Corning MobileAccess, part of Corning Incorporated’s (NYSE:GLW)
Telecommunications segment, today announced that the Corning
MobileAccess distributed antenna systems have been chosen to
deliver pervasive wireless service coverage in seven Orlando hotels
and one convention center, totaling nearly 5,000 guest and meeting
rooms, and more than 1.7 million square feet.
Corning MobileAccess’ solutions were chosen because of their
unique ability to support multiple services on a single, broadband
infrastructure that addresses all of the carrier’s services,
including 4G LTE Multi-Input/Multi-Output (MIMO). The systems are
also scalable to easily accommodate future upgrades or expansions
without affecting the existing services.
“Business and leisure travelers expect consistent, reliable
coverage, and in high-traffic venues this can put a strain on
network capacity,” said Jeff Kunst, vice president of product
management, Corning MobileAccess. “The carriers are rising to the
challenge by investing in network improvements, and we are happy to
support their efforts to strengthen in-building coverage and expand
to the next generation of 4G LTE. Hotels will now be ready to meet
the increased consumer demand for 4G, while continuing to provide
an improved guest and staff experience.”
One hotel currently benefiting from the Corning MobileAccess
solutions is The Peabody Orlando (www.peabodyorlando.com), which
recently completed its $450-million expansion last September,
making it the largest non-gaming Forbes Four-Star, AAA Four Diamond
hotel in the United States. Since opening its doors in 1986, The
Peabody Orlando has established itself as the Orlando convention
hotel of choice for the nation's professional meeting planners,
offering 1,641 guestrooms including 193 suites, 300,000 square feet
of state-of-the-art meeting and function space and 105 breakout
rooms.
“We are committed to providing our guests with the highest level
of luxury and convenience. Central to this mission is ensuring they
can use the latest wireless technology as easily and reliably
inside our world-class facility as they have come to expect
outside,” said Brian Seays, regional IT director, Peabody Hotel
Group. “Corning MobileAccess’ scalable, multi-service solution
eliminates poor cellular reception and dead-spot issues,
guaranteeing consistent wireless communications in nearly every
corner of the property. By improving our own internal
communications, it also enables our staff to offer the highest
level of service and security.”
