Need to share an Internet-like connection across
two or more sites or buildings? A solution is
“WiFi radio,” which tech guru Rob Caluori will
explain and explore at the March 7 general meeting. WiFi radio has greater range than
ordinary WiFi. It unleashes the potential of WiFi
to go beyond your four walls, beam a WiFi signal
on the other side of your property for that security camera or shed, and even can connect directly across to buildings without using the internet (useful in an emergency!).

Rob Caluori has worked at Westchester Library
System since 2007 where he currently serves as
the director of information technology. He brings
experience from various areas of IT from working
in the medical, financial, and library industries.
He’s a member of local HAM radio club Westchester Emerg Comm Assn (WECA.org).
Rob holds MS degrees from Pace University in
Information Systems and SUNY Albany in
Information Science as well as a BS in Information Systems from Mercy College.

Operation Clean Slate
