  • Aircell Unwires 1,000th Plane August 31, 2010
    Aircell has unwired its 1,000th aircraft: It's a Delta DC9 flying out of Detroit; lucky passengers will get free Wi-Fi access. Aircell says one-third of mainline aircraft flying each day in the US have its service onboard, for nearly 4,000 flights each day. Aircell's contracts should push it to 2,000 craft in 2011. The question is, however, whether […]
  • Virgin Mobile Adds Unlimited 30-Day Usage Plan August 23, 2010
    Virgin Mobile has upped the ante on cellular data: Despite being owned by Sprint Nextel, Virgin Mobile is challenging all four major US carriers with an as-you-need-it, no-contract $40 unlimited 3G data plan. The plan lasts for 30 days. Virgin previously had four levels of service topping out at 5 GB for $60 used within 30 days. The new tiers are $10 for 100 […]
  • Sprint Ships 3G EV-DO Femtocells August 23, 2010
    Sprint puts 3G in femtocells at last: Sprint had the first entry in the femtocell market, those tiny cell base station that a subscriber installs in the home and plugs into his or her own broadband connection. But Sprint and later Verizon's femtos were 2G (1xRTT) only. For calls, that was no problem, but the data side would run at 2G, or a phone would m […]
  • SFO Gets Free Wi-Fi Early August 16, 2010
    San Francisco International Airport (SFO) has launched its free Wi-Fi service: SFO is among the largest airports in the US to have pulled fee service off the terminal menu, replacing it with free. Denver (DEN) was the first large airport to make that choice a few years ago; Seattle's Seatac (SEA) went free earlier this year. Copyright ©2010 Glenn Fleish […]
  • School Board Refuses to Rely on Fear-Based Non-Science August 16, 2010
    Canadian school board will keep Wi-Fi on: Terrific reporting (no byline, or I'd praise the reporter) on a sticky issue. A school board in the central Ontario area of Simcoe County is refusing to turn off Wi-Fi because of scaremongering from parents who allege a direct connection between symptoms of ill health and the presence of signals. Great summary i […]
  • Devicescape Enters Wi-Fi Location Business August 13, 2010
    Devicescape will offer SoftGPS, another way for device makers to obtain coordinates for mobile equipment on the go, GPS or no: I've written before that Devicescape and Skyhook Wireless are two of my favorite companies in the back-end Wi-Fi space because what they do is so clever. Both have been around for years; both are seeing the payoff for consistent […]

Exploring WIFI Solutions For The Hospitality Industry

Industry – Hospitality

Challenge

Provide WiFi service to all hotel rooms in a hotel with a structure built out of 22” thick block wall and only has outside entrances to each hotel room, in other words no internal hallways.

Solution
Firetide Access Points with the proper high gain antenna selection positioned in strategic locations around the building to ensure that the WiFi signal would enter each room through the windows and doors. This allowed the Engineering Team to install only 3 Access Points versus the 13 that were proposed by a competitor.

Antenna selection was critical in this solution as there were no poles, rooftops, structures etc. to mount these antennas and the Access Points still had to be connected to the internet drops. During the site-survey our team discovered that there were storage and utility rooms available to install the access points.

By installing the access points inside these climate controlled rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors enabled our engineering team to propose less costly indoor access points.

Our engineering team selected the TerraWave 12 dbi outdoor antenna unit to insure that the WiFi signal provided a high range in output.

By customizing the cable connection access point to antenna, the team was able to install the antennas on the ceiling of what is the walkway of the floor above. This put the antenna unit on the outside transmitting a high quality signal that was so far reaching, a hotel 1/4 mile away was getting the WiFi signal.

The true test was to sign-on to the captive portal with our own laptops at the furthest point deep from the antennas inside the room to experience the same connectivity that a guest would experience.

Success
Success, even the furthest room was able to receive a strong WiFi signal at top speed. For more information on WiFi, Wireless Surveillance Cameras, or just Security Camera Configurations contact the Sales Department at Cyber Network Solutions.

We will provide you with a consultation visit to discuss your needs and requirements.
