Hotel Internet Services is expanding its online-based services with the Ruckus IoT suite.
Designed as a flexible platform able to adapt to a property’s existing infrastructure, the Ruckus IoT Suite can be deployed either by using WiFi 6 access points or by attaching a USB IoT module to pre-WiFi 6 access point hardware. Either option lets connected devices transmit and receive data without running into weak signal issues.
With the majority of IoT-based platforms requiring a fast and reliable online connection in order to function correctly, HIS with the Ruckus IoT Suite lets hoteliers adopt a single network able to support all IoT needs. Capable of supporting a range of devices and systems, the Ruckus IoT suite uses network technology that can accommodate multiple platforms while still delivering high-speed communication abilities.
The suite is scalable as hoteliers add new devices or seek wider service coverage.
The Ruckus IoT suite can support a number of IoT-based solutions:
- Door locks and door sensors;
- Motion and occupancy sensors;
- In-room thermostats, lights and blinds;
- Staff panic buttons and badges;
- Asset location beacons;
- Refrigerator/freezer temperature and humidity control;
- Water and gas leak detection; and
- Alarms and electric plug sockets.
“IoT technology represents a decisive turning point in our industry but such solutions are only as effective as the underlying network that supports them,” HIS CEO Gary Patrick said in a statement. “As more hotel devices and services come online in order receive the enhanced benefits that connectivity provides, HIS is committed to equipping hoteliers with the latest technologies that allow them to realize their goals of reducing costs, streamlining operations and enabling a personalized guest experience.”
