Hospitality Deployments

Guest Satisfaction and Revenue Generation in Hotels

Deliver Reliable High Speed Internet Access (HSIA) in Hotel Locations of All Sizes

Hotels, resorts, motels and extended stay properties that provide HSIA to their guests are rapidly becoming a destination of choice for travelers who need to stay connected to the office.  These travelers are ready and willing to pay a premium for fast, seamless connectivity to the Internet, corporate e-mail, databases and other network resources.

The question is not “if” a property should deploy HSIA but "how" to do it in a cost effective and profitable manner. Nomadix is the only company that provides a range of platforms to accommodate hospitality properties from 50 to 2,000 rooms.  Depending on your network size, choose between the following platforms:

• AG 5500: optimally suited for larger properties of 250 to 2,000 simultaneous users
• AG 3100 Medium Option: for locations with from 100 to 200 users
• AG 3100 Entry/Small Options: these smaller options are perfect for boutique hotels or bed & breakfasts venues with less than 100 rooms.  Couple the Entry Option with 2-3 wireless APs and you can provide Wi-Fi capability in the lobby or meeting area

The Nomadix Advantage

Every Nomadix Gateway comes pre-loaded with the proven NSE software providing:

• Guest Satisfaction – Delivering true “plug-and-play” connectivity to the HSIA service through Nomadix’ patented Dynamic Address Translation™ (DAT) and dynamic transparent proxy technologies.  Users are able to get onto the network with Zero Configuration changes to their laptop.
  
  
• Property Management System Support – Nomadix has certified interoperability with the widest range of Property Management Systems (PMS) on the market for in-room billing of HSIA service.
  
  
• Sophisticated Billing Options – Nomadix customers can choose from a wide range of hospitality-oriented billing options including both pre/post paid and duration-based folio charging options. In addition, it can include WISPr compliant RADIUS support to allow “roaming” users to access your HSIA service while the property collects a back-end fee.
  
  
• Support for Wi-Fi Networks – Nomadix pioneered dedicated 2-way PMS interface solutions that enable in-room billing in pure-play Wi-Fi or hybrid wired and wireless networks.
  
  
• Easy-to-Use – All Access Gateways are easy for administrators to set-up through a Web Management Interface, secure telnet and SNMP interfaces. Total management security can be achieved via IPSec.
  
  
• Network and User Security – Nomadix’ patent-pending iNAT™ technology allows multiple guests to VPN into the same termination point (their corporate HQ) from the Hotel, thus seamlessly enabling the most secure type of public access connection.  To help prevent your network from becoming a victim of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, Nomadix offers you peace of mind with its unmatched Session Rate Limiting (SRL) and dynamic MAC filtering functionality.  Nomadix also makes use of tracking logs to support Lawful Intercept.
  
  
• Differentiated Guest Support – The AG 3100 and AG 5500 are capable of creating a differentiated service experience whether the user is a registered hotel guest, walk-in or meeting room user. This functionality includes support for differentiated home page redirects, simultaneous payment choices and meeting room scheduling.
