03/30/2017 AD worked

Rick, Muu and Bie arrive in Yangon, Myanmar to install the ISG. It's purpose is to provide free WiFi for mall visitors.
Unregistered visitors receive one hour of free Internet, whereas registered users get a much faster speed and a longer connection.
However, registering subjects the user to email advertisement.

Muu & Bie in Lobby — Officially, Muu is here to translate for Bie. The Junction City crew are bi-lingual Burmese/English. Bie says he only speaks Thai, but he reads English and understands much of what I say.

Muu with AP — Muu holds one of the access points that are mounted on the ceilings throughout the mall. These are the devices which both allow you to connect to free WiFi and track the number and location of visitors.

JC Interface Design — These are the screens that the visitor sees in the course of connecting to the free WiFi at Junction City Mall. Due to the complex flow required, Cakebox was called in to develop it.

Bie tweeks the JC Backend — Here Bie sits on the floor in the server room - which is very cold and uncomfortable - as he makes some last minute changes to the backend. This is the program that allows the Junction City engineers to monitor and configure the server.

All eyes on Bie — A crowd of engineers gathers around Bie as he loads the server with the Cakebox backend software. The server delivers the login pages to the visitors, sends data to a database in Singapore, and tracks the visitors. Rick tries to explain everything so Bie can work!

Rick hooks up AP — While Bie is installing software, the guys in the background continue to mount and configure access points throughout the mall. Since they are not done yet, we have to go out to the mall and down 2 escalators in order to test the login and registration. Rick finally installs an access point in the server room so this is no longer necessary.
