General Session: Beyond Concierge Service – Hospitality DAS Trends

WATCH FULL LENGTH ARCHIVED VIDEO
Panelist: Seth Buechley, President, SOLiD Technologies
Panelist: Ted Erb, Fire Prevention Officer, City of Bellevue

Yesterday’s single wireless service provider and carrier-owned DAS model no longer works within the hospitality industry. WiFi for data driven applications and multi-carrier cellular coverage that extend throughout every nook and cranny in today’s hotels are as expected as room service and daily housekeeping. And city ordinance increasingly requires hotels to provide coverage for first responder two-way  radios. The new model advantageously and holistically realigns the key players in a DAS deployment while delivering an exceptional guest experience and adherence to public safety mandates. Hospitality industry principals, wireless carriers and integrators won’t want to miss this opportunity to hear about this sea-change.
