APConnections has announced a major deployment at the Holiday Inn, Washington-Central/White House in Washington, DC. Visiting dignitaries will be relying on the NetEqualizer to insure responsive Internet connections.
"We try to stay ahead of the curve here in Washington D.C. Our customers are very tech savvy and require the best service when it comes to their Internet connectivity. Since installing the Netequalizer back in November, it has been smooth sailing: no busy hour slowdowns or complaints." Jeff Billings, System Administrator, Holiday Inn Central, www.inndc.com
The NetEqualizer is increasingly used in hotels because the guests demand quality Internet services. The load from many hotel guests simultaneously can create slowed Internet access. NetEqualizer users report experiencing 50% or more bandwidth.

With nearly 1,500 Holiday Inn hotels around the world, Holiday Inn remains the most popular hotel brand. They offer free high-speed Internet access at each of their facilities in the U.S. & Canada.
