SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 14, 2014) - Meru Networks® (
"In the past, we had people check out of the hotel and tell us that they love the hotel, but they couldn't stay here anymore because of the low-quality Internet access. Now we have Yelp reviews about the quality of our Wi-Fi and Internet," says Barbara Perzigian, general manager of the Cupertino Inn. "Once the Meru network was deployed and everyone realized how good it was, word spread quickly. As a family-owned and operated hotel, when people tell us that our Wi-Fi is the best, they're telling us that Cupertino Inn is better than the big chain hotels."
The architectural design of Cupertino Inn was the first hurdle in deploying high-performance Wi-Fi. The Silicon Valley hotel, with a decentralized floor plan and multiple buildings, has long been popular among tech-savvy business travelers who commonly use multiple mobile devices and work from their rooms. In addition to supporting as many as 500 mobile devices at a time, the Wi-Fi has to support bandwidth-hungry applications like voice and videoconferences as well as heavy usage of email, enterprise applications and Web access. Cupertino Inn selected Meru for its high-density device support as well as for the ease of deployment and management enabled by the single-channel, Virtual Cell deployment option of the MobileFLEX architecture. The hotel's reservation manager maintains the wireless LAN for the property.
"Cupertino Inn is a four-star example of smaller hotels' ability to cost-effectively offer the most in-demand amenity -- uninterrupted Wi-Fi service," said Srinath Sarang, co-founder and general manager of the hospitality and entertainment business unit at Meru. "The ease of use of Meru's solution gives hotels both large and small the ability to meet business and leisure travelers escalating need for Wi-Fi in their rooms and in conference spaces."
