SF WiFi is noticing increased usage of handheld mobile devices across wireless networks.

SF WiFi designs, installs, and continues to support the wireless networks that keeps guests happy and satisfied.

Hotel Wireless Solutions

May 7, 2010 Ron Wilhelm

Hospitality Wireless case study:

Hotel Specs: The property consists of 5 floors, 58 rooms, café bar and restaurant and 2 meeting rooms. Guests were complaining that the wireless coverage was limited, connections and performance was erratic. Adding additional Wi-Fi access points (APs) was not an option because there was no way to extend ethernet cabling throughout the property. The client needed an innovative solution that would satisfy customers without disrupting business or breaking their capital budget.

SF WiFi gets the call – Project Requirements:

Wireless coverage throughout the entire hotel

Minimize the number of access points

Minimize, mitigate RF interference

Install AP’s where Ethernet can’t reach

Centralized and simplified management

Reduce install times

Self-configuring, self-tuning adaptive wireless

Reliable and stable with no support calls

Consistent performance

SF WiFi solution:

To work around and to minimize the need for additional ethernet cabling we designed a wireless mesh network. This design implements a WLAN managed mesh network to extend wireless coverage into difficult areas. This design limited the amount of cable required, reduced costs and simplified the installation.

Benefits:

Reduced capital costs by eliminating the need to run ethernet

Dependable Wi-Fi signal quality

Single Wi-Fi solution for entire hotel

Mesh design simplified AP placement (product feature)

Automatic interference avoidance (product feature)

Automatic failover and resiliency (product feature)

Wi-Fi coverage with fewer APs (product feature)

Utilized Power over Ethernet

One third the cost of “other” wireless product solutions
