Assisted living facilities and nursing homes all across the United Kingdom were in search of technology solutions that would allow them to provide residents with better healthcare options as well as social inclusion. Tele-healthcare is ideally suited for assisted living facilities where it is often challenging for residents to travel to doctors’ offices. The challenge for these facilities was identifying the ideal technology to deliver telehealthcare solutions. Also, as we rely more and more on the web, apps, and social media to keep in touch, senior care facilities wanted to offer access to such tools to allow residents to stay up-to-date and keep in touch with friends and family.

Riversong Cottages is a “modern, cozy, and boutique” accommodation in Murchison, South Island, New Zealand. Nestled in the countryside amongst the Buller River and mountain views, Riversong features 2 two-bedroom cottages, a studio unit, and the main building.

As WiFi access is expected from most travelers, Riversong needed to offer its guests strong, reliable wireless internet access. As the cottages and main building are spread throughout the property, long-range WiFi AP was needed, yet all the options they had tried failed to meet the signal strength and throughput needs of Riversong’s customers.

The company’s greenhouse workers use barcode scanners on smart devices to identify plants, move them, follow watering and fertilizing schedules, and more. With 140,000 square meters to cover, the Linksys WiFi APs they were using left a lot to be desired in terms of range and signal strength. Their Linksys APs also were not weatherproof and often experienced issues due to heat and humidity.

The Solution

Semillero Deitana chose to implement Grandstream’s GWN7600LR WiFi APs throughout their 140,000 square meter greenhouse. The GWN7600LR solved all of their problems by offering them a network of weatherproof WiFi APs that could stand up to the conditions of their greenhouse, which was set at 85% humidity and 32ºC (90ºF) temperature. The GWN7600LR ranges up to 300 meters to cover more space with fewer APs while achieving stronger signal strength.
