Guest Wi-Fi & On-boarding
In Hospitality, the customer Wi-Fi experience is essential in upholding the hotel brand as well as making sure guests come back for repeat stays. It is one thing to have great performing Wi-Fi, the other part is to make sure guests are efficiently onboarded and managed appropriately. Encapto provides a platform to differentiate your guests with time, download or speed restrictions on a single hotspot.

BYOD Guests represent a challenge for the hospitality industry. It is likely that each guest will have bought their own device or more often multiple devices all requiring connection to the network. That is a lot of personal data. Security has never been so important. Security breaches in hotels and other similar establishments can swiftly damage hard-earned reputations and leave guests vulnerable to identity theft and other risks.
Almost 50% of overall data breaches in 2018 were experienced in the hospitality industry with over 22 million personal records exposed. The threats are significant. The need to take security seriously is highlighted by the number of large hotel chains who have been hit with significant fines for their lack of adequate security. Hotels must protect guests’ data through network protection and Wi-Fi access. WatchGuard’s layered security services ensure you can keep personal information secure. WatchGuard’s technology covers you over a number of products including Multi Factor Authentication (MFA), Firewall and Wireless Intrusion Prevention Systems (WIPS).
Cambium ePMP Broadband Solutions
Ideal for caravan parks and connecting outdoor networks, ePMP is high performance Point to Point technology offered at an affordable price. ePMP comes with Multiuser MIMO, achieving high throughput by simultaneously transmitting to two subscribers.
Very often it is not viable to deploy multiple access points to service one area. AP’s maybe competing and generating noise. ePMP overcomes this with Intelligent filtering, Smart Beamforming and Beam Steering. Beam Steering antenna creates narrow beams to improve signal-to-noise ratio. Placed at the access point on a tower, the smart antenna will create tighter beams to connect to subscribers whilst nulling radiation from unwanted emitters in the field. Smart.
