Lobby, large meeting rooms, swimming pool areas, etc., but
faces problem for distribution in wall-rich spaces such as room
areas. This become a serious problem for most Hospitality
Solutions due it affects precisely those areas where the better
WiFi coverage should be available.
• Current WiFi Hospitality Solutions are expensive both in terms
of deployments (CAPEX) as well as Maintenance (OPEX) due
high rates of Solution Integrators
• AtomAMPD’s solution is a cost-effective WiFi Hospitality
solution which both enhance customer experience as well as
dramatically reduce implementation and maintenance costs for
Hotel operators
