Hospitality Industry Network Solutions

In a city defined by its eye-popping flair, it takes an especially bold effort to stand out from the pack. Since opening in 2021, Resorts World Las Vegas has done just that: as the first new resort property to join the Las Vegas Strip in over a decade, the facility features an array of groundbreaking technologies that take hospitality, gaming, and entertainment to a whole new level—and it’s all made possible by an extensive fiber optic infrastructure.

Every hotel guest has certain expectations when they book their stay. They expect top tier customer service, affordable prices and ample amenities – and chief among them is fast, reliable Internet. Guests are more likely to complain about shoddy Wi-Fi than delayed room service or a late check-in. Technology in the hospitality space is rapidly evolving, and hospitality companies need to reimagine what the hotel of the future looks like to keep up with visitors' expectations.

Few industries were hit harder by the pandemic than hospitality, with one study showing nearly four million jobs lost. Even with the expected economic boom due to pent up travel demand, the industry will take years to fully recover. But it’s also an opportunity for hospitality to build back better. Simultaneous with the industry’s recovery will be the widespread rollout of fiber-deep and data rich networks like 5G and WI-FI 6. (5G networks, for one, are likely to cover 40% of the world by 2024.) These networks can support technologies that help hotel guests feel safer post-pandemic, and enable the industry to lay the groundwork for other high-tech services in the future.
