A request has been received at city council to install a wireless relay at the city’s airport beacon site.Ben Peach, representing China Creek Internet and residents of East Grand Forks, was on hand at the committee of the whole meeting to give a presentation on the project.Peach said the location would be ideal to allow wireless Internet to homes in the east Grand Forks area that do not currently get it due to their location.“It’s ideally suited, geographically,” he said. “We also like the site because it’s easily accessible pretty much all year long.”Peach said it’s also much easier put this into an existing site where land titles are already in place.China Creek would install a small (12-15 inches tall) pipe or mast beside the building, inside the beacon compound.The company has also stated that they’re willing to provide remote monitoring at the site to help protect their repeater, as well as the beacon.“They’re good at providing Internet access to people who are isolated—that’s their niche,” said Mayor Brian Taylor. “It gives us some advantages too. The things they’re able to provide as far as security are very attractive to us.”The project will not cost the city, said Taylor.“But having them there may make our emergency airport lights safer,” he said.
