Sept 21, 2004: Statistically, this has been one of Florida's worst years for hurricanes.  In the past six weeks, the state has been pounded by no less than three major hurricanes.  While Florida picks up the pieces, ArTrac is giving a clear picture of where the pieces lie for several wireless companies.

With two systems operating in Florida, we've had some interesting insight to the untold story of the effects that a major class hurricane has on a wireless network.  We've also had an opportunity to measure ArTrac G4's performance and reliability in the worst of conditions.

It goes without saying that until we see the performance of the system under real conditions, our prediction of how the system will be perform is based on lab simulations that are limited in their ability to permute all of the possible variations of faults encountered in a live storm.  We have a good idea of how the product will perform but the proof is in the pudding.

The string of Florida hurricanes represent the first major storm conditions that the ArTrac G4 system has encountered since its introduction to the market.  With over 50 tower sites knocked out of service statewide (see the photograph to the left), the ArTrac systems were flooded with a major storm of alarms.  Throughout the entire barrage of storms, we are pleased to note that, true to their design, both ArTrac systems maintained 100% availability with zero down time.  Today, ArTrac is helping our customers in Florida restore service to their customers.
