Six Ways That Wireless Technologies Can Help Your Hospitality Clients (& Your Own Business)

A simple and smooth check-in process:
According to a Hotel Management article, “Speed is king during check-in and check-out.” A successful check-in process is fast and engaging for guests. Guests don’t like being in the dark about what is happening during check-in and will grow restless if they are standing in place while hotel employees type away on a computer for a long time. Equipping hospitality staff members with Wi-Fi-enabled devices allows guests to check in from different places on the property and avoid getting caught in a long queue, especially during peak hours. A step further would be enabling Digital check-in, which lets guests skip the front desk line for swift hotel room access. This reduces staff workload and allows them to focus on other tasks. It also helps hotels cut staffing costs during peak hours. Also, enabling hospitality clients to make accessing the hotel Wi-Fi easy for guests during check-in is essential.

Better tracking and security with mobile keys:
Consider offering hospitality clients the opportunity to provide “mobile keys” instead of traditional ones. When hotels offer mobile keys, they also support the idea that they offer guests a more sophisticated and cutting-edge experience. A simple QR code on a mobile device, working as a “key,” can streamline access to rooms, deter thieves, and provide hotel guests with a greater sense of security.

Streaming in-room entertainment:
Guests want the same level of sophistication to flow into their room. Providing wireless technologies in every single room is key to offering the best in-room experience. Guest want to stream content from mobile devices to the TV, access their favorite apps like Netflix, Disney+, and Spotify, enjoy online gaming, and stream personalized video and audio. After all, part of vacationing is spending time in one’s hotel room and just relaxing. That’s why hoteliers plan to make some changes with smart TVs and/or technologies that enable guests to stream content, like smart casting, placing the technology as the top guest-facing priority. It’s essential to provide hotels with wireless technology that can handle the streaming demands of their guests’ devices, as well as powering these new technologies.

A smart and personalized in-room experience:
When guests stay at a hotel, they expect a certain degree of attentiveness and indulgence. Guests want their needs met expeditiously, their meals to be at a higher degree of culinary skill than at home, and their rooms to be best suited to their preferences for comfort. Guests want smart controls that allow them to easily adjust lighting, temperature, and amenities in their room through interfaces or voice commands. This improves comfort, personalization, and enhances guest satisfaction. You can help your hotelier clients provide easy personalization of temperature, lighting, shades, and blinds. Employing the latest cutting-edge wireless technologies can enable this personalization for your hotel clients.

Digital menus and online ordering:
Another place where you can equip hotels with wireless technology is in the dining area. For example, you can offer digital menus instead of printed ones, which can get faded and dirty with use. Providing digital menus can help eliminate incorrect orders, cater to guests’ specific needs (such as gluten-free or vegan meals), and enable easy updating of new dishes or removing old ones. Guests nowadays want updated menus and technology options to order online or from their rooms. They appreciate the convenience of browsing menus, customizing orders, and making payments directly from their smartphones or tablets. This trend aligns with health and safety guidelines by reducing physical contact and helps streamline operations. Many establishments are adopting these technologies to cater to the growing expectation for digital convenience, not just to meet current health standards. Extending wireless capabilities beyond the front desk and hotel rooms can strengthen your hospitality clients’ connection with guests in their dining area.

Well-connected hotel conference rooms:
Your hospitality clients’ Wi-Fi must handle all the demands of a fast-paced business. It must enable guests’ laptops, tablets, and other devices to tackle large volumes of email, conduct online research, and transfer high-resolution business collaterals and multimedia files. After all, not all hotel guests are vacationers. A domestic business trip costs around $1,000, highlighting the significant expense businesses incur to facilitate professional travel. With the gradual return of business travel following the pandemic, travelers expect uninterrupted connectivity to ensure a seamless travel experience. Whether attending business meetings or industry conferences, professionals depend on reliable Wi-Fi connectivity to stay productive and efficient.

Overcoming Challenges to Upgrade Wireless Tech
While upgrading hotel wireless technologies offers numerous benefits, some hoteliers may hesitate due to common obstacles. Let’s explore these three hurdles.

1. Budget constraints and resistance to change are significant challenges for many hotels. Some hoteliers have tight budgets for their IT needs, which makes them reluctant to invest in new technology. Instead, they tend to stick with their legacy systems and weak Wi-Fi, thinking, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” However, this short-term approach can result in a long-term loss of guests and revenue. To overcome this obstacle, it is crucial to grasp the precise needs of hoteliers (as opposed to their wants), stay informed about technology trends in all sizes of hotels, and make wise purchasing decisions to help them maximize their existing budgets.
2. Due to budget constraints, some hoteliers face challenges in justifying the return on investment (ROI) for the latest wireless technology advancements. For instance, they may want to incorporate digital menus into their hotel dining areas. However, the cost of a technological upgrade can be significant, and projecting the potential financial benefits can be difficult, especially when not all ROI can be easily mapped out, such as customer satisfaction or positive word of mouth. As a result, hoteliers may find it challenging to obtain buy-in for technological upgrades from investors. One possible solution is to research what their clients’ competitors are doing in terms of technological upgrades. By doing so, hoteliers may be able to forecast how much business their clients may lose if they don’t make an upgrade.
3. Many hoteliers believe setting up wireless internet is simple. However, the growing complexity of technology and the demands of a challenging environment make it difficult without professional help. Challenging environments may have interference, different technologies, varied configurations, etc. Setting up access points is insufficient; the devices must be configured correctly and placed optimally. Hoteliers and novice installers often overlook these factors, leading to poor performance. It is essential to share your expertise and years of experience with hospitality clients, so they understand the importance of proper wireless technology setup. Let them know that you have the know-how to configure the devices optimally and ensure they are manageable, making their business more competitive in the vertical market.

Elevate Wireless Offerings
In the early days of Wi-Fi, hotel owners simply offered “free Wi-Fi” to attract more customers. However, now the leading hotels have realized that a strong and uninterrupted wireless network requires a certain level of expertise. They want a well-planned network, reliable products, and technical support to keep the communication flowing without interruption. As a provider of strong wireless communications, you may encounter some concerns or challenges from hoteliers. Once you overcome these hurdles, it’s important to let your hospitality clients know that you follow the best practices for wireless technologies.

Best Practices for Access Points in Hospitality
Please keep the following guidelines in mind while setting up Wi-Fi access points (APs) in your customers’ hotel:

1. Place the APs as close to the client devices as possible and avoid hotel hallways. Also, minimize obstructions between APs and clients. Most guests need to have their devices in physical sight of the AP to get the best Wi-Fi connection. In-room APs are the best option.
2. Do not stack APs floor to floor, as this will cause interference and affect Wi-Fi performance for guests and hotel staff. Staggering hotel APs horizontally and vertically is essential to avoid interference.
3. Utilize the hotel’s building structure, such as walls and corners, to minimize co-channel interference with neighboring APs.
4. Ensure optimal Wi-Fi signal reception for client devices by avoiding mounting APs in locations obstructed by elements such as above-ceiling tiles, near ducts, and pipes.
5. Spacing out APs evenly will ensure consistent radio transmit power settings and simplify the radio channelization process.
6. Strategically position adjacent APs to avoid direct line of sight, minimize overlapping coverage areas, and reduce interference, especially in areas such as hotel hallways. Ensure neighboring access points operate on independent, non-overlapping channels for optimal performance.
7. Place access points strategically based on 5 GHz and 6 GHz frequencies. These frequencies offer improved communication efficiency, support for advanced devices, enhanced security features, interference mitigation capabilities, and faster speeds.
8. Utilizing 5GHz DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) channels can increase the non-overlapping options for hotel access point channelization. However, caution is advised due to potential radar interference. If radar is detected, access points may switch channels, leading to disconnections for client devices. This can be a challenge to identify without thorough troubleshooting.
9. Start with20 MHzz wide channels in th5 GHzHz spectrum when creating a channel plan. If needed, consider usi40 MHzMHz. In 6 GHz6GHz band, it may be possible to40 MHz40MHz or even 80MHz wide channels. Always consider the number of access points and channels needed for your plan when making this decision.
10. Some vendors offer an auto-channel feature when setting up access points, which quickly and efficiently assigns channels. However, if this method doesn’t work well, it’s better to manually set independent channels in an alternating pattern across the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz spectrums.
11. Validate known client devices’ 5 GHz capabilities and limitations and plan your channels accordingly.
12. In most cases, auto transmit power is used to automatically adjust the radio output power of access points across different frequency bands. Auto-transmit power doesn’t work well in the environment, so set static transmit power settings. The recommended transmit power levels are 11 dBm for 2.4 GHz,13 dBm for 5 GHz, and 17 dBm for 6 GHz.
13. The 5GHz frequency band has several advantages over the 2.4GHz band:
    • a. Less Interference: The 2.4GHz band is often crowded due to the presence of devices like microwaves, cordless phones, and Bluetooth devices. In contrast, the 5 GHz band typically experiences less interference, resulting in
    • a more stable and reliable connection.
    • b. Higher Speeds: The 5GHz band can support higher data rates due to its wider channels (20MHz, 40MHz, 80MHz, and 160MHz), allowing for faster data transfer rates. This is beneficial for activities requiring high bandwidth, such as streaming high-definition video or online gaming.
    • c. More Channels: The 5GHz band offers more non-overlapping channels compared to the 2.4GHz band, reducing the likelihood of channel congestion and enabling better performance in dense environments like apartment buildings, hotels, or office complexes.
    • d. Better Performance in High-Density Areas: With more channels and less congestion, the 5GHz band performs better in environments with many wireless networks and devices. For faster speeds and less interference, 5GHz is often preferred, while 2.4GHz may be more suitable for better range.
14. The field of wireless technology is rapidly advancing with the introduction of Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 6e, and the newest addition, Wi-Fi 7, which are transforming connectivity. These protocols improve efficiency in multiple-device environments and provide significantly faster speeds. In the hospitality industry, it’s important to implement these advanced protocols for seamless Wi-Fi connectivity. While Wi-Fi 6 is a dependable option, adopting Wi-Fi 7 ensures future-proofing and enables the integration of more advanced applications. With Wi-Fi 7 and Wi-Fi 6e access points offering three frequency bands, including the latest 6 GHz band, the ability to connect more devices at higher speeds is significantly increased, meeting the growing demands of modern connectivity.

What are the WAN requirements?

Multiple WAN connections in hospitality installations can effectively manage capacity demands, adhere to regulatory requirements, and fortify network resilience, thereby enhancing the overall guest experience and operational efficiency. In medium to large hospitality setups, it’s customary to employ multiple Wide Area Network (WAN) connections for several important reasons:*• Capacity: Hospitality networks often witness a surge in guest traffic, surpassing non-guest traffic. Consequently, deploying two distinct Internet connections, with one exclusively allocated to guest usage and the other for non-guest activities, becomes imperative to maintain seamless connectivity. *• Traffic Segmentation: Regulatory frameworks often mandate stringent traffic segmentation protocols. Employing two WAN connections facilitates compliance with these regulations, ensuring data integrity and privacy across distinct network segments. *• Redundancy: Unforeseen outages or disruptions in one Internet connection can severely impact operations. By leveraging multiple WAN connections, the network gains robust redundancy. In the event of a failure in one connection, seamless failover to the alternate connection guarantees uninterrupted service delivery, bolstering overall network reliability and resilience.

What is the projected count of devices that will be using the network?

t is crucial to determine the number of wireless client devices to assess the required number of access points within a network. A commonly used guideline is to allocate approximately 2.5 devices per person, although this can be adjusted based on the specific requirements of the environment. Understanding the staffing levels and room count within a property also helps to refine this estimation. This assessment considers the average user load or “user capacity,” which includes a range of devices such as smartphones, tablets, gaming consoles, and laptops.

What quality & type of service or level of access do you want to provide your guests?

For optimum Wi-Fi performance, it is vital to strategically place your access points. In case you have an outdoor space or pool area, it is advisable to use an IP-rated access point to guarantee a constant and dependable Wi-Fi connection. This will enable you to have a seamless browsing experience while you enjoy the outdoors.

-

Wireless signals tend to weaken as they travel through different materials. Materials such as concrete, wood, metal siding, fiberglass, and rebar that are commonly found in hotel bathrooms, construction sites, or plumbing systems can cause varying levels of Wi-Fi signal degradation. It’s important to have a clear understanding of the obstacles present in your hotel to determine the number and appropriate placement of wireless access points to ensure reliable Wi-Fi coverage.

Do you have Ethernet & Fiber/Power cable running out to each building or desired Wi-Fi location?

It is ideal to have Ethernet or fiber cables installed in buildings or centralized locations to facilitate Wi-Fi deployment. If you don’t have these cables as a primary option, you can establish a secure wireless link or wireless bridge to transmit the signal to a specific location. This approach will help you avoid additional cabling costs and the inconvenience of obtaining permits. It will also prevent any disruption from construction, ensuring a better experience for guests. When choosing a wireless bridge, make sure it supports the same wireless speeds as the rest of your network. The faster the link, the better the experience for your guests or tenants. Also, consider the type of traffic that will flow through the wireless link. You may need a separate wireless bridge for surveillance traffic, for example.

How many suites and rooms do your hospitality clients want to equip with wireless access?

Ideally, you will want to provide each room with an access point instead of having them in the hallway. To determine the number and placement of access points and wireless bridges, you should consider the number of floors, rooms, and hospitality areas that require Wi-Fi connectivity. It will also help to estimate the average number of users that will be on your network at any given time. Access points are available in different form factors, including ceiling-mount or wall-plate access points, which can be chosen based on Wi-Fi and aesthetic requirements. Additionally, it’s important to consider the amount of traffic that each access point will be handling.

Do you plan to implement or expand an existing surveillance system?

Surveillance systems are essential for providing 24/7 visuals of key areas, ensuring safety and security for staff members, hospitality guests, or tenants. These systems can also provide crucial evidence to protect your property in cases of liability issues, vandalism, and theft. If you’re installing an IP surveillance system, you must consider the available bandwidth at your client site. Higher-resolution IP cameras require more bandwidth than lower-resolution IP cameras. To optimize the performance of your surveillance system, it is best to put it on a separate network segment, either physical (separate cabling and switches) or logical (VLANs). This helps to divide up the amount of bandwidth/speed being used between each segment, allowing you to allocate limits as needed.
