Sprint的融合網絡解決方案團隊正在為M Resort安裝一個通用的通信系統,通過該系統可以向移動電話,黑莓,PDA和筆記本電腦發送無線語音和數據服務信號。該網絡將覆蓋餐廳,溫泉,游戲區和390間客房。

“自營業之日起,M Resort將配備最先進的通信技術以滿足我們客人以及我們團隊成員的需要。”該旅游勝地的信息技術副總裁在一次發言中說道。“通過采用無線技術我們將可以在業務的各個方面起到決定性的作用。”

MobileAccess的通用無線網絡可以和公共安全機構所采用的雙工無線電通信設備一樣很好地容納眾多的商業無線架構。

Sprint和MobileAccess不僅在現有的無線網絡中有豐富的經驗,兩家公司同時還是WiMax實現的先行者。MobileAccess的組合產品已經率先實現WiMax的功能,Sprint也開始尋求如何在美國國內部署WiMax。

兩家公司在度假村和水療區建設時就開始強調建立無線網絡的重要性。

“通過建立地面上永不掉線的無縫無線網絡覆蓋,M Resort第一天就將脫穎而出成為最尖端的高消費場所。”MobileAccess的CEO Cathy Zatloukal在一次發言中提到。

Giant wireless hotspot planned for Las Vegas resort

A 2 million-square-foot wireless in-building network is planned for the M Resort, Spa, and Casino, under construction in Las Vegas. The giant hotspot, being installed by cell phone service provider Sprint and in-building infrastructure builder MobileAccess, will seamlessly link a variety of incompatible wireless architectures.

Sprint's Converged Network Solutions team is fitting the M Resort with a universal communications system that will deliver wireless voice and data services to mobile phones, BlackBerrys, PDAs, and laptops throughout the facility. The network will cover restaurants, spas, gaming areas, and 390 guest rooms.

"The M Resort will be equipped with the latest communications technology to accommodate the needs of our guests, as well as our team members, from the moment we open our doors," said Rob Willis, the resort's VP of information technology, in a statement. "By embracing wireless technology now, we can make a decisive impact on all aspects of our operations."

The MobileAccess Universal Wireless Network can accommodate numerous commercial wireless architectures as well as the two-way radios used by public-safety agencies.

While Sprint and MobileAccess have long experience with existing wireless networks, the two companies have also been in the vanguard of WiMax implementation. MobileAccess has included WiMax capability in its portfolio of products, while Sprint has been seeking to deploy WiMax across the United States.

The two companies stressed the importance of being able to install the wireless network while the resort and spa are still under construction.

"By building always-on, seamless wireless coverage from the ground up, M Resort will stand out as a cutting-edge luxury destination from day one," MobileAccess CEO Cathy Zatloukal said in a statement.
