Year in Preview: More Wi-Fi

Mountain Brook Village, Overton Village, English Village and the Mountain Brook High School athletic complex should have Wi-Fi access by the year’s end. The installations are part of the City’s budget for Fiscal Year 2014.

The service was installed at Overton Park and Crestline Village last year. Wireless devices should detect a “City WiFi” network in Overton Park, City IT Director Steve O’Dell said. Once selected, users will see a Mountain Brook splash page come up and be able to accept terms and conditions. Any time the network is accessed after that, no login will be necessary.

The City installed a router and firewall for limited control of site access and viruses with the system.
