Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh Downtown Hotel Joins EthoStream Hospitality Network
Property Selects Ruckus Wireless 802.11n Equipment Capable of Handling Data-Hungry Tablet Users
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Telkonet, Inc. (OTC BB: TKOI) operator of the EthoStream Hospitality Network, announced the completion of one of its largest 802.11n wireless network overhauls to date at the Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh Downtown.
Since the Wyndham Grand went live on August 24, 2011, they have averaged almost 300 users per day, demonstrating the incredible need for Wi-Fi services. As a result of the rapidly growing demand for increased bandwidth, the Wyndham Grand required a gigabit backbone to provide additional speed and network reliability for users. In addition, EthoStream installed Ruckus ZoneFlex 7962 802.11n access points, providing the Wyndham Grand with the latest wireless networking standard. The installed Ruckus ZoneDirector 3100 coordinates channels, automatically load-balances access points, searches for rogue devices on the network and provides management and reporting for the access points.
Matt Koch, Telkonet's Vice President of Operations, stressed the importance of choosing hardware able to accommodate the changing Internet needs of users. "We're seeing a significant increase in the demand for bandwidth from the hospitality industry because networks that may have provided sufficient bandwidth a few years ago are strained by the recent influx of tablets and smartphones," he said. "Travelers are using mobile devices more frequently for activities that require more and more bandwidth. With this network, the Wyndham has made a decision that's given them the foundation for a reliable, blazing-fast network that their guests demand."
The newly renovated Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh provides a haven for business travelers, with 712 rooms on 24 floors overlooking the confluence of Pittsburgh's Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio Rivers. The hotel features 27 event rooms, and all meeting space has wired and wireless Internet connections.
EthoStream, the high-speed Internet access division of Telkonet, operates the largest hospitality HSIA network in the country, supporting over 4.2 million users monthly.
