平方英尺的無線室內(nèi)網(wǎng)絡正在拉斯維加斯的M Resort ,Spa和Casino籌建中。這一大熱點是由手機服務提供商Sprint和室內(nèi)基礎建設商MobileAccess合作建立起來的,它將實現(xiàn)各種各樣的無線架構的無縫連接。
Sprint的融合網(wǎng)絡解決方案團隊正在為M Resort安裝一個通用的通信系統(tǒng),通過該系統(tǒng)可以向移動電話,黑莓,PDA和筆記本電腦發(fā)送無線語音和數(shù)據(jù)服務信號。該網(wǎng)絡將覆蓋餐廳,溫泉,游戲區(qū)和390間客房。
“自營業(yè)之日起,M Resort將配備最先進的通信技術以滿足我們客人以及我們團隊成員的需要。”該旅游勝地的信息技術副總裁在一次發(fā)言中說道。“通過采用無線技術我們將可以在業(yè)務的各個方面起到?jīng)Q定性的作用。”
MobileAccess的通用無線網(wǎng)絡可以和公共安全機構所采用的雙工無線電通信設備一樣很好地容納眾多的商業(yè)無線架構。
Sprint和MobileAccess不僅在現(xiàn)有的無線網(wǎng)絡中有豐富的經(jīng)驗,兩家公司同時還是WiMax實現(xiàn)的先行者。MobileAccess的組合產(chǎn)品已經(jīng)率先實現(xiàn)WiMax的功能,Sprint也開始尋求如何在美國國內(nèi)部署WiMax。
兩家公司在度假村和水療區(qū)建設時就開始強調(diào)建立無線網(wǎng)絡的重要性。
“通過建立地面上永不掉線的無縫無線網(wǎng)絡覆蓋,M Resort第一天就將脫穎而出成為最尖端的高消費場所。”MobileAccess的CEO Cathy Zatloukal在一次發(fā)言中提到。

Giant wireless hotspot planned for Las Vegas resort
A 2 million-square-foot wireless in-building network is planned for the M Resort, Spa, and Casino, under construction in Las Vegas. The giant hotspot, being installed by cell phone service provider Sprint and in-building infrastructure builder MobileAccess, will seamlessly link a variety of incompatible wireless architectures.
Sprint's Converged Network Solutions team is fitting the M Resort with a universal communications system that will deliver wireless voice and data services to mobile phones, BlackBerrys, PDAs, and laptops throughout the facility. The network will cover restaurants, spas, gaming areas, and 390 guest rooms.
"The M Resort will be equipped with the latest communications technology to accommodate the needs of our guests, as well as our team members, from the moment we open our doors," said Rob Willis, the resort's VP of information technology, in a statement. "By embracing wireless technology now, we can make a decisive impact on all aspects of our operations."
The MobileAccess Universal Wireless Network can accommodate numerous commercial wireless architectures as well as the two-way radios used by public-safety agencies.
While Sprint and MobileAccess have long experience with existing wireless networks, the two companies have also been in the vanguard of WiMax implementation. MobileAccess has included WiMax capability in its portfolio of products, while Sprint has been seeking to deploy WiMax across the United States.
The two companies stressed the importance of being able to install the wireless network while the resort and spa are still under construction.
"By building always-on, seamless wireless coverage from the ground up, M Resort will stand out as a cutting-edge luxury destination from day one," MobileAccess CEO Cathy Zatloukal said in a statement.
