Hotels, Motels, Inns, and
Bed and Breakfasts can increase revenue and customer satisfaction by
providing wireless internet connectivity in guest rooms.
As prices have fallen well below $1,000, many if not most
travelers today have laptops which now come standard with wifi
wireless internet access built in. These travelers use the internet
for business, for email, to monitor ebay auctions, and to search
with Google for information valuable to their visit, business, or
vocations. All prefer the ease of wireless rather than the
restriction connecting by wire to a dataport imposes.
Recongizing this, most hospitality providers now have wireless in
their lobbies.
Providing wireless also in the guest rooms can now be
accomplished much more inexpensively than wired.
Depending on the venue, the wireless access can be at no charge
or set up for a nominal fee. And, when first accessing the internet,
the traveler will see information provided by the hotel/motel or
local interest providers such as restaurants, shopping, or
amusements. This information can add to revenue for the hotel/motel
via either extra services or advertising dollars.
Today, there are many websites, called wifi locators, that
provide wireless availability information. By being present on these
websites (a service Doctor Wireless provides for its clients),
travelers are drawn to establishments with this essential
benefit.
Doctor Wireless utilizes industrial grade high power outdoor (in
most cases) wireless access points to provide
guests with the wireless service. These access points can be located
where their presence isunobtrusive and installations can be
accomplished with minimal site disturbance. Other capabilities such
as surveillance can be incorporated into the system.
All together, a hospitality provider with wireless access in the
guest rooms will increase its revenue from having more guests and
from additional revenue per guest at costs that are surprisingly low
and quite affordable..
