Wi-Fi Guys LLC, which sells managed hotspots for hotels and public facilities through agents, now is installing T-1s and network power controllers to ensure performance and reliability.
Wi-Fi Guys says it began installing network power controllers to address operational inconsistencies within hotels’ disparate high-speed Internet access networks. The technology also provides for remote management, which means each device within the hotel's guest network can be rebooted remotely and separately, eliminating network downtime.
“One of the most frequent complaints we hear from hoteliers is that they constantly need to have front desk staff go into the back room and cycle the power on the [high-speed Internet access] system,” says Chris Swanson, vice president of operations for Wi-Fi Guys. “Often times this needs to be done during the peak check-in hours when front desk staff can not afford to be away from the counter. We have eliminated these types of occurrences within our own networks, and have begun assisting our competitors with the upgrades necessary to make their … networks more reliable. This upgrade is significantly superior and more reliable when compared to traditional … installations found in most hotels today."
