The Four Points by Sheraton – Milwaukee North and Ipanema improve the hotel’s guest WIFI experience

The Four Points by Sheraton – Milwaukee North has implemented 3G dual band wireless access points to improve the hotel’s guest WIFI experience. This upgrade to Ruckus Wireless dual-band access points was made possible thru Ipanema’s Technology as a Service (TaaS) program. The benefits of TaaS are:

No upfront capital cost
Hardware support and maintenance included
Hardware refresh every 36 months

The Ruckus Wireless system installed by Ipanema Solutions replaced a 3 year old 2nd generation Cisco solution. Advanced users had begun to experience connectivity issues on the older Cisco solution when using new generation devices. The new Ruckus solution has support for Windows and Macintosh users along with all major smart phones and tablet PCs such as the Apple iPhone and Apple iPads. The Ruckus Wireless system is fed bandwidth from dedicated fiber to the hotel from TimeWarner Cable. Recently the hotel upgraded this dedicated Internet to over 16 megabit along with the additional of over 100 high definition television channels in the guest rooms.

As a single source provider of technology solutions for hotels the Four Points by Sheraton now utilizes Ipanema Solutions to provide:

Back-office systems management and support
Managed hotel telephone system support and maintenance
24/7 Guest Internet and business center support
Cloud Applications
- Digital Signage
