Local Chicago area wireless Internet service BARRINGTON|WiFi opens its doors to the Northwestern suburbs and Chicago-land to help secure local residents and businesses from potential Internet thieves.
December 8, 2004 (Press Release) --
With over 15 years of IT experience, Chris Carrier has created an organization that will help people use their electronics with wireless freedom and with a security that they wouldn't have put into place themselves. Close to 80% of people who use wireless devices do not have a security measure in place, allowing anyone - neighbors or random hackers - to log onto their personal network and steal any information from their computers. Banking information, login passwords, critical company documents and more are at the mercy of the security network in place. If that network is not specifically encrypted, anyone can break into the network and take what they want.
"People are especially vulnerable over the holidays because many people shop online for gifts for their family and business associates," says Carrier. "The moment you enter credit card numbers or banking information over the Internet could leave you vulnerable to thievery."
The company not only assists those with security issues, but can also help get a company or home un-wired by offering the hardware as well as the expertise to set it up. "We will order the equipment, install it, encrypt the signal and get you up and running in one day. We offer all types of other equipment as well, such as computers, laptops, PDA’s and even home entertainment items including WiFi MP3 players, Media Center PC’s and Media Center Extenders," Carrier adds.
For those offices that would like to give their clients and customers an added benefit, BARRINGTON|Wifi sells Internet Hotspot access points. A Hotspot, once installed, can provide your customers Internet access while they visit your location. An added benefit to the business is potential increased revenue from the sale of access cards and the increased traffic to utilize the Internet at their location. The business could also provide the service free of charge to their customers who will surely enjoy the opportunity to roam the Internet while they eat lunch, wait for their doctor, get their oil changed or while their laundry is drying. "The opportunity for Hotspots is immense for both businesses and consumers alike," says Carrier. "As more and more equipment comes with wireless technology automatically installed, the more people will want Internet access available to them wherever they are."
