Information for hotels

Features and benefits

High availability

Hotel Highway is readily available to guests with standard equipped laptop computers.

Offering both wireless and wired options, Hotel Highway is not restricted to wireless users only. This increases demand and boosts the utilization rate.

User-friendliness

Guests will find Hotel Highway very easy to use. They can connect to the Internet, e-mail, corporate networks and other network resources without having to reconfigure their computers.

Hotel Highway is a true Plug-and-Play solution that provides instant connectivity. No software downloads or PC configuration changes are required to connect to the Internet. The system accepts any client configuration for logon, remembers returning users and redirects their browser for customized web pages.

Offering the Hotel Highway service requires only a minimum of customer support and staff training.

Comprehensive security

Hotel Highway provides a secure operating environment for the users by utilizing user network traffic separation and Network Address Port Translation (NAT/PAT). The system also allows a secure VPN set-up for users with remote access to their company networks.

Furthermore, the system works without compromising the security of the hotel's own corporate LAN.

Built-in accounting, authentication and billing

Hotel Highway offers various methods of setting up user accounts, performing authentication to validate customer logons and enabling billing.

A fully automated system allows in-room authentication and billing with a single click. The Hotel Highway supports several industry standard Premises Management Systems (PMS) for direct billing to the guests' room bill.

There are also additional applications that generate room accounts at reception, for example. Clicking one button to get a print-out containing full user details is all that is needed for fast and smooth customer service.

Both wired and wireless

The system can be built to be used with either wired or wireless connections, or both.

For data transmission, Hotel Highway uses existing telephone wires, Ethernet cabling and wireless local area networks.

This gives the hotel more freedom. Since the system does not require Cat5 cabling in every hotel room, the hotel can greatly reduce costs when acquiring the service.

ISP-independent

Hotel Highway is ISP-independent, allowing the hotel owner to use their preferred service provider.

Installation

Hotel Highway is quick and easy to install. The installation does not disrupt the everyday operations of the hotel.
