Waldorf Astoria Chooses IMT & Meraki for High-Performance Wi-Fi

The Hilton Hotel’s Roosevelt Waldorf Astoria in New Orleans called on Integrated Media Technologies, Inc. (IMT) to find a solution to the density of mobile devices that was overburdening their Wi-Fi spaces. The proliferation of mobile devices was overtaxing traditional wireless networking and the The Roosevelt was feeling the pinch.

 

Throughout this century and the last, The Roosevelt has strived to provide world leaders, business executives and entertainment icons with an unrivaled meetings and events service. Twenty-three separate and unique meeting rooms and 3 grand ballrooms comprise the hotel’s 60,000 square feet of event space offering a wealth of venue options.

 

The IMT team chose to develop the hotel’s WiFi solution with the new Meraki MR14 dual-radio 802.11n access point series. With real-time tools built in, IMT enhanced and integrated those tools through third party interfaces, allowing them to do a fast and dynamic analysis of the hotel environment. IMT found that with Meraki, the installation time is cut by 40%.
