Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, declared that Grand America Hotels and Resorts which comprise seven properties in Utah, Wyoming and Arizona, are upgrading their wireless infrastructure using Aruba’s 802.11ac solution. Two of the flagship hotels, the Grand America, a AAA Diamond Award-winning, Forbes Star property, and the Little America, a popular, 30-year old local landmark, are the first to complete the upgrade to Gigabit Wi-Fi.
While all seven of the Grand America Hotels and Resorts use Aruba wireless infrastructure, the hotel chain implemented 802.11ac at its Salt Lake City Grand America and Little America properties first due to the noteworthy event revenue they generate. According to Matt Ballif, Director of Event Technology for the Grand and Little America Hotels, the about 650,000 hotel guests who visit the two hotels and another 750,000 to one million annually who attend hotel events such as meetings, conferences, banquets and weddings, demand faster, more reliable Wi-Fi.
“For our event attendees, the wireless network is often mission critical,” said Ballif. “From the starting, our focus was on our 100,000 square feet of event and meeting space in the two flagship hotels and upgrading our infrastructure to provide high-speed, dependable connectivity in these frequently dense environments. That led us to taking on the entire property to upgrade the guest rooms, as well.”
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company provides technology solutions to business and public sector enterprises. It operates through Enterprise Group, Software, Enterprise Services, and Hewlett Packard Financial Services segments.
