Enhancing Guest Satisfaction through Advanced Connectivity Solutions.
In a recent webinar, experts from Winncom Technologies, Cambium Networks, and Digital Technologies (DTECH) shared their insights on enhancing guest satisfaction in the hospitality industry through advanced connectivity solutions. The session provided valuable information on the importance of reliable Wi-Fi, future trends in hospitality technology, and real-world case studies demonstrating successful implementations.
The Importance of Reliable Wi-Fi in Hospitality
Carlos Gonzalez, Sales Director for Western Europe and the UK at Winncom Technologies, emphasized that reliable and scalable Wi-Fi is crucial for guest satisfaction in the hospitality sector. He pointed out that inconsistent Wi-Fi coverage and inadequate security features can significantly impact the guest experience. Gonzalez highlighted that many hotels still view Wi-Fi as a basic commodity, but in reality, it should be considered a critical component of guest services.

Advanced Hospitality Connectivity Solutions by Cambium Networks
Kinan from Cambium Networks discussed the evolution of Cambium's portfolio and its relevance to the hospitality sector. Cambium Networks, which spun off from Motorola in 2011, has grown to offer a wide range of products, including Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 6E, switching, outdoor wireless, and the upcoming Wi-Fi 7 technologies. Kinan highlighted the importance of managing all network components through a single platform to simplify troubleshooting and enhance network performance.
Case Study: Heathrow Airport Hotel
One notable example shared by Kinan was a deployment at a hotel near Heathrow Airport. The hotel, with 350 guest rooms, implemented Cambium's switches and indoor and outdoor Wi-Fi access points, all managed through a single platform. The entire deployment was completed in just three days and was under budget, showcasing the efficiency and effectiveness of Cambium's solutions.
Future Trends in Hospitality Technology
The webinar also delved into future trends, particularly the role of AI and generative AI in enhancing guest experiences. Kinan suggested that AI-driven personalized experiences, such as AI assistants in guest rooms, could revolutionize the hospitality industry. These AI agents could provide guests with personalized recommendations, help them navigate hotel services, and improve overall satisfaction. However, for these technologies to be effective, hotels need to ensure robust and low-latency connectivity, which is where Wi-Fi 7's multi-link operation (MLO) becomes critical.
