NetEqualizer Accelerates Internet Access for the Hotel Industry D.C. Communications Flow Smoothly
APConnections, Inc., has moved into the hotel industry in a big way and is being used in prominent hotels to insure vital communications for their guests.
APConnections has announced a major deployment at the Holiday Inn, Washington-Central/White House in Washington, D.C. Visiting dignitaries will be relying on the NetEqualizer to insure responsive Internet connections.
"We try to stay ahead of the curve here in Washington D.C. Our customers are very tech savvy and require the best service when it comes to their Internet connectivity. Since installing the NetEqualizer back in November, it has been smooth sailing: no busy hour slowdowns or complaints." Jeff Billings, System Administrator, Holiday Inn Central, www.inndc.com
The NetEqualizer is increasingly used in hotels because the guests demand quality Internet services. The load from many hotel guests simultaneously can create slowed Internet access. NetEqualizer users report experiencing 50% or more bandwidth.
According to analysts, broadband Internet access in guest rooms is expected to more than triple between 2004 and 2009 to nearly 54,000 properties worldwide. Currently, hotels are being judged and ranked according to their quality of Internet access.
With nearly 1,500 Holiday Inn hotels around the world, Holiday Inn remains the most popular hotel brand. They offer free high-speed Internet access at each of their facilities in the U.S. & Canada.
BLIZZARD? WHAT BLIZZARD? APConnections doesn’t miss a beat during Denver Blizzard
The “weird weather” that is playing across the U.S. this winter hit Denver on December 21st and 22nd in a record breaking way, closing freeways and businesses alike. While other businesses were “frozen,” literally and figuratively, due to careful planning and our virtual office topology all of our support staff was available to take your calls during this event. Customers are always our first priority at APConnections, and we realize whatever problems we’re having, we don’t want to make them your problems, too. Denver has suffered more storms since then and this winter may be just getting started, but we want you to know: as long as there’s some kind of phone line open, we’ll be there to answer it.
RSVP! You’re Invited
APConnections is planning our 4th anniversary celebration party this spring. This will be a celebration of success and a gesture of gratitude for all customers, vendors and resellers. You’re all invited. It will be held in the Denver metro area, and we hope to get a national recording act to perform, plus, of course, offer food and spirits. Give us a heads up now if this is something you are interested in attending. More details will be forthcoming. Plan not to miss it. It will be electrifying.
