One Wi-Fi Network, Many Uses
Some restaurants and retailers also use Xirrus Wi-Fi to play entertaining video for customers while they wait. A hotel in rural Ireland offers guest Wi-Fi in the bar area, lobby, and guest rooms — and provides a separate Wi-Fi network for the family that lives at and manages the hotel. At Dublin’s Temple Street Children’s Hospital and Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin, young patients can stay connected to their friends and classroom. Family members can visit more often and stay longer because they can connect for work. Xirrus and eir Business partnered to provide Wi-Fi networks for the hospitals
Easy to Deploy and Adapt Over Time
Setting up Advantage Wi-Fi for a new customer takes only about an hour. An eir Business technician simply installs a Xirrus access point on the roof and connects the cables. Subsequent changes typically don’t require an in-person visit.“With XMS, we can change radios from 2.4GHz to 5GHz and back with a mouse click,” Mulqueen says. “It’s all in the cloud, so we don’t have to dispatch technicians.” That saves time and keeps costs down.
Helping Small Businesses Adapt to a Mobile Society
Mulqueen concludes,“All across Ireland, people use phones, tablets, and laptops for business and their personal lives. With Advantage Wi-Fi, powered by Xirrus, we’re making it more convenient to work, shop, and play from anywhere.”
