Leisure
Whether you are linking your POS sytem with your reservation system, or automating your kitchen - the need is the same, to become more efficient, more productive and therefore more cost effective.
Hotels, conference/convention facilities, cruise ships and other hospitality venues host an increasingly "connected" customer base. From the business traveler who requires the ability to establish VPN connections to headquarters, to leisure travelers updating their online photo albums - guests demand broadband connectivity.
While wired broadband technologies offer basic connectivity, they are expensive to deploy and do not enable mobility. Wi-Fi offers wireless broadband connectivity and mobility within the facility.
Early adopters of Wi-Fi in the hotel industry often limited their deployments of this technology to common areas (e.g. meeting rooms, lobbies, lounges), but the trend in this market is towards pervasive coverage so that guests may connect from their rooms. As the number of access points per hotel increases, so will the complexity and cost associated with deploying and maintaining the WLAN if the appropriate solution is not implemented.
Cherry W&C is assisting the Hospitality industry by installing managed WiFi networks which improve the customer experience whilst driving down cost. These Wifi networks are more than simply ‘hot-spots’ for your guests – additional functions include WiFi camera’s to make surveillance easy and WiFi phones to reduce internal telephony cost to zero. In addition – Hot Spot access can be offered free to your guests, or be an additional source of revenue – and unlike some other solution providers Cherry W&C doesn’t take a percentage of your hot spot revenue.
