Wi-Fi For a Hotel - What to Think About

When planning for installing a Wi-Fi network in a hotel there's much to be considered. Tread lightly .... It's not quite as hard as you may think. But it isn't easy either.

First, the hotel's Wi-Fi strategy needs to be finalized, and following this you would know where the aid needs to be available, if it will be free, if it will be solely used for guest browsing, or if it will also facilitate value added services to the hotel itself .... Such as wireless point-of-sale, wireless security, wireless signage, wireless VoIp on the compound, etc. There are a plethora of resources online that you can check for the technicalities of some of these types of tool - this is not a challenge.

Wireless Printer Setup

After this, all begins with an on-site eye to resolve the layout of the hotel, and placement of the access points. This should include Rf mapping for larger properties (or any property for that matter, since it removes alot of the guesswork).

Bearing in mind you're working with a budget, you need to let that funds dictate the type of tool you're going to use. From access points & routers, to Poe switches, packet shaping & filtering, to billing & authentication platforms. Or whether you're going to do it all with a cheap and easy Dlink setup, perfect with login ticket printers. There are a multitude of different architectures for these networks.

You will also need to agree upon work schedules with the Hotel Management, because they may not want technicians and engineers descriptive throughout the composition while guests are enjoying their stay there. This can lengthen or shorten the period of the project (depending on what Hotel supervision decides) and can have direct effects on project cost. All of which needs to be presented to Hotel supervision in different scenarios.

One of the make-or-break details that often get overlooked is the available bandwidth being piped into the hotel to feed this Wireless network, and depending on the size of the hotel, it needs to be considerable. I'd propose a minimum of Ds3 bandwidth.

Once you've done a easy traffic pathology to quantify bandwidth requirements, based on data from the hotel such as average room occupancy percentages throughout the year, you can resolve what is required. Once you can get this required bandwidth from a aid provider, you're golden. whether or not the funds allows, you should all the time push the Hotel to pick a corporate data package with an aid level trade (Sla) attached to it, so as to warrant uptime for the guests. This is critical if the hotel has a high percentage of firm travellers.

For aid in looking just the right bandwidth explication ... At best price .... I propose using the free services at Bandwidth Solution.

Once the physical aspects of the network is in place and all has been neatly tucked away, you need to fabricate a nice walled organery for the hotel - although this is something the larger hotels normally do, for branding and marketing purposes. However, this is an further step that needs to be done, whether or not it is your responsibility. This can facilitate something as easy as the logon splash screen, or it can offer more interactivity based on the tech savviness of the hotel.

Finally, this can be as easy or as complicated as the hotel and their funds requires, but even in the most complicated scenario it legitimately is quite easy and is one of the easier wireless implementations to deploy.
