Designing 5-star Wi‑Fi for Hotels
Connectivity is the one amenity that can instantly make or break a 5-star experience. You can have the most luxurious spa, the stunning view, and the best breakfast in town. But let’s be real: if the Wi-Fi is slow and guests can’t stream movies or play games after a long day, they are still going to complain.
Hotels present IT teams with a massive obstacle course. You are dealing with a unique mix of environments and requirements, soundproof walls that kill Wi-Fi signals, and hundreds of guests trying to stream 4K video simultaneously.
For this webinar, presenter will go well beyond just slides. Presenter packed Ekahau gear and visited The Social Hub in Rome – a unique mix of hotel, student housing, and co-working space – to film a video case study deep dive. We’re joined by the experts from HPE Aruba, The Social Hub IT Team, and their network service provider Wentzo.
The presenting team will walk you through the actual project files and surveys, perform live troubleshooting, and share the real-world techniques used to keep those connection bars full. No matter your industry, if you’re tasked with building seamless Wi-Fi in difficult spaces, this webinar is something you won’t want to miss.
Tune in to learn:
-
How to overcome signal attenuation caused by soundproof walls, ceramic tiles, and decorative materials to ensure Wi-Fi reaches every corner of the property.
-
Strategies for ensuring stable performance for digital nomads, business travelers, and gamers.
-
