We
are now the largest marina Wi-Fi operator in Europe currently servicing
1 million minutes of usage per month a figure that is increasing
at a rate of 25% per month. We subscribe up to 100 new users
every day, more than any other Wi-Fi operator in the UK.
Our
service means you have high-speed access to email and internet at
any one of our marinas under one subscription.
The Square Mile network
is used for everyday activities from email and web chat sessions,
to stock trading, video conferencing and VPN connections.
From liveaboards using
this as a vital connectivity tool, to sailors viewing last minute
weather conditions and tidal reports before sailing - this has been
a natural progression of Internet usage.
Accredited as part of
the Intel Wireless Verification Program and a partner of the Wi-Fi
alliance scheme, Square Mile has standardised the network infrastructure
at each location to make it as simple as possible to connect.

Race
Course Yacht Basin Windsor
Bea Butler has a 42 foot
Dutch Val Kruiser moored at Racecourse Yacht Basin, Windsor, and
runs an IT support company Sycom Ltd from her offices in Reading.
“My company offers
IT support to businesses 24 hours a day seven days a week, so I
have to be easily contacted by customers at any time,” said
Bea.
“When Square Mile
set up their wireless internet service this summer at the Racecourse
Yacht Basin at Windsor, I could see the value to me immediately,
so about four months ago I took out a subscription,” she continued.
“I spend a lot
of time on my boat and need to be able to access my office system
remotely at any time of day or night. I have found the wireless
service very useful to me and now, could not manage without it.
“I hope that next summer I will use
the internet access to help plan our cruising on the water.”
