Weekly UpdatesMaximus Multimedia International, LLC, Peoria, Ill., a leading provider of hospitality information and entertainment-on- demand systems, has announced a newly formed partnership with Ruckus Wireless, a Wi-Fi technology pioneer focused on and dedicated to providing the next generation of Smart Wireless LAN systems to the hospitality industry. In tandem with Maximus' tailored engineering and support services, the addition of Ruckus Wireless marks the launch of truly innovative and cost-effective high-speed Internet access (HSIA) solution for the hospitality industry.
Now that same level of dedication will be offered by Maximus Multimedia International, serving the needs and interests of hospitality providers the world over with the newly formed MaxNET(TM). This partnership represents the outspoken major request by hotels around the world to leverage high speed internet access--a convenience that guests are now actively seeking in their hospitality choices.
"This is what guests are increasingly and arduously demanding," said Maximus' president and CEO, Mike Harding. "More and more travelers will visit only the hotels with very reliable high speed internet access and look at that factor when making their travel decisions. When they are able to consistently connect to the internet at high-speeds at any location within the hotel, their overall satisfaction greatly increases. This is crucial to attracting and retaining guests and it is our commitment to those within the Maximus family to achieve those goals," Harding said.
As part of the new relationship with Ruckus Wireless, Maximus will be providing professional testing and surveying of an existing hotel's infrastructure and recommend updates to ensure their guests get the reliability they expect from a wireless Internet environment.
Through intensive study and consultation with each location, Maximus will be able to install the state-of-the-art Ruckus solution, network engineered equipment monitoring and guest room call center support to the hospitality industry.
