TravelNet Technologies and Firetide Team Up to Deliver Comprehensive Mesh Network Solutions
Both TravelNet Technologies and Firetide offer complimenting technologies to deliver a truly complete Mesh network solution for hotels. DataValet provides a wealth of expertise and technology for the distribution, management, and daily operation of high-speed Internet guest services. With DataValet, hotels are able to effectively provision and secure wireless access to a range of web-based guest services, customized according to their specific requirements. Firetide provides a proven high-performance wireless mesh system to extend these services to guests over a comprehensive Wi-Fi mesh network both inside and outside the hotel property. The beauty of deploying Firetide mesh network technology is that it can be done without the need for extensive backbone cabling and its associated costs. Together, the joint DataValet/Firetide solution allows for a significantly faster, more cost effective installation and implementation of a full-featured Wi-Fi guest service with minimal disruption in the areas being Wi-Fi-enabled.
"This joint marketing initiative offers hospitality facilities with distinct advantages when implementing a Wi-Fi solution at their property," states Frank Kouretas, Director of Product Management, TravelNet Technologies Inc. "Combining the power of the DataValet web-services, back-end management and plug and go capabilities with the flexibility of Firetide's Wi-Fi mesh network gives hotels a versatile, tried and true Wi-Fi solution for guests which can span easily across all areas of their properties."
"The DataValet/Firetide solution offers our hospitality customers the ability to install a fully operational mesh network quickly, easily and affordably," said Bo Larsson, CEO of Firetide "Mesh networks allow facilities to provide public access for guests and private access for service and security staff, without compromising performance, security, or range of coverage."
The new alliance will be featured at this week's International Hotel/Motel Restaurant Show exhibit hall at booth 3166 on November 13 - 15 at the Jacob J. Javits Convention Center in New York City.
