GEC NEWS WIREToday’s tech-savvy members dubbed as #GenMobile always travel with three or more mobile devices. And when they arrive at hospitality venues, they’ll demand to connect to everything all the time, making it essential for venues to provide a memorable guest Wi-Fi experience. Mobility technology solutions are a true enabler in offering the traveler a “wow” experience in every step of their journey.
Mr. Essam ElHawary, Hospitality Manager at Aruba, says, “We estimate that UAE has more than 170 hospitality projects and 45,000 rooms in the pipeline and as tech savvy guests begin bringing additional devices and connecting simultaneously in various meeting rooms and conference spaces, device densities become problematic – the existing Wi-Fi network can no longer handle skyrocketing mobile device densities and accompanying demands. Suddenly, a hotel with 1,000 rooms can have 4,000+ devices accessing their network at the same time. Speed and bandwidth can quickly become issues. Hotels are seeking a flexible, high-density enterprise WLAN they can leverage to generate additional event revenues that would yield a healthy ROI.”
Predictive, proactive, and actionable data opens the door to new travel experiences – from offering a personal booking experience, to a seamless and personalized check-in, to a room specially configured to the guest’s preferences, to ensuring guests never get lost on property.
