Hill Top Property Services is a landscaping company in Ypsilanti, Michigan. With its emphasis on landscaping, property services, lawn care, water features, and irrigation systems, Hill Top technicians have the experience and know-how for tackling large and small projects throughout a wide service area. But as more systems go online, the company’s reputation depends on reliable uptime to ensure proper timing for sprinkler systems and other technologies.
While addressing property needs at a nearby university, the Hill Top team encountered a common issue: For security reasons, they were not permitted to use the university’s on-premise Wi-Fi network. This posed a significant challenge for remotely managing their Wi-Fi-only Hunter Hydrawise smart controller. Hill Top consulted its local Hunter representative, who recommended the OptConnect ascend dura cellular Wi-Fi hotspot.
“Internet access can be a challenge with any outdoor installation, and most customers don't like to give out their Wi-Fi passwords. OptConnect alleviates this problem."
Thanks to OptConnect’s fully managed services, Hill Top quickly retrofitted the site with a plug-and-play ascend dura hotspot in the provided NEMA 4X enclosure. This solution allowed Hill Top to manage the Hydrawise controller cost effectively, utilizing dual-carrier failover with Verizon and AT&T. Additionally, OptConnect tech support can resolve potential Wi-Fi or cellular signal issues promptly, 24/7.
The OptConnect ascend dura Wi-Fi hotspot provides Hill Top Property Services with the cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity its Hydrawise controller needs. That allows for more efficient water management and remote system oversight on campus. Thanks to flexible prepaid data plans, the team can easily monitor data usage at any time, while receiving real-time remote alerts about network events. Designed for outdoor connectivity, the ascend dura fits into a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure for added protection in challenging environments.
Best of all, every ascend dura hotspot is fully managed by OptConnect, allowing Hill Top service professionals to focus on maintaining the college’s green spaces, semester after semester.
