Wireless Hospitality Applications
Guest Broadband public Wifi service - Repeated surveys show that Wi-Fi has become a “must-have” service, topping the wish list of amenities for both business and leisure travelers.

Wireless Work Orders – Facilities personnel with tablet PCs receive and complete work orders wirelessly, and move on to the next assignment without a round trip to the main office.
Staff VoIP Communication – Cell phone bills are reduced when hotel staff use voice-over-Wi-Fi handsets or softphones for instant communications from anywhere on the premises.
Video Surveillance - Wireless IP cameras enable video surveillance of any location, without the constraints or cost of wiring.
