As a hotel, do you have sufficient bandwidth in place to support your business and client demands? Would a bandwidth boost help your business in a number of ways?

There are still a lot of businesses operating on 100Mbps services, shifting to 1Gbps capable connectivity can be a game changer surprisingly need not cost the earth.

We can provide a range of contended and un-contended internet connection options from 2Mbps to a blisteringly fast 10Gbps in both directions, as well as wifi solutions and cost effective cloud based telephony with hospitality in mind.  Thinking of updating your old phone system ahead of the 2025 PSTN/ISDN switch off? Now could be the ideal time.

In the ever-evolving landscape of the hospitality industry, the significance of fast, seamless and reliable internet connectivity cannot be overstated. 

As hotel operators, ensuring a fast and reliable network is not just about meeting the basic needs of business applications and being able to communicate with staff, but also vital for your guests. It’s about enhancing their overall experience, from the moment they step into your establishment to the minute they check out. At HM Network, we understand the role connectivity plays in the success of your hotel. 

Business Applications

From the initial guest reservation to staff handling calls and clients checking in at the reception, every step in a hotel’s operation relies on having suitable connectivity. The presence of robust connectivity doesn’t just make a difference; it can revolutionise processes, and enhance efficiency across the board. Key aspects such as card payment machines, Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) systems, Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV), and both business and in-room telephony are contingent on a secure and stable bandwidth.

Telephony

Traditionally, legacy phone systems posed challenges due to their high costs and cabling requirements. However, in the contemporary landscape, the advent of cloud hosted systems, softphone apps for mobile and WiFi-enabled telephone handset options has transformed the game. Now telephone systems can be swiftly and easily deployed, minimising disruptions and offering a more cost-effective solution. This shift not only streamlines operations but also positions hotels to adapt swiftly to evolving technological needs without the historical constraints associated with traditional phone installations. 

The Connected Guest

Today’s guests are more digitally connected than ever, carrying a plethora of devices including smartwatches, mobile phones and tablets to laptops. Whether they’re relaxing in their rooms, attending conferences, or working out in the gym, guests expect a seamless and fast Wi-Fi experience. Slow and unreliable connections can quickly lead to frustration, and can tarnish the reputation of your hotel.

Wedding, Conference and Event Connectivity

As hotels increasingly become venues for conferences, seminars, and events including weddings, the demand for robust internet connectivity and Wi-Fi networks has skyrocketed. Attendees are often asked to take part in interactive presentations for polls, as well as an expectation for high definition video conferencing and social media engagement. A lagging connection can negatively impact the success of your events, potentially dissuading future bookings. We can help you make your connectivity work smarter.

Technological Integration in Fitness Centres

Modern fitness centres are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, often connected to streaming services and health-tracking apps on guests’ devices. A fast and reliable connection underpinning your network is essential to ensure a seamless integration of these technologies, allowing guests to enjoy a connected workout experience.

Smart Room Features

From smart TVs to voice-activated services, hotel rooms are transforming into tech-savvy spaces. Guests expect the convenience of controlling room features through their devices, and a robust network is the backbone of these smart room experiences. Without it, the allure of cutting-edge technology in your hotel rooms may fall flat.

Digital Signage and Information Displays

Digital signage is a powerful tool for communicating with guests, providing information about offers, services, events, and local attractions. These displays require a stable network connection to deliver real-time updates and captivate your audience. A slow connection could hinder the effectiveness of your digital signage strategy.
