Whether you run a small B&B or the hottest boutique hotel, the key to guest and employee satisfaction is through safe, secure, and reliable network access. With Aruba Instant On, every stay will be 5-star.
Exceed your guest’s expectations
The expectations guests have for their travels are steadily increasing. With technology becoming more and more mainstream and integrated into day-to-day life, guests are beginning to expect their hotels to be as tech-savvy as they are.
However, providing Wi-Fi for an entire hotel is a much bigger challenge than that of a home. With all of your guests putting excess load onto your network with bandwidth-demanding smartphones, your WiFi can quickly become slow and provide spotty service.
Luckily, Aruba’s got your back. Their range of Instant On access points and switches can help support your growing hospitality business without the need for dedicated IT staff.
Bolster Common Areas
 |
Dead zones and spotty connections will have a huge impact on guest’s experience with you. They can be prevalent in common areas, like your front lobby, poolside, or shared areas, all potential first touchpoints for guests. |
To ensure full coverage across your common areas, Instant On access points can use Smart Mesh technology to work together to extend your coverage. Smart Mesh allows seamless roaming as you move across the building, ideal for businesses of every size.
Combined with the expanded port capacity of Instant On you can get the ideal hospitality network solution capable of handling high-bandwidth digital signage, POS systems, and video walls.
Innovative Smart Rooms
 |
Using smart technology to enhance the guests experience can give your hotel a competitive edge. Some technologies that hotels have begun to utilize already include keyless doors, touch panels, control lighting, and window coverings. |
To make the most of these new smart devices, you’ll need a WiFi that can keep up. For these technologies to perform properly you’ll need to pair them with next-gen wireless WiFi 6 connectivity.
Aruba’s range of Instant APs will allow you to ensure your smart devices perform to their best abilities with prioritization of different applications. What’s more, these access points are also backward-compliant, enabling them to support all of your older technology too!
Protect Guest and Employee Data
 |
From home addresses to credit card details, the amount of sensitive data held by hotels is on the rise. Keeping this data safe should always be a top priority, but this can prove to be a difficult task, especially for smaller businesses operating on a single network. |
Those with only a single network to collect data on, especially without cybersecurity specialists on the team, are increasingly vulnerable to cyber-attacks.
To help protect businesses, Aruba Instant On APs and switches provide built-in security to automatically protect you against malware attacks. To further prevent cyberattacks, the mobile app also allows you to separate networks, segment traffic, and define who can access the network.
