Motorola Solutions (NYSE:MSI) today announced that in 2012, several top-tier hotels adopted its WiNG5 based Wi-Fi solutions. Top local and international brands such as The Taj, Lemon Tree, Royal Orchid, Starwood, Park Plaza, and Spree Hotels added wireless networking from Motorola Solutions to ensure delivery of robust and reliable high speed internet access (HSIA), a pre-requisite for increasingly sophisticated guests who prefer hotels that provide premium quality wireless experience as a standard.

The key reason for the popularity of Motorola’s Wi-Fi solutions is the future ready wireless portfolio. The WiNG5 architecture which is central to the portfolio maximises 802.11n technology by fully distributing intelligence at the network edge to access points which are at the periphery of the network. Top hotels focused on winning loyal customers and impeccable guest experience prefer Motorola Solutions, as the wireless infrastructure is also able to support tools that error-proof, streamline and automate everyday processes to fully complement every interaction between guests and the hotel staffs, resulting in a positive experience and contributing to greater loyalty.

KEY FACTS:

• As early as 2011, Motorola Solutions conducted a hospitality market barometer survey to gain deep insights into future industry trends and imperatives. Hotels today must be ready to support growing numbers of Guest tablets and smartphones that use video conference applications, streaming video, music and VoIP
• Tolly, the industry’s premier independent testing and strategic consulting organization, in its report that studies Motorola and several competing solutions for remote branch office environments, concluded that WiNG5 architecture is best-in-class and delivered unique differentiation across several areas deemed critical for a wireless network in comparison to other leading industry solutions.

• AP6511 802.11n Wall Plate solution, the winner of Bronze award at 2012 Edison Best Product Awards, allows for an easy “plug and play” deployment within minutes at any location to support consistent high bandwidth requirements. Purposely designed for hotels, dormitories, apartment buildings, the AP uses existing CAT 5/6 cabling to cover multiple rooms with minimal site planning. A single AP 6511 can serve as a controller for up to 24 dependant 6511 access points to present a highly cost efficient option. The self-healing and SmartRF of WiNG5 ensures there are no blind spots.
• WiNG5 distributes intelligence to the periphery of the network to ensure efficient network bandwidth utilization, consistent availability of adaptive and self healing capabilities across the network. WiNG5 is central to Motorola’s Wi-Fi portfolio of switches and access points including the Guinness Record setting AP7131 802.11n access point.
