In the Sun ...
This sounds ideal :
"Our 18-hour journey from London to the Maldives in the Indian Ocean culminates in a thrilling seaplane ride from the main island, Male."
Sea and sun sounds good but the real draw is how this place is using Wireless Networks.
Two chaps are installing the network which has to reach across both islands.
"This mast is a bit of gift", said Andy's colleague, Daniel Willberg. "It's nice and sturdy and should allow us to get our antenna above the line of the palm trees so that signal gets out to both the islands."
They seem to be doing well :
"It seems to be working well, both around the main island and in the holiday villas right at the far end of the smaller island. In one villa, I even got coverage in the jacuzzi."
What's really interesting is how they see it working :
"With the resort booking system now available via wireless, there are plans to make checking visitors in and out more portable.
Instead of guests hanging around in reception when they arrive, staff with PDAs could check them in as they hop off the seaplane.
It all means that visitors get to the beach that much quicker. Once they are there, only time will tell whether they really will be reaching for the laptop alongside the sun cream and the snorkel. "
Sea, sun and wifi what more can you want ?
