Most hotels now provide Internet access to
their guests. The choices of access modes are 1) wired, 2) wireless, or
3) a combination. In all cases Internet access must be purchased, a
system designed to cover the desired area, construction and
commissioning accomplished, and ongoing operation and customer service
conducted. The low-end solution is to provide free access through a single wireless access point located in a common area such as the lobby, coffee shop, or bar. The drawbacks of these smaller deployments include the lack of coverage outside of the single 'hot spot' and no customer service. Larger deployments require more investment and a much higher quality of customer service. The 'free' model can be improved by contracting with an operator such as MarineCOMS or OpenRoads to construct the system and provide customer service. In this instance, the hotel pays a monthly fee to the contract operator. Many hotels enter a co-location and profit share contract with an operator who builds and operates a 'pay' system at their own risk. Payment is via credit card or coupon purchased on site. Apartment, condominiums, and cooperatives have the same choices as hotels: 'Free' (paid by the community) or 'pay' operated by a contractor. Private developments that select 'pay' model generally negotiate a preferential rate for access. For further information click here or send your email request to sales@maricoms.net.
