Targeted Discussion and Specifications For Nomadix Visitor Access Controllers and HotSpot Gateways

Deploying Visitor and Guest Access in Hotels and Resorts

When selecting a wireless LAN system, a hotel should consider the following requirements:

Multiple Wireless Devices. A hotel must accommodate a vast array of user devices including laptops, handhelds and VoWIP phones – both company-approved by the Hotel and any number of devices belonging to guests.

Virtual Private Groups. Given the diversity of hotel employees and guests who will use wireless, the IT department will need to create virtual private groups, each with the appropriate access rights and wireless encryption for strong security. Different users, from housekeeping to restaurant staff staff to finance to guests, will have different access permissions, roaming policies and billing profiles.

Authentication. To accommodate private and public access, the wireless LAN must support various authentication options, including open authentication, media access control (MAC) address authentication, web authentication and 802.1X authentication.

Encryption. A hotel wireless LAN should support different encryption types by user group. For instance, IT will want rigorous security and encryption for employees, however it may give guests unencrypted access.

Flexible Billing. Many hotels rely on an ISP to deliver public network services. Guests are redirected to a web portal where they submit credit card billing information. The hotel may split the revenue with the ISP or pay a flat fee per customer. Either way, the hotel must have the flexibility to choose an ISP and billing structure.

VoWIP and IP Multicast. Supporting Voice and Video over the wireless LAN requires some special considerations. Seamless support for VoWIP means users connect to the wireless LAN once, authenticate and roam freely. Also, some VoWIP handhelds and communicators can only use WEP or MAC-address authentication. Efficient support for IP multicast is a must to avoid overwhelming precious wireless LAN bandwidth.

Reliability and Resiliency. High availability is essential for a wireless LAN that’s home to reservations, point of sale, hotspots and other business-critical systems. Redundant power supplies and network connections are recommended to ensure fault tolerance.

Planning and Configuration Tools. No hotel or Resort can afford to install a wireless LAN that recklessly wastes IT resources. A wireless LAN system must be easy to configure, install and operate. In-room wireless access must be no-fuss as technical support calls eat away profitability.

A Hotel may need to set up and tear down Wireless LAN services rapidly to accommodate events in ballrooms or conference areas or the property may undergo a renovation. Consequently, good wireless LAN planning and configuration tools enable a Hotel to adapt the wireless LAN to its changing business needs. The more agile the wireless LAN system, the more sophisticated and profitable a service provider the hotel can be.
