Wireless broadband technology

Wireless broadband technology is a service which visitors expect and there is no reason not to provide it. It is simple, inexpensive - and means you can stay one step ahead of your competition by answering the needs of tomorrow’s business today.

Public wireless access points use wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) to broadcast a standard wireless frequency (up to 100 metres). Users can access the wireless network on Wi-Fi enabled equipment such as wireless laptops and personal digital assistants (PDA).

There are different types of services offered within the wireless market which range in price and service level. Typically at a basic level the service will allow the host to provide a communal area within the premises where guests can connect to the service, such as a reception area. A more complex network would provide coverage in all rooms within the premises and could be combined with wired solutions to provide a comprehensive broadband network throughout the building.

actnow offers advice on a range of wireless broadband solutions that vary in cost, service level and revenue potential.

It is important when looking into offering wireless broadband technology to consider ways of keeping the access secure. Visit our wireless broadband security pages to find out more.

Please note, in order to be able to provide broadband access to your guests you will need an unlimited usage broadband connection.
