Fontainebleau Las Vegas & MobileAccess Raise the Stakes for Wireless Coverage
Tri-Power Designs and Deploys Extensive Wireless Infrastructure with MobileAccess Universal Wireless
LAS VEGAS, NV, December 8, 2008. Tri-Power Group, a leading indoor wireless coverage provider, and MobileAccess, a global provider of enterprise wireless solutions, today announced the companies are the vendors of choice for designing and providing wireless infrastructure for Fontainebleau Las Vegas, a spectacular $2.9 billion, 63-story, 3,815-room resort, condo-hotel, casino and entertainment destination on the Las Vegas Strip. Fontainebleau, anticipated to open in fall 2009, will install a state-of-the-art, in-building wireless infrastructure throughout its 10-million square foot complex that will offer the resort competitive advantages in guest services, casino and gaming applications and operational efficiencies.
Leveraging the flexibility of the MobileAccess Universal Wireless Network, Tri-Power is delivering a comprehensive solution that supports any combination of wireless operators, ensures reliable coverage for public safety radio and simultaneously serves as a backbone for Fontainebleau's enterprise and Wi-Fi communications. With nearly 800 broadband antennas deployed throughout the resort, guests will enjoy robust high-speed wireless connectivity for their mobile devices, ensuring constant access to all business, personal and entertainment information and contacts. In addition, hotel staff will have access to seamless communications through private two-way radio and VoWi-Fi applications which will further enhance guest services.
"Providing an exceptional experience for our guests is a top priority, so we need to deploy a cutting-edge wireless system that can adapt to the ever-changing spectrum of wireless technologies and applications," said Tim Rod, CIO of Fontainbleau Resorts. "The combination of Tri-Power's extensive engineering and implementation experience and MobileAccess' Wire-It-OnceTM architecture was clearly the most flexible solution available to us for the long term."
Fontainebleau Las Vegas turned to Tri-Power to manage the deployment of the MobileAccess Universal Wireless Network. As the primary point of contact for Fontainebleau, Tri-Power is responsible for the design of the deployment as well as for interfacing with the local carrier and public safety officials to bring services online.
"Winning a high-profile project like Fontainebleau Las Vegas really validates our focus on being a trusted adviser to property owners who need to solve today's wireless coverage challenges without painting themselves into a technological corner and missing future opportunities," remarked Seth Buechley, Tri-Power's CEO.
"As a company that sets the standards in luxury and customer service, Fontainebleau Las Vegas recognizes the value of strategically investing in a wireless infrastructure that supports the diverse communication needs of sophisticated, tech-savvy resort guests," said Cathy Zatloukal, CEO of MobileAccess. "Our solution offers peace of mind and ensures a smooth transition to upgrades to cutting-edge technology. This is important to a resort that must continually improve amenities to exceed guest expectations."
