Web access for sailors stationed at the Great Lakes Naval Station is limited, slow, and lacks printers to make prints of letters from home, course assignments and pay information. Offsite locations are several miles away, have inconvenient hours, and are expensive to use. A cyber cafe within walking distance of the base was created by two Navy veterans who hired db3 Broadband to install Motorola's Canopy point-to-point wireless broadband network for fast, reliable web access. As a result sailors can purchase low cost monthly access packages to use the café's 15 computers with printers available as well as gaming systems to send letters and photos or play electronic games with family and friends worldwide.
