Despite the promise of standards based interoperability, the challenge of bringing together multiple technologies quickly and effectively can create huge hidden costs for VARs and Service Providers. Implementing public access networks further complicates their job as the implications of property owner liability heighten the need for guest user privacy and security. Yet, public access in the Hospitality market remains one of the most vibrant growth opportunities for HSIA and demands an aggressive strategy to stay ahead of the competition. SOHOware's integrated solutions for Hospitality allow VARs and Service Providers to concentrate more of their time on obtaining new client projects. From project concept to technical FAE support, SOHOware provides the right technology more cost effectively for small and mid size Hospitality properties.

"SOHOware's solutions have been deployed in a wide range of guest access properties, from hotels to multi-tenant to marinas. We understand public wireless network solutions and how to install them correctly," says Mike Mo, VP of Engineering for SOHOware. Further, "Our MIMO access points fully integrate with Alepo RBS provisioning screens, which means Service Providers can easily scale their distributed network deployments while maintaining central control over branding and self provisioning."

The integrated wireless solutions from SOHOware offer the following models and features:

--  BroadLink(TM) WAN fault tolerance and load balancing
