Wireless Network Installation

At OneMedia, wireless networking means increased mobility with proved benefits throughout hotels, airports, convention centers, office spaces, and retail locations. Common applications for wireless network installation includes use for: business customer aggregation, enterprise/ campus inter-building connectivity, city-wide municipal networks, and wireless backhaul/ circuit replacement.

Retrofitting existing hotels with Category 5 cable without disrupting the 24 hour nature of the hotel operation is a problem that One Media Wireless has solved. Running cable to cover the ends of the hallways where the hotel staff would like to place their best guests is often not an option due to hard ceilings in the hallway. After many failed attempts to boost the signal on the access point next to the elevator, One Media Wireless and Ruckus Wireless collaborated to develop the concept of Smart Mesh Networking.

Smart Mesh Networking is a unique approach to building high-performance wireless networks that radically streamlines operational costs and ongoing management. It reduces cumbersome wireless planning and costly cable backhaul by effectively eliminating the need to run Cat 5 cabling to individual access points. In turn, Smart Mesh Networking dramatically simplifies and reduces the cost of wireless deployment.

With Smart Mesh Networking, hotel operators can now simply plug Smart Mesh enabled ZoneFlex access points into any convenient power source, and walk away. The Smart Mesh system manages the rest. No extensive RF site surveys, cable runs, configuration, or optimization adjustments are required.

If you’re currently under contract with an existing HSIA vendor and have an operational Internet Gateway, the Smart Mesh Wireless Bundle would only replace your wireless network and will interoperate with your current Internet Gateway – please call for current list of approved Internet Gateway vendors.

Benefits:

Extended signal range from high-gain directional antenna array reduces the number of access points typically required.

Smart Mesh automatically determines the best path to the Internet and maintains the best connections between access points.

An intelligent antenna in each ZoneFlex access point picks the best wireless signal at any given time and automatically steers signals around interference to ensure high availability of the wireless network.

All mesh backhaul links between access points are encrypted and hidden to ensure safe and secure operation.
