Shane Harris, CEO of Jupiter Hotels, said: “Our priority is to ensure we offer a safe and reliable WiFi offering to all our guests. Our investment guarantees that all guests are offered a quality free WiFi offering as well as ensuring a faster bandwidth for streaming is available to guests that require it.
“The lines between business and leisure travel continue to overlap as travel trends and working lives change – the growing requirement for free WiFi in hotels is a reflection of this. Whether on their phones or working on the go, internet access is an essential part of our guests’ day to day lives and it is important that we continue to meet the needs of our guests.”
The system upgrade also includes a new branded user interface and additional guest services, including News and Weather information and a dynamic Guest Directory.
The latest HP networking wireless controllers, access points and network switches are being deployed in this wireless infrastructure with excellent coverage and signal to noise ratios.
