Arena co-founded Net2Net Corporation and wrote its business plan, seeking $12 million in outside capital in multiple financing rounds to launch its first product, a fiber optic network analyzer positioned against Hewlett-Packard. The plan covered the market opportunity, competitive positioning, sales and distribution strategy, and five-year financial projections. The company launched successfully, sold its first product to the Hong Kong Airport, and was later acquired by Fluke Instruments, with a favorable return to investors.
Commissioned by a growing home automation company to evaluate the financials of a potential acquisition and recommend an offer price. The analysis uncovered a major hole in the target's financials, and the client passed on the deal — a decision later validated.
Engaged by the board of an oceanfront high-rise community association to create an all-encompassing training manual for management and support staff. The manual covered day-to-day operations, the budgeting process, and emergency protocols including hurricane preparation and disaster recovery.
Arena presented a session at the Community Associations Institute (CAI) Community NOW national conference on how artificial intelligence-driven “Predictive Maintenance” can help community associations protect their critical infrastructure.
Arena teaches CAM continuing-education (CEU) courses on Capital Reserve Studies and AI-Enhanced Predictive Maintenance, and has presented to community association audiences from Tampa to Fort Myers, as well as at the CAI National Conference and the High-Rise Managers conference.
Full-service management of a luxury Gulf-front mid-rise condominium tower with $3M operating and $4M capital budgets. Special projects included managing the Florida-mandated SIRS process and funding analysis and revamping the building's internet network to facilitate on-site, remote, and hybrid meetings.
Governance support for a multi-corporation, owner-managed condominium community of townhomes and detached homes. Negotiated an attractive bulk Internet and streaming video contract, saving the community several hundred thousand dollars over the life of the contract. Redesigned the access control and video surveillance systems.
Designed and built a Dolby Atmos media room with a 4K HDR television, plus whole-house audio and high-definition video distribution throughout the residence. Every room has individually controlled stereo sound and a 4K television, fed by a UHD matrix switch. The media room supports 4K Blu-ray and high-bandwidth streaming, and the system also plays the owner's legacy analog media, including vinyl records and VCR tapes.
The client needed a professional home office, but poor internet connectivity and no cell phone service made video conferences unreliable. The home's hurricane-resistant construction was blocking both Wi-Fi and cellular signals. ARC hard-wired all key computer and camera devices and installed a cell signal repeater that brings outside carrier signals in and rebroadcasts them throughout the home. The client now has reliable video conferencing and full cell coverage in every room.
