Increasingly, through developments in technology, high speed Internet access has now become a prerequisite, when it comes to providing modern facilities throughout a large section of the hospitality industry.

WiFi technology was, at one time, only financial viable to larger hotels. The good news is that now this service can be delivered to B&Bs and Guest Houses as well as larger hotels in a really cost effective and affordable way. The reduction in set-up and maintenance costs has resulted in giving the opportunity to smaller businesses to be in a position to offer this service to their guests and to generate revenue from it, in a controlled and professional way.

WiFi Internet for Hotels & B&Bs alike
So, how can this great technology now be adapted to work for hotels?
Firstly, one key component - a HotSpot Gateway, needs to be added to make a standard Broadband line into a commercial, revenue generating HotSpot system that can be used to deliver justifiable WiFi Internet services, in a manner that is acceptable to guests. A HotSpot Gateway performs many functions that benefit both the hotel or B&B owner, as well as the guest, in several ways:

• By using a simple PIN code system to manage access, your business can generate a new revenue stream.
• The solution allows you to control who can and cannot access the system (i.e. non guests).
• Quality of service is guaranteed to all connected users by sharing out the broadband service fairly.
• No settings need to be changed on guest’s laptops (note: this is not possible on home set-up situations).
• The HotSpot Solution cannot be hacked or corrupted by users (deliberate or accidentally).
• The signal can typically reach 100metres in an outdoor space or 30metres indoors and this can be extended by using additional WiFi access point devices.
