Peppermill Hotel Casino Deploys MobileAccess Universal Wireless Network
MobileAccess Solution Provides Guests and Staff with Enhanced Communication throughout the 860,000 Square Foot Property
Vienna, Va.––December 4, 2006––MobileAccess Networks, an enterprise wireless innovator, announced today that Peppermill Casinos, Inc. deployed the MobileAccess Universal Wireless Network at the Peppermill Hotel Casino in Reno, Nevada. The MobileAccess solution enhances wireless communication and collaboration throughout the facility’s three main buildings, providing guests and staff reliable, uninterrupted coverage for SpectraLink wireless telephony, public WLAN, and cellular phone services from Cingular, Sprint and Verizon Wireless.
The MobileAccess solution is currently deployed throughout the Peppermill Hotel Casino complex, encompassing over 860,000 square feet. This award-winning property features more than 1,100 guest rooms and luxury suites, two sprawling levels of world-class gaming options, eight restaurants, 14 themed bars and lounges, and live entertainment in the Casino Cabaret and spas. In the next phase of the project, Peppermill will extend the MobileAccess solution into its new $300 million hotel scheduled to open in mid-2007. This 560,000 square foot high rise will feature 600 suites on 17 floors.
The MobileAccess Universal Wireless Network enables Peppermill to deliver all of its wireless services and applications over a single, highly flexible wireless infrastructure. This integrated approach is much more cost-effective than deploying multiple parallel systems for each individual wireless service. As important, with the modular packaging of the MobileAccess solution, Peppermill can easily and cost-effectively expand coverage areas and add new wireless services without disrupting public spaces or existing services. The MobileAccess solution locates all managed equipment, including Cisco WLAN Access Points (APs), in secure telecommunications closets, which not only makes the system easier to manage, but also preserves the aesthetics of the Hotel Casino.
“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 Bill Hughes, director of marketing operations at Peppermill Hotel Casino. “The MobileAccess Universal Wireless Network allows us to enhance our guests’ experience by offering seamless access to wireless voice and data services and, by improving our own internal communications, it enables our staff to offer the highest level of service and security.”
“With their installation of the MobileAccess Universal Wireless Network, Peppermill Hotel Casino is setting a new standard for wireless connectivity in large-scale entertainment complexes,” said Cathy Zatloukal, president and CEO of MobileAccess. “In premier facilities like Peppermill, wireless access is more than a nice to have, it’s a must have for guests and staff. Peppermill has gained a competitive advantage by incorporating our dynamic, cutting-edge wireless network infrastructure into their facilities. And, with the adaptability of the MobileAccess solution, Peppermill can evolve their wireless infrastructure dynamically, without disrupting the communication experience of their guests and staff.”
