Jupiter Hotels Upgrades to High-Speed WiFi Across 2900 Rooms

Jupiter Hotels is upgrading its Quadriga Genesis guest Internet and entertainment system to offer a comprehensive guest WiFi solution in all of its 26 UK properties, incorporating 2900 rooms, as part of a major investment in guest technology. The system upgrade also includes a new branded user interface and additional guest services, including News and Weather information and a dynamic Guest Directory. Quadriga is the hospitality industry?s leading integrator of network applications and in-room entertainment systems, with offices in the USA, Europe and Asia.

 

Jupiter Hotels, formerly part of the Jarvis Hotels group, and now under the Mercure umbrella, are looking to offer tangible guest benefits through investment in new technology. The key requirement was to provide a „best-in-class„ WiFi service, which could seamlessly integrate with the existing hotel technology systems and and network infrastructure.

 

Quadriga’s 10 years experience managing hotel IP networks and provisioning Internet services meant they were well placed to design and configure the optimum WiFi network infrastructure for Jupiter Hotels, to meet their evolving needs and the increasing demands of smart phones, tablets and modern mobile devices and applications. The latest HP networking wireless controllers, access points and network switches are being deployed to produce a 802.11n based wireless infrastructure with excellent coverage and signal to noise ratios. Featuring the latest tiered bandwidth services, hotels will be able to set pre-defined bandwidth and price options for guests including a free option for an initial 24 hour period, capped at 256Kbps as well as a faster, chargeable 2Mbps service.
