We have just completed a new wi-fi installation at The Wyastone Hotel in Cheltenham.

The old wi-fi system consisted of various brands of wi-fi access points running at a maximum speed of 54 mbps and there were regular drop-outs and some dead spots.

We have since installed 4 long-range wi-fi access points, each with a range of 300 feet and running at 300 Mbps. This has meant a faster, more stable, wi-fi network and without any dead spots.

All wi-fi access points can be controlled and monitored from a single PC through an intuitive interface which will allow an administrator to see which wi-fi access points are being used or which units are having problems.

In order to place the wi-fi access points where there we no power supplies, each access point was PoE capable meaning power was sent down the ethernet cable supplied from a single PoE switch.
