In-Building Wireless for Hotels and Resorts
Guest satisfaction is the main priority for the hospitality industry. Wireless connectivity has become one of the key deciding factors on where guests choose to stay and return. Whether travelling on business or pleasure, guests expect to use their mobile devices to talk, text, browse the internet and stream videos without interruption.
In today’s always-on economy, cellular coverage is considered the “fourth utility” alongside power, water, and heating/air conditioning. There is motivation for hospitality to provide this wireless utility as a competitive differentiator – be it for increasing their bookings or increasing guests’ satisfaction.
Seamless cellular coverage is no longer a nice-to-have, it has become a necessity.
