Practical technology.
Personal service.

Consulting, networks and support for Grand Strand businesses since 2010. The person who answers the phone is the person who does the work.

Consulting & support

Networks, Wi-Fi, cameras, and someone to call when they stop working.

Technology consulting

Work out what a change will actually involve before you commit to it. We look at what you are running now, what it is costing you to keep, and whether replacing it is worth the disruption.

Networks & managed Wi-Fi

Wireless that holds up when the building is full. Coverage planned for the walls you actually have, with guest traffic kept off the network your business runs on.

Monitoring & security cameras

Remote monitoring and management so problems surface before you notice them, plus camera coverage, recording and access for your premises.

Updating MS Office with Microsoft Endpoint Manager

My apologies that this isn’t really a technical write-up. I just got really frustrated trying to find answers as to why I was stuck at “Install Pending” and feel like this part of the process is skipped in any existing Microsoft Office Volume documentation. Of course always setup a deployment test group and verify it is successful there first!

DJI Spark Gimbal Calibration

UPDATE 01/19/2022: I no longer have a DJI Spark but it looks like they have changed the commands for the DJI serial tools. My Air2 is working great so I haven’t had to use this yet but specifying –port before your COM port and -vv before your model will likely give the desired results. First, […]

You get the owner, not a ticket queue.

The business started as The NMB Geek in 2010 and became Choice Technology Solutions, LLC in 2018. The name on the invoice changed. The person answering the phone did not.

If you have worked with CTS or The NMB Geek before, you are in the right place, and the number has not changed.
