Alvarion selected by HotSpot International for Wi-Fi solutions

Alvarion Ltd has announced that HotSpot International (HSI) has selected Alvarion's carrier grade Wi-Fi solution for delivering wireless connectivity to hospitality customers across Mexico, and Central America, including AMResorts and the Casa Dorada Los Cabos, resort & spa.

"Whether for business or pleasure, travelers expect to have wireless connectivity at their fingertips no matter where they land in the world - from the airport to convention center, hotel grounds and even poolside," said Eran Gorev, president and CEO of Alvarion. "At the same time, a proliferation of mobile devices such as laptops, smartphones and tablets is putting enormous strain on legacy communications infrastructure. Alvarion easily and cost-effectively addresses these pain-points with its WBSn solution, a family of advanced Beamforming 802.11n Wi-Fi base stations. The WBSn solution, tagged "As Far As Wi-Fi Can Go", is a combination of outdoor and indoor Wi-Fi coverage that provides excellent coverage and capacity everywhere."

"Alvarion's technology allows us to more effectively and cost-efficiently deliver better high speed wireless connectivity solutions to our customers so that their guests can have a world-class experience," stated Louis Miller, founder and CEO of Hotspot International.

Alvarion's technology will help HSI deliver more wireless services that can enhance the visitor experience including services that will seamlessly connect VoIP room extensions with visitors' smartphones; monitor assets so items ordered via the wireless network can be delivered wherever guests are on the property; enable guests to change room controls remotely, such as temperature or lights; and allow international calling Wi-Fi hand-offs so guests can avoid costly international roaming charges.
