Doug Kandle provided a printed outline to the Airport Commission members and

He explained a plan whereby hangar owners could outfit their hangars with
security equipment, accessed by Wi -Fi. He presented the purpose of such a plan,
the abilities it would have, and the approximate cost for equipment and a shared
Wi -Fi subscription. This plan would include provision by the Airport of an antenna
for the Wi -Fi connection. He also presented various configurations, based on the
individual needs of the hangar owner.
Discussion followed with questions, possible problems and suggestions being
offered by the members.
Following the meeting, Doug will provide a tour of his hangar to any who are
interested in seeing how his security system is set up.

up a working demo. Airport tenants will be contacted by email or letter with
information on the subject, to see who might be interested in such a plan.
