THOUSAND OAKS, CA — (Marketwired) — 04/23/13 — Xirrus®, the leading provider of high-performance wireless networks, today announced the deployment of its Wireless Array solution at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center, a premier, 63-acre resort located near Orlando. The Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center chose Xirrus network infrastructure to deliver a seamless wireless experience for hundreds of thousands of annual convention center guests and exhibitors. The renowned Florida resort saw an opportunity to provide enhanced wireless services for its guests in the 400,000-square-foot convention center to support the thousands of concurrently connected mobile devices convention planners expected attendees to utilize during their meetings.
“We have long understood the importance of mobile access for our hotel and convention center guests, but no one could have anticipated the huge spike in wireless demand in recent years and the paramount importance of designing a Wi-Fi network based on application performance,” says Elena Ciobotaru, network specialist for Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center. “Xirrus is uniquely architected for application performance to ensure that our guests enjoy the best wireless experience possible; and from a network operations perspective, it-s very low-touch and easy to configure and manage.”
The resort wanted to provide an upgraded wireless infrastructure for guests, and Xirrus responded by deploying 802.11ac-compatible Wi-Fi Arrays that operate at both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, easing congestion and enabling network administrators to better manage their network, assign application priorities, and aggregate different types of devices to a specific band.
Ciobotaru adds: “We know that our media-rich conventions rely on high-speed wireless connectivity. Xirrus ensures our guests enjoy consistent application performance, even under the heavy load of convention traffic with thousands of users — many with two or three devices each — accessing the network simultaneously.”
“Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center is great validation of our ability to meet the challenging Wi-Fi network demands of world-class convention centers,” said Steven Wastie, chief marketing officer for Xirrus. “The intelligent design of our solution not only provides the most capacity per user for the least amount of infrastructure equipment, but it also provides network administrators with granular insights into specific device and application usage so they can reconfigure the network on the fly to ensure the optimal end-user experience and a network that will last for years to come.”
