Founded by CEO Matt Demaree, HTDNET offers whole office\u00a0<\/span> solutions \u2013 from computers and networks to phone systems.<\/span> The firm provides their expertise and support to a wide range<\/span> of businesses, from companies just starting up to established\u00a0<\/span> businesses interested in upping their technological game.

The Need: Reliable Devices and Vast Wi-Fi Coverage at\u00a0<\/span> an Affordable Price.<\/span><\/h4>\n

If you\u2019re like many Managed Service Providers, you have a go-to brand for your wireless network needs \u2013 one you use time and time again on the majority of your deployments. What happens when that company\u2019s product lets you down by repeatedly failing? You get frustrated, and so do your clients.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

No one wants their customers to ask, \u201cWhy does this hardware always break?\u201d Unfortunately, that\u2019s what was happening to HTDNET. Devices from two different commonly used brands failed annually, and invariably these breakdowns occurred at the least convenient time \u2013 for everyone.
\nAnd while each client\u2019s needs are important, some of HTDNET\u2019s clients, like the Remington Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department, have zero margin for equipment failure. People\u2019s lives literally depend on a pairing of effective emergency personnel and equipment. Matt Demaree, CEO of HTDNET, was determined to find a product that both he and his customers could trust. That search led him to EnGenius.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe (devices) have all the options that we need. We look for PoE switches just because of ease of deployment. \r\nWe don\u2019t have to worry about running an electrical cable for the devices themselves\u2026 so they\u2019re really easy to set up\u201d\r\n\r\nMatt Demaree, CEO of HTDNET<\/span><\/pre>\n
The Solution: The EnTurbo Series<\/h4>\n
HTDNET opted to deploy the EnTurbo Series, including the EAP1300 Access Point, which is a ceiling-mount device with turbocharged quad-core processors. The EAP1300 delivers next generation, business-class Wi-Fi at exceptional pricing, making it an excellent fit for businesses who want to future-proof their networks affordably.HTDNET\u2019s clients in rural Virginia, including the Remington Fire Station, greatly benefit from the EnTurbo\u2019s overall performance and client capacity. Fluctuating client density can cause performance problems as users join and leave the Wi-Fi network, but it\u2019s easily managed by the EnGenius EnTurbo Series.In addition to providing reliable Wi-Fi for the emergency staff, HTDNET helped revamped the networks so that visitors to the fire station could also access Wi-Fi via a universal password. Because the fire stations regularly host community-based functions like pancake breakfasts or dinner events, their networks might host anywhere from ten staff members to hundreds of visitors on a given day.<\/p>\n

The Result: An Affordable and Reliable Network That Is Easy to Manage<\/h4>\n
Scrapping the existing devices and installing EnGenius products has made a huge difference at the Remington Fire Station. \u201cBefore HTDNET installed our EnGenius Wi-Fi access points, we had about ten different devices placed throughout the station, and only portions of the building had coverage. We now have three EnGenius devices \u2026 and have 100% coverage throughout the station, reaching average speeds upwards of 400 Mbps. During events, hundreds of guests are invited to use the public wireless connection,\u201d said Bobby Hitt, Vice President of the Remington Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department.HTDNET is very satisfied with EnGenius products, and they use \u201call the EnGenius products as often as we can.\u201d EnGenius devices meet their need for reliability at an affordable price, and the improved efficiency of EnGenius products affects their bottom line in many ways.\u201cThe (devices) have all the options that we need. We look for PoE switches just because of ease of deployment. We don\u2019t have to worry about running an electrical cable for the devices themselves \u2026 so they\u2019re really easy to set up,\u201d stated CEO Matt Demaree. Another perk? \u201cThe remote reboot option on the Wi-Fi devices, and rebooting on a schedule. It just helps to keep the connections fresh and clean.\u201dDemaree is also a fan of EnGenius diagnostics, which go beyond diagnosing issues with the actual devices. Says Demaree, \u201c\u2026 With the switches, we were even able to run diagnostics on the cables themselves, which was really helpful for us.\u201dHe also appreciates the \u201ccustomized default settings\u201d that the EnGenius EnTurbo devices offer. When installing an additional AP at one of the fire stations, Demaree couldn\u2019t recall his admin password and finally had to resort to a factory reset. Thankfully, he\u2019d set the factory default to his custom settings. Mr. Demaree explained, \u201cWhen I factory reset them all I actually had to do was change the password. It just reset the password for the admin user, and we were able to access and configure the rest of them. It saved me a lot of time, and I was like \u201cOh, I\u2019m so glad I did that!\u201dLet the EnTurbo Series turbocharge your network\u2019s performance, reliability, and efficiency.\u00a0Learn more about EnTurbo today!
