From Hotel HSIA to Hotel HVAW (High Value-Added Wi-Fi)

By Jean-François Fontaine-Boullé   October 31, 2018

Is guest satisfaction crucial to your business? Are you obsessed with online reviews on TheFork, TripAdvisor or Booking.com? Guest satisfaction is the key issue, whatever the hospitality property you are working for or managing (hotel, residence, cruise ship, hospital, stadium, event, or food chain).


To enhance satisfaction ratings, you may focus on quality, diversity and decoration, but don’t skip the very first amenity guests are looking for among everything else: Wi-Fi! Increasingly, guests are demanding the ability to connect their mobile devices to the web, their own content to TV, and with people in and out of the property without any roaming issues.

Your guests expect seamless access to the wireless internet from the very minute they reach the doors of your property until they check out. This includes the lobby where they will network, the room where they will sleep, the meeting space where they will work, and the swimming pool where they will relax. Around the world “bleisure”  (business and leisure) travel is an undeniable trend.

Be certain that you will satisfy guests with guaranteed 100% Wi-Fi coverage of your estate with the right equipment: corridor access points, in-room wall plates, high-density access points, and omnidirectional and sectorized outdoor antennas.

If your Wi-Fi installation has been deployed more than three years (or if you still rely on one access point per six to eight rooms), you may be already seeing declining satisfaction. As guest behavior, data consumption and technologies have evolved greatly, consider investing again, to align services to current guest expectations and the newest hardware capabilities handling the highest bandwidth, with the largest number of concurrent users and multiple frequencies.

It doesn’t have to cost a fortune to upgrade, because the technology has been evolving as well. It is important to select the right manufacturer to rely on, a world-class company with enterprise-grade solutions that are affordable by design and offer more than just hardware. Today you can get a cloud controller, a management platform and a basic captive portal, without any recurring fee at all. Cambium Networks makes hospitality Wi-Fi easy and affordable.
