Later this month PayKiosks Internet Terminals will be installing a large scale WiFi hotspot in the Boardwalk Hotel and Casino. The network will provide wireless access to hotel guests on a pay-per-use basis and will be available in 600 guest rooms, the hotel lobby, and throughout all the meeting facilities.
PayKiosks will employ CableLAN technologies to enable the network to be installed with a minimum of cabling. The CableLAN products allow the PayKiosks technicians to install the wireless network using the buildings existing coaxial (TV) cable as the wired “backbone” of the wireless network. The CableLAN products allow even a very large scale wireless network to be rolled out economically, rapidly and with little impact on the location.
“We’re very excited at the opportunity that this installation presents to our Internet terminal operator, the Boardwalk Hotel and to PayKiosks” said Scott McInnes, President of PayKiosks Internet Terminals. “Typically Internet terminal companies are limited to providing a WiFi signal in the area immediately surrounding the kiosk. Depending on the environment this may be only 150 – 200ft. Their inability to install a large scale WiFi network greatly limits the revenue potential of their Internet terminal operators as well as limiting the appeal of their product to top tier locations. Employing the latest in WiFi and networking technologies allows our company to secure large, high profile properties such as the Boardwalk Hotel & Casino for our owner operators,”
The Boardwalk Hotel & Casino will immediately be included in one of the largest wireless networks in the world. Existing roaming agreements with wireless companies such as GRIC, iPass and Fatport will provide the Boardwalk Hotel & Casino immediate access to thousands of wireless subscribers.
