SONIFI’s DOCSIS solution is already deployed in many branded and independent hotels, including Hyatt Regency Montreal, Grand Hyatt San Francisco, Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport, Hilton Waikiki Beach, San Ramon Marriott and Fairmont’s Swissôtel Chicago.
DOCSIS technology provides a cost-effective and fast solution to upgrading a property’s guest Internet infrastructure. Rewiring a hotel to Ethernet can cost between $350 and $2000 per room which does not include additional losses due to construction-related service disruptions. In contrast, a SONIFI DOCSIS installation generally takes 15 minutes per room to complete and can be less than half the cost of rewiring and construction per room.
“By leveraging the hotel’s pre-existing coax wiring infrastructure, SONIFI delivers guest Internet without tearing out walls, rewiring or taking rooms out of service,” said Reed Majors, SONIFI’s GM/VP Internet Services. “The end result is increased guest satisfaction and reductions in the total cost of ownership.”
With the ever-increasing pressure to meet RevPAR and guest satisfaction goals, the need for cost-effective and reliable solution in the hospitality industry continues to grow. This technology offers a feasible Internet upgrade option for hoteliers. The proven and reliable technology of DOCSIS meets and exceeds today’s ever increasing guest usage requirements and enables a property’s existing coax wiring to be utilized for quality guest Internet access for significantly less cost than installing Ethernet.
