TORONTO— Starting this month, guests and visitors to any of Fairmont’s 38 hotels will be to take advantage of the company’s new system-wide wireless Internet implementation. To provide wireless network access for visitors in guestrooms and lobbies, Fairmont chose the Cisco Aironet 350 Series Access Points, part of the Cisco Mobile Office solution, due to its superior security and the fact that it is Wi-Fi compliant. Currently, Fairmont has an end-to-end Cisco network infrastructure in place, allowing the company to extend high-speed connectivity across its entire resort and city center portfolio in both guestrooms and meeting space. Tim Aubrey, vice president/technology, said, “Wireless is ideal for public spaces like lobbies because it enables the visitor to move freely around the space without having to drag an Ethernet cable.” The wireless system is expected to complement the high-speed Ethernet-based Internet access already offered in guest and meeting rooms. Service is offered for $9.95 local currency for a 24-hour time period. Gold and Platinum members of Fairmont President’s Club, the hotel company’s frequent guest program, will have complimentary access to wireless, as well as in-room high-speed Internet access.
