The Bandwidth Boom: Why Hotels Are Upgrading to Dedicated Connectivity

In recent years here at Synoptic we’ve noticed a big shift change in the mindset of the hotel sector. The demands on bandwidth have dramatically increased so hotels can no longer get by on substandard internet services.

Hotels are now all going for Dedicated Internet Access leased lines to power their facilities, from the operations side of the hotel to the demand from guests whose bandwidth usages are growing by the year. Not to mention those hotels that heavily rely on conferences and events taking place, a hotel is very exposed if things go wrong with the internet service during an event.

 Many hotel guests, especially business travellers, rely on the internet service to stay connected with their offices, clients, and partners. They need internet access to check emails, access cloud-based applications, participate in video conferences and conduct online research. A reliable internet connection enables them to work efficiently during their stay, which is vital for their productivity.

Internet access is critical for hotels to engage with potential guests through their websites, online booking platforms, and social media. Travelers often research and book accommodations online, and if a hotel lacks internet connectivity or has poor reviews about its internet service, it can significantly impact its reputation and potential.

At Synoptic we’ve made a concerted effort to understand the pain points of the hotel sector and are now proud to have on board 11 top hotels as customers.

Here’s the thoughts of one of our valued hotel customers.

Micheál Cunningham - General Manager - Seafield Hotel & Spa Resort commented - Once we engaged with Synoptic, we knew straight away we were in good hands, they were able to deliver high-grade fibre leased line connectivity to the hotel which now allows us to distribute 1Gbps symmetrical internet access throughout the complex.

From start to finish the team at Synoptic managed the whole installation process seamlessly, we're now strongly positioned and future-proofed for any bandwidth requirements our casual or corporate guests may have. I would highly recommend the team at Synoptic to any business that's looking to move their critical internet connectivity to the next level ".
