The Four-Diamond Westin Kierland Resort & Spa Enhances Guest Satisfaction with network upgrades

"As a world class resort, our three priorities in deploying this network were guest satisfaction, reliability and cost-efficiency -- Sunray delivered on all three without any disruption to our business or our ambiance," said Jeff Lartigue, IT Director, The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa. "Guests really appreciate the simplicity of logging in once and having uninterrupted service wherever they go in the resort. The network is reliable, resulting in fewer support calls, and incredibly cost-efficient, requiring fewer nodes, and less wiring, labor, and installation time than competing solutions."

The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa worked with Sunray Technology Integration, a leading IT integrator, to bring high speed wireless broadband to the entire resort in just a few days. Sunray deployed 12 wireless mesh nodes outdoors to cover the resort with Internet access and provide comprehensive indoor coverage without the need for indoor access points or CPE devices. Competing solutions would have required more than 100 nodes and taken weeks to install.

"To bring complete wireless coverage to the prestigious Westin Kierland Resort & Spa using a competing wireless solution would have required more than 100 indoor and outdoor nodes, and coverage still wouldn't have been seamless," said Chris Headings, VP of Operations, Sunray Technology Integration.
