscured by a newspaper

Project: Wireless – 360 Residences

360 Residences Wireless Project

Conveniently located in downtown San Jose, the 360 Residences deemed it necessary to accommodate it technologically savvy clientele with wireless networking. SF WiFi was commissioned to design and install this new network for the impressive glass tower’s recreational and business areas.

Our designer recognized this network needed to

• Stable enough to support a high capacity of users
• Provide exceptional signal coverage throughout the building’s rooms and pool area
• and contain ease of use features.

These features are very important since the average person will use multiple wireless devices (mobile phones and computers) simultaneously. After installation our technicians measured the network’s stability and ensured it was seamless, reliable, and secure.

Soaring 23 story high rise above the SoFa district, the grand architecture and sweeping glass tower dramatically redefines the San Jose skyline.

Check out this link to a video of the property. The wireless network covers the pool, fitness and patio areas of the apartments. These areas can be seen starting at the one minute mark of the video. We were so impressed with the aerial shots and model rendering of the 23 story high rise that the SF WiFi marketing department thought we should share this with you. Enjoy.

The Pineapple – Symbol of Hospitality

The pineapple has been a universal symbol of hospitality and welcome for many centuries all over the world.

To the Caribbean’s, the pineapple symbolized hospitality, and the Spaniards soon learned they were welcome if a pineapple was placed by the entrance to a village. This symbolism spread to Europe, then to Colonial North America, where it became the custom to carve the shape of a pineapple into the columns at the entrance of a plantation.

Another story tells that New England ship captains would return from their journeys and would put a pineapple around people’s houses as a symbol of a safe return. The pineapple has such a unique style to it that it was often used as the centerpiece in food banquets. The pineapple remains the symbol of hospitality today. A warm welcoming sense that says you are welcome to come in.

At SF WiFi we have our own take on the Hospitality pineapple.
