While 2008 was a tough year for the RV industry, that did not slow down the growth of wireless web access for RVers.
According to WiFiRV, sales of their Internet access service for RVers continue to rise, even in a down economy.
2008 was a banner season for WiFiRV,” said John Borg II, CEO and founder of WiFiRV. “Now more than ever, RV and campground owners need to stay connected to the world. Our goal is to provide the best, fastest, most reliable Internet service to as many of them as possible.”
With parks becoming more competitive to attract patron travelers during the economic downturn Borg opened the budget for 2009 to meet their goal of bringing no more than 250 new properties online this year. WiFi is considered the most economical way to get Internet access to campers. That said, Borg warns property managers and owners that WiFi is not without challenges.
24×7 support is needed for this demographic, outdoor wireless engineering is difficult in RV resort terrain, and having a team of engineers nationwide is nearly required to ensure reliability for travelers needing online.
