HOTEL DESCRIPTIVE CONTENT

March 1, 2018

Leveraging fiber to optimize hospitality networks

whitePaper | March 9, 2022

As network connectivity plays an increasingly important role in an intelligent converged infrastructure, hospitality owners and brands are challenged to find ways to leverage technology in order to improve their guest experience. Historically, most hotel networks weren’t designed from the ground up. Instead, they slowly evolved to support a hodgepodge of existing technologies such as DSL (digital subscriber line), DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification), and G.hn (data transmission over telephone wiring, coaxial cables, power lines). While these technologies were adequate at the time and maximized the life-span of the current cabling infrastructure, guests continue to demand more from their hospitality network. Today, guests expect a modern hospitality network to offer power, wired and wireless connectivity, and an increasing number of new technologies such as internet of things (IoT) as part of their guest experience.

It’s been a period of discovery, with operators finding that the strategies that worked in the past, don’t work now. As the recent fate of Thomas Cook shows, there has been casualties as a result. Technology developments are showing no sign of slowing down, as innovation races to keep up with consumer’s expectations. While some brands have already adopted experience apps and slick social media campaigns, others are still in the discovery stage; soaking in insight while incrementally applying updates to their business model. The more businesses lag behind, the more their counterparts will thrive, and that’s a dangerous position to be in. Generation Z, the first digitally native generation, is quickly moving into the prime purchasing position.

Holidays abroad, daytrips with the kids, or music festivals are all familiar summer experiences that require us to think about how we’ll get from A to B. But for disabled people, travelling anywhere is far from easy. For many, this summer has been one of renewed excitement and opportunity, with international travel being possible for the first time since the pandemic.
