W. L. French Goes Wireless!


Wi-Fi service is now available at our main office location and at the maintenance location.

The installation of Wireless Internet services was a growing necessity for a multitude of reasons. This service will greatly improve productivity of diagnostics on machines and equipment for our mechanics, improve portability for our engineers who move throughout the office, and improve access for our outside accounting firm, sales people making presentations, etc who need Internet access while in our buildings.

This added feature will lessen the burden for others to configure to our network while in our buildings and maximize time and productivity.
