Aruba Networks, Inc., a leading provider of next-generation network access solutions for the mobile enterprise, has launched the multifunctional and affordable, dual-radio AP-103H hospitality access point (AP), with a view to enabling hotels in the Middle East to provide ultra-fast, secure and scalable Wi-Fi to employees and guests.
The AP-103H maximizes mobile device performance in moderately dense Wi-Fi environments while minimizing interference from cellular networks. It installs in minutes and easily mounts to an electrical or data wall box. It uses the existing structured cabling system to provide secure wired and Wi-Fi network access. The compact and cost-effective AP-103H delivers wireless data rates up to 300 Mbps per radio employing 802.11n technology with two spatial MIMO streams. This 2×2:2 AP features dedicated 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radios and integrated omni-directional antennas.
Graeme Kane, Sales Manager, Hospitality at Aruba Networks says, “Hotel guests expect ‘always-on’ Wi-Fi in order to find in-venue activities, access self-service apps and stream content without delay. Keeping this in mind, the AP-103H is designed to provide smarter, adaptive wireless network infrastructure that enables secure guest and employee Wi-Fi access to thousands of devices at a time and supports mobile collaboration for hotel staff.”
“With recent industry reports indicating that Dubai plans to almost double the number of hotel rooms by 2020, Saudi Arabia’s hospitality sector is growing at an annual rate over 8.5 percent with 155 new hotels expected to open the Kingdom during 2014-2015 and the Middle East outstripping Europe in building big hotels, we believe that there is a huge potential for our hospitality solutions.”
Aruba Networks’ hospitality solutions enable hospitality venues to deliver personalized services that inspire guest engagement and loyalty by providing high-speed Wi-Fi across all devices, smarter guest network access, and location-aware mobile app experiences. Aruba has a strong portfolio of customers in the hospitality sector in the Middle East including big name hotels like Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi, Sheraton Dubai Mall of the Emirates hotel and Kempinski hotel, Mall of the Emirates.
