| Peppermill enhances wireless network | |||
|
Last week MobileAccess Networks
announced that Peppermill Casinos Inc. deployed the MobileAccess
Universal Wireless Network at the Peppermill Hotel & Casino in Reno,
Nev.
“We are committed to providing our guests with the highest level of luxury and convenience,” said Bill Hughes, director of marketing operations at Peppermill Hotel Casino. “Central to this mission is ensuring they can use the latest wireless technology as easily and reliably inside our world-class facility as they have come to expect outside.” The network solution enhances wireless communication throughout the facility’s three main buildings, creating reliable, uninterrupted coverage for SpectraLink wireless telephony, public WLAN and cell phone services from Cingular, Sprint and Verizon Wireless. Hughes said the service would enhance guest experiences and “by improving our own internal communications, it enables our staff to offer the highest level of service and security.” All of the property’s wireless services and applications will be delivered over a single wireless infrastructure, which is expected to be more cost-effective than deploying multiple parallel systems. Additionally, the modular packaging of the network allows for easier and more cost-effective expansion—a key benefit for Peppermill, which will be expanding the network into its new $300 million hotel scheduled to open in mid-2007. Aesthetics and ease of management will be boosted as well, as all managed equipment—including Cisco WLAN Access Points—will be housed in secure telecommunications closets. “With their installation of the MobileAccess Universal Wireless Network, Peppermill Hotel Casino is setting a new standard for wireless connectivity in large-scale entertainment complexes,” said Cathy Zatloukal, president and chief executive officer of MobileAccess. “In premier facilities like Peppermill, wireless access is more than nice to have; it’s a must-have for guests and staff…And with the adaptability of the MobileAccess solution, Peppermill can evolve their wireless infrastructure dynamically, without disrupting the communication experience of their guests and staff.” —Darby Harris |
