The number of public Wi-Fi hotspots is expected to increase by 350 percent in the next four years, as operators look for ways to offload traffic from their mobile networks, according to a report by market research company Informa Telecoms and Media.

By 2015 users around the world will be able to connect to 5.8 million public hotspots, Informa wrote in the “Global developments in public Wi-Fi” report, which was commissioned by Wireless Broadband Alliance. WBA members include AT&T, Boingo, Cisco Systems, Deutsche Telekom and Google. Its goal is to make Wi-Fi services easier to use.

The compact EAP700 in a small form factor lays snug in a standard wall outlet box, and hides the wall cutout with its faceplate. For organizations that are already wired for Ethernet access and looking to add a wireless connection, EAP700 comes with the interfaces for both wired and wireless access. Its front panel features LED status indicators and a RJ45 wall jack. With RJ45 connector on the front, EAP700 further brings in network access flexibility – a user can connect to the Internet at his choice, wired or wireless!

The PoE-capable EAP700 has the benefit of running fewer cables in the duct. The Power over Ethernet (PoE) LAN port on the front of EAP700 serves as the power feed as well as the wired network feed. Optionally, it can also be powered via an AC adapter when PoE switch is not available on site. By utilizes thin AP technology, EAP700 stands for low costs, high performance, industrial-standard wireless security, and seamless integration into the existing wired network.

Standalone, EAP700 is an easy-to-install and cost-effective solution for most of indoor wireless deployments, including hotel rooms, apartments, offices, classrooms, libraries, private homes, public kiosks, etc. When connected to one of 4ipnet Controllers, the combined network turns into an intelligent building solution, a managed Internet service, or a Wi-Fi hotspot network of various scales. Multi-pack is available at lower cost to contractors/builders for larger deployments. For more information, please contact SF WiFi. info@sfwifi.com

SF WiFi boasts a team of characters that renovates Hospitality, SMB, SME and hotspot wireless in record time. It sounds simple, but sparks fly (not really) and tempers are high (legacy resellers) before the fixer-uppers are ready to go back online.

Will “Flip my WiFi” get picked up by a major cable TV channel? That’s doubtful. But if it does you can expect to watch it on a wireless IPTV. In HD!

Hotel guests are now pounding the hotel wireless networks with their iPhones, Netbooks, laptops and connecting to traffic intense sites like Pandora, YouTube, Hulu and maybe connecting back to their office for email and work. Nowadays almost no vacation lacks a few business emails.

A wireless network with spotty coverage, poor design, downtime, lack of features will drive guests away.

I have been told by a few clients that guests will not even check in if there isn’t sufficient wireless at the hotel. 

SF WiFi resolves wireless network issues. Our Hotel General Managers are happy and the guests don’t complain to the front desk!! Well maybe guests still complain about the continental breakfast – but we can’t support that.

SF WiFi offers s FREE site survey to gather the necessary information for a proper wireless design.
