An efficient hospitality enterprise is one that increases profit per guest. This means giving patrons wireless access anywhere on the grounds, as well as using wireless applications to lower overall operational costs. Extricom WLAN is way ahead of the competition in this regard.

The benefits that WLAN can bring to the Hospitality and Entertainment industries include:

• Wireless housekeeping and maintenance applications.
  
• Mobile order fulfillment and check-in services.
  
• Mobile communication systems to ensure access to key personnel anywhere on premises.
  
• Wireless security applications to ensure guest and employee safety.

Unique Challenges of Hospitality and Entertainment

The operating conditions of the Hospitality and Entertainment industry can pose distinct challenges to WLAN deployment, including:

• RF environments characterized by multiple sources of interference.
• Many WLAN users in large public spaces can overload the system.
• The need for a rapid, disruption-free deployment that maintains business continuity and ensures the guest experience is not impacted.
• Hospitality venues have IT staffing constraints, so the solution has to be extremely simple to maintain.
