Background
From business travelers to families on vacation, hotel guests today expect superior in-room Internet
performance on all their mobile devices. Without it, 40 percent of guests say it will impact their decision to
return.1 Further complicating matters, more than half of today’s business guests travel with three or four
devices2 — including smartphones, tablets and laptops — putting tremendous pressure on the hotel’s
existing wireless LAN. In fact, hotels find themselves facing network densities that are twice or three times
that of previous years. And since tablets and smartphone typically have low powered radios, they can’t
connect or remain connected without a strong and consistent signal.
How can today’s hotels deploy a cost effective network that provides the coverage and capacity required
to support this flood of mobile devices?
The challenge of deploying WLAN in hotels and other MDUs
Traditional wireless LAN access points are designed for facilities with open spaces and drop-down
ceilings where access point and cable installation is relatively simple. Contrast that with most hotels
where the architecture features many solid, compartmentalized rooms with firewalls, fire doors, and other
reflective and sound dampening materials. This architecture deflects and absorbs RF signals, making it
difficult to provide uniform or quality signal level to guest rooms.
Traditionally, access points are installed in the hallways of hotels, and push the signal through firewalls,
fire doors and around mirrors. Thus, the physical placement of the access point is a critical determinant
of the wireless LAN success.
This leads to several challenges for deploying a WLAN in the hotel:

All the unique physical obstructions mean that you can’t have a cookie cutter deployment. Hotels
need to perform time-consuming site surveys and other planning to determine the best place for each
access point. This can take up to two hours per access point. In addition, hallway ceilings of a typical
hotel are hard cap to meet fire code regulations. The cost of installation in a hard cap ceiling can
average $400/AP.

Even with a sophisticated site survey, there will still be inconsistent service quality and signal strength
from room to room. Some rooms may have acceptable signal quality, while other rooms have low
throughput and intermittent connectivity. This translates into significant guest dissatisfaction, as some
guests are forced to go out to the lobby, hallway or balcony in order to get acceptable connections.

Conventional wireless APs are installed in the corridors for maximum coverage. Typically transmitting
at their highest power levels for increased reach these APs cannot properly service low powered,
battery conserving mobile devices inside the guestroom.
Introducing the Motorola T5 PowerBroadband system:
high-speed, dependable Wi-Fi access over existing in-room phone lines
The Motorola Solutions T5 PowerBroadband system is purpose-built to provide high-performance Wi-Fi
coverage to every room in a hotel or other multi-dwelling unit (MDU). The solution starts by putting the

wireless access point on the “guest side” of the hotel fire doors and fire walls (where the people are). A
T5 system wall plate access point installs over a standard telecom wall plate and simultaneously uses the
same telephone circuit for the PBX connected in-room handset. This means that hotels can deliver highspeed Wi-Fi coverage inside every inch of every guest room without having to install new or rip-andreplace existing wiring. The solution brings a new level of affordability to high-performance, high-speed inroom Wi-Fi services (including 802.11n) that will improve the guest experience — and guest retention.
With the growing use of personal Wi-Fi devices such as smartphones and tablets, network architects may
find that some buildings can be better served by installing an access point within the room. By installing
the access point inside the guest room, the physical placement is always known. There is no need for an
expensive site survey. Each AP: installs in minutes, using existing CAT3 cabling; covers up to five rooms;
and the installation can be adjusted on the fly. In addition, the installed wall plate AP is line powered over
the telephone wire, eliminating the need for a local power supply, which can be easily disconnected
inadvertently.
The high signal level and receive sensitivity is right where it is needed to ensure high performance
connectivity — in the guest’s hotel room. The often ineffective over-saturated signal served by access
points in the hallway is eliminated — along with attenuation from walls, fire doors and bathrooms full of
tile and mirrors.
Platform highlights include:

Snap-on installation in minutes

Sleek ‘hide in site’ modular design

Uses existing single twisted pair telephony cabling, so 802.11a/b/g/n wireless service can be
extended to guest rooms without having to pull supplementary cabling

Puts the wireless access point close to the users, so signal strength is strong

Integrated RF Controller code allows up to 24 wall plate APs to operate without a dedicated controller
 significantly lowering the cost for small hotels to offer Wi-Fi services

Managed by a centrally located WiNG 5 RF controller for higher scalability, centralized management
and consistent user experience across the hotel property, and between different hotels
Solution components
The T5 PowerBroadband system is comprised of three principal hardware components:

TS-524 PowerBroadband Switch: In the equipment room, the TS-524 Broadband Switch connects
to an existing main telephone connection and existing PBX to boost data network speed and
bandwidth. The switch has 24 UTP ports to connect to the in-building wiring and two Gigabit Ethernet
ports for connection to the core network. The TS-524 integrates an RF controller to manage the
wireless LAN and high bit-rate video streams to any connected set-top box. TS-524 includes Layer 2+
IGMP Proxy, IGMP Querier, and host-aware Fast-Leave for fast IPTV channel changing.

TW-510 Wall Switch is an Ethernet only wall switch with two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports. Through
the TS-524 management, each port can be configured for 802.1x authentication, MAC address
authentication, 802.1Q access or trunk VLANs, and QoS.

TW-511 Wall Plate AP has the same form factor and Ethernet connections as the TW-510 Wall
switch, but adds a managed 802.11a/b/g/n radio. With enterprise class security, 8 WLANs, and
automatic RF management, the TW-511 provides a rapid installation, redundant, self-healing wireless
LAN.

Top three key product advantages
1. Reduces the cost of deploying Wi-Fi by leveraging existing telephone wire: The T5
PowerBroadband system is the most cost-efficient way to deliver high-speed wireless Internet in guest
rooms. Since hotels can re-use their existing telephone wiring to provide today’s guest rooms with the fast
802.11n speeds of tomorrow, there is no need to incur the expense of upgrading their copper wire to CAT5
wiring. The infrastructure in the rooms is installed by simply replacing the phone plate. The upgrade in the
rooms can be completed in minutes with a screwdriver — eliminating complex and costly installations of
access points in ceilings on guest room floors.
2. Enables revenue generating services in the guest room: The T5 PowerBroadband system lets
hotels upgrade their wireless service to 802.11n in order to meet an increasingly demanding
customer base. In addition the wall plates offer an Ethernet port to support a wired connection to an
Ethernet-enabled device, such as a digital television. This allows hotels to offer advanced services,
such as HD-IPTV and on-demand HD movies and gaming for added revenue.
3. Integrated WiNG management from guest room to meeting room: While consumer-based access
points offer no management capabilities, the T5 PowerBroadband infrastructure integrates with the
property-wide Motorola Solutions WiNG 5-based wireless LAN. Just like the traditional access points
installed in the lobby, restaurants and other central public areas throughout the property, T5 system
infrastructure can be adopted and centrally managed by Motorola Solutions RFS 6000 and RFS 7000
controllers, further simplifying initial deployment as well as everyday monitoring and management.

For current T3 customers…
Since the T5 PowerBroadband uses an updated VDSL2 chipset, it is not compatible with the previous T3
system. T3 PowerBroadband Wall Plates cannot connect to the T5 switch, or vice versa.
However, the T5 PowerBroadband system does utilize the same connections in the telephone switch
room main distribution frame (MDF) and guest room wall plate. Therefore, any in-place external filters
installed on secondary and tertiary guest rooms can be re-used. While T3 customers do need to upgrade
all switches, wall plates and wall switches, they can still use the phone lines. And, the upside in terms of
faster service speeds, better HD video delivery and WiNG integration is a powerful incentive.

Value proposition
The unique WLAN architecture of the T5 PowerBroadband system delivers significant business benefits,
helping your hotel customers to improve the guest experience and drive new revenue opportunities. Here
are the four key value proposition messages:
1. Lowers total cost of ownership
The T5 PowerBroadband system brings a new level of affordability to high-performance, high-speed
in-room Wi-Fi services, allowing hotels to provide an excellent user experience while incurring the
lowest cost and hassle possible. This cost savings is particularly important as most hotels offer inroom Wi-Fi as a free guest service.
Proof points:
 Reduces cost of deploying Wi-Fi in guest rooms by utilizing existing cabling  no need to install
CAT5 wiring or rip and replace the existing infrastructure
 Eliminates the need for a costly site survey. Conventional access points require a lot of planning
and site surveys to determine the best place to deploy each AP; this can take up to two hours per
access point. With the T5 PowerBroadband system, hotels can simply place access points in
every 3-5 rooms; there’s no need for an expensive site survey.
– Lowers installation time and costs. The infrastructure in the rooms is installed by simply
replacing the phone plate, the upgrade in the rooms can be completed in minutes with a
screwdriver — eliminating complex and costly installations of access points in ceilings on
guest room floors.
– Easy to manage. The solution integrates with a property-wide Motorola Solutions WiNG 5based management to deliver a seamless wired/wireless solution throughout the hotel
property.

2. Enhances the overall guest experience
The T5 PowerBroadband system allows your hotel customers to deliver high-speed Wi-Fi coverage
inside every inch of every guest room, providing guests with enough bandwidth to accommodate their
many devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc.). Hotels don’t need to worry about spotty coverage
in certain guest rooms and guests won’t be forced to seek out a stronger Internet connection in the
lobby.
Proof points:
 The T5 PowerBroadband system’s unique in-room architecture eliminates coverage issues. With
traditional access point-based wireless networks, wireless Internet access in guest rooms is
typically served by access points that are installed on either end of the hallway, where distance
as well as construction materials — such as heating and air-conditioning ducts — can impact
wireless coverage and performance in some of your guest rooms
 Supports 802.11n to deliver an “at-home” experience with the fastest speeds available
3. Improves repeat business rates
A hotel’s primary business is selling rooms by the night, aka 'heads-on-beds'. Repeat business is
crucial and studies have shown that a chief factor in customer loyalty is the amenities, such as
reliable high speed wireless Internet. As mentioned earlier, studies have shown that in-room Internet
performance impacts the decision to return in 40 percent of guests. Hotels that upgrade to a
seamless, ubiquitous coverage 802.11n network are better equipped to deliver the at-home
experience that business and leisure travelers desire.
4. Enables new guest services and sources of revenue
With dependable, high-performance in-room Internet service, the T5 PowerBroadband system
enables hotels to provide new guest services such as IPTV, including on-demand HD movies. The
Motorola Wall Plate includes both wireless services, as well as wired (two Ethernet ports) to
accommodate HD IPTV.

Key selling points
Following are product-specific key selling points and additional company-specific differentiators you can
bring to your customers when they choose Motorola for their mobility solutions:

Easy to install: The TW-5XX Wall Plates feature a snap-on installation that takes just minutes to
complete. A Wall Plate can be mounted over an existing phone jack wall plate in four simple steps:
–
–
–
–
Loosen the screw on the existing wall plate
Install the universal bracket
Connect the pigtail RJ11 cable from the access point to the existing RJ11 jack
“Hook and snap” install the access point to the bracket

Discrete “hide in sight” wall plates: The sleek design on the TW-5XX Wall Plates blends right into
hotel guest rooms. There are no “WLAN” or “Access Point” markings on the device and wall plate
LEDs can be disabled by network command. Hotels can simply turn the LEDs off once installation is
complete to ensure the wall plates are as unobtrusive as possible.

Patented line power: Motorola’s power-over-broadband technology delivers operating power over
telephone wire. Neither the TW-511 Wall Plate nor TW-510 Wall Switch will require a power supply if
they are installed within 1,500 feet (457.2 meters) and 2,000 feet (609.6 meters) respectively of the
TW-524 switch. As a result this unique guest room wireless network architecture minimizes
installation and maintenance costs. In addition, since there is no power supply to lose or unplug, the
solution ensures high network availability and uptime. Hotel Industry statistics show that 15 percent of
non-Motorola in-room APs have the power supply or other cable disconnected.

Universal wall plate mounting: The TW-5XX Wall Plates feature a universal mounting bracket with
five different hole patterns to match telecom plates found around the world. For added flexibility, the
backside of the access point is flat with recessed connectors, allowing the access point to be installed
on a wall, on the ceiling, or sit table top.
T5 PowerBroadband System Sales Guide
FINAL 05/29/13
Page 11 of 26

Easy to manage: The T5 PowerBroadband infrastructure integrates with your customers’ propertywide Motorola Solutions WiNG 5-based wireless LAN. Just like the traditional access points installed
in the lobby, restaurants and other central public areas throughout the property, T5 system
infrastructure can also be adopted and centrally managed by Motorola Solutions RFS 6000 and RFS
7000 controllers, further simplifying initial deployment as well as everyday monitoring and
management. Hotel operators or service providers can automatically discover and provision
equipment, as well as monitor equipment statistics and status to discover and address problems
before they impact service quality.

Scalable solution: The T5 PowerBroadband system can meet the needs of any size property 
from a small single building property to a large campus style resort with multiple buildings. For smaller
limited service hotels (less than 125 rooms), the T5 solution includes the controller feature in each
TS-524 Switch, eliminating the need for external management servers. For large resorts with multiple,
distinct RF environments, the T5 can be managed by an RF Controller on the premise, or installed at
a central network operations center.

In-room installation: The T5 PowerBroadband system puts the wireless access point close to end
users, so signal strength is strong and communications are always crisp and clear. This in-room
architecture delivers in-room coverage as its best: there are no dead zones or fluctuating
performance levels as result from when access points are installed at the end of a hallway or blocked
by a heating duct.

Motorola’s extensive industry experience: The T5 PowerBroadband system is purpose-built for
the unique needs in a hospitality environment. Motorola has a deep knowledge of telephony and

Competitive positioning
The following section outlines how the T5 PowerBroadband system positions against various indirect and
direct competitors.
Indirect competition
In order to provide high bandwidth Internet access to each guest room, hotels can opt to install Cat5/6
cable in each guest room. This rewiring project is expensive, time-consuming and complex.
In the case of new building construction, structured wiring (Ethernet, multi-line telephone and CATV) is
brought into the rooms. However, Ethernet ready cabling is not pre-installed in the corridors since the
optimal location for a Wi-Fi access point can’t be determined until the hard cap, utility and finish carpentry
are complete. That means that after construction is completed, a hotel needs to drill into walls in order to
make the necessary wire runs to install access points throughout the hallways. This could delay the
opening of a hotel or pose a serious disruption to guests if the hotel is already in operation.
Furthermore, once the access points are installed in the hallway, it will be very difficult to adjust their
location, so any RF tuning capabilities are limited. Without an expensive, time-consuming site survey
resulting in a well designed RF network; coverage to each and every room will not consistent. Often in
these installations more than 50 percent of the rooms supply only 1Mb/sec Wi-Fi connection rates.
Direct competition
Alcatel-Lucent 7130RG-N, with 7330 ISAM
The only direct competitor is the Alcatel Lucent VDSL2-based DSLAM (a scaled down version of a carrier
gateway), paired with a home gateway CPE. As such, the Alcatel solution is optimized for home use, not
for hotel/MDU applications. It offers fewer functions, lacks Auto RF management or centralized firmware
management  yet costs the same, if not more, than a T5 PowerBroadband solution. Refer to the
following chart to see a detailed comparison and understand why the T5 PowerBroadband solution is
better suited for a hotel environment.

T5 POWERBROADBAND
SYSTEM
ALCATEL-LUCENT
WHY IT MATTERS
AP size: 9 in. x 6 in. x 1.5 in.
Tabletop design
T5 PowerBroadband system access points are
designed specifically for the hotel/guest room
environment. Their small size fits discretely in
the guest room.
PRODUCT DESIGN
TW-5XX: 4.9 in. x 3.6 in. x 1.2 in.
Wall-mounted design
The Alcatel-Lucent AP is difficult to mount, while
the TW-5XX can be mounted in just two minutes.
7 front large LEDS
Wall plate LEDs can attract unwanted attention
in a guest room or distract guests as they try to
sleep. Only the TW-5XX access points allow the
LEDs to be easily disabled by network command
after installation.
Requires external power
supply
T5 PowerBroadband wall plates do not require a
separate power supply. That benefits the hotel
environment in two ways: 1) They don’t require a
cumbersome power supply, improving the
aesthetics of the guest room and 2) There is no
power cord to unplug. Hotel Industry statistics
show that 15 percent of non-Motorola in-room
APs have the power supply or other cable
disconnected. An unplugged cable means no
Internet service, unhappy guests and increased
troubleshooting/support time.
Not tamper proof
TW-511 is secure and tamperproof, purposely
designed for hotels. One large hotel chain
reported that 30 percent of their in-room
consumer APs had the antennas removed by the
guest. This can require significant maintenance.
Supports 5 GHz
Does not support 5 GHz
By mid-2013, most guest devices will support
5Ghz
Wi-Fi. 5Ghz is recommended to avoid RF
pollution.
Enterprise software for RF
management including: controller
based management, detailed
client statistics to manage the
network and guest connections,
RF monitor, neighbor recovery,
auto power
No RF management
Recessed LEDs can be disabled
after installation
Power over broadband
technology  no need for a local
power supply
Tamper proof design
WLAN FEATURES
Alcatel is a residential, single AP, single WLAN.
There’s no controller and no active RF
management. As a residential product, the 7130
is designed for low density home use. It does
not have the intelligence needed for automatic
recovery, RF interference avoidance, self-tuning,
or high density.
With Motorola, hotels can automatically discover
and provision equipment, as well as monitor
equipment statistics and status to discover and
address problems before they impact service
quality.

Target markets
The T5 PowerBroadband system is designed to deliver high-speed Wi-Fi access in guest rooms. The
following outlines the key applications for Wi-Fi in the various hotel types:
Limited service hotel
A limited service hotel offers the lowest cost travel expense. Families stay here on vacation, looking to
maximize their time and money. Cost conscious business travelers stretch the travel budget by using
limited service hotels.
Every hotel guest, whether travelling for leisure or business, expects wireless high speed Internet.
Families can access game websites and social networking to entertain their road-weary children and
keep in touch with grandparents and other family members. Business travelers can use email and
Internet access to keep tabs on work while on the road.
Select service and extended stay hotels
Select service hotels traditionally serve business travelers who need to maximize their time on the road.
These hotels are located within or near business parks, allowing easy access to customers. Business
travelers are a popular demographic. They tend to have more disposable income and use technology for
business and pleasure. They live by email, remotely connect to the office, and use the Internet every
day.
These customers will not tolerate poor wireless service. Bad word of mouth will really put a damper on
repeat business. Select service hotels place a premium value on providing 100% wireless coverage for
guest Internet access.
Full service, luxury or resort hotels
Full service hotels deliver every amenity for the leisure or business traveler. Turndown service, 24-hour
room service and on premise spa surround the guest in luxury. Five star restaurants and pool side
ordering complete the luxury package. Business travelers stay at full service hotels for the high level of
service guarantee.
Often, full service hotels are located adjacent to or include large conference facilities. On premises
conference facilities drive the business, and fill the hotel rooms. Conference attendees rightly expect a
high degree of service assurance in the wireless network. Because point of sale applications can expose
the hotel to wireless attacks, a comprehensive wireless security is required for hotel standards and
regulatory compliance.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: What is the T5 PowerBroadband solution?
A: The T5 PowerBroadband system was designed purposefully for hospitality. It provides broadband
and power over the existing telephone lines, allowing for high speed internet access, Voice over
WLAN, IPTV, Video on Demand and other IP data services to be provided to the guest rooms without
the expense of rewiring the building. It allows for fast and easy installation of wireless APs for
coverage throughout the building, without construction expenses.
Q. What components make up the solution?
A. The T5 solution consists of a Master Switch and remote Wall Plates. The TS-524 switch is installed in
the central phone room and is cross-connected onto the existing phone cabling, utilizing the same
wires as the analog voice. It has 24 UTP downlink ports and 2 Gigabit Ethernet Uplink ports. The TS524 uses VDSL2 standard chips enhanced by Motorola technology to deliver upwards of 105 Mbps to
each of 24 remote Wall Plates that are typically located in the guest rooms of a hotel and are
designed to easily snap over the existing telephone jack. The Wall Plate is completely self-contained
and offers a “no box” solution to bringing high-speed Internet access and other broadband IP services
to hotel guests. There is no local power supply to get unplugged. There is no separate modem to get
stolen.
The T5 supports 2 models of the Wall Plate: The TW-510 Ethernet Wall Switch and the TW-511 Wall
Plate AP. Both versions of the wall plate have 2 Ethernet ports, a filtered phone port and an optional
external power supply input. The TW-511 Wall Plate has an additional feature  an integrated
wireless 802.11a/b/g/n Access Point.
Q: What are the key differences between the T5 and T3 systems?
A: The T5 offers many enhancements over the previous T3 system. For example:

The T5 switch offers faster DSL speeds in excess of 100 Mbps, better HD video delivery
capabilities, SSL secured management connections, integration with the WiNG 5 management
framework and its own stack manager included for site control of multiple switches.

The T5 Wall Plates feature a smaller size, less visible, industrial design with a hidden local DC
power jack compared to the T3 version remote devices. Additionally, the TW-511 Wall Plate AP
now features 802.11n wireless with either 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz bands unlocked, enhanced Auto RF
management, Rogue AP detection and improved Wireless Voice Roaming support.
Q: When will the T5 be available?
A: The T5 PowerBroadband solution will begin shipping in early July.
Q: Are the components in the T5 system interchangeable with the previous T3 system which also
supports sub-Cat3 infrastructure?
A: No, the T5 PowerBroadband utilizes an updated VDSL2 chipset that is not compatible with the
previous T3 system. You cannot attach any of the T3 system remote wall plates to the T5 switch. Nor
can the T5 wall plates be attached to a T3 switch. Additionally, it is not recommended that the T5
system be installed simultaneously with the T3 system in a property where both share the same
cabling binder.
However, the T5 system will utilize the same connections in the telephone switch room main
distribution frame (MDF) and on the guest room wall plate. Therefore, any in-place external filters
installed on secondary or tertiary guest room phones can be re-used. Please note that each T3 has
25 UTP (guest room) downlink connections while the T5 contains the typically industry standard
configuration of 24 ports.
T5 PowerBroadband System Sales Guide
FINAL 05/29/13
Page 22 of 26
Q: Will the system work on CAT5/6 UTP?
A: Yes, the T-series VDSL2 will operate over any unshielded twisted pair (UTP) categorized or noncategorized wire. Installations over CAT5/6 infrastructure are often necessary when the wiring was
not installed with respect to Ethernet requirements such as sufficient cable pairs or in terminating
segments less than 100 meters (328 feet).
Q: How many wall plate end points can be connected to the TS-524 switch?
A: The TS-524 switch contains 24 UTP down link ports. A single TS-524 switch can support either 24
TX-0511 802.11n Wall Plates AP, 24 TX-510 Wall Switches or any combination of the two totaling 24.
Q: Is the T5 system WiNG5 compatible?
A: The T5 system can be managed by a WiNG 5 RF Controller, located on premise or from a centrally
installed Motorola NX management system. The T5 does not run native WiNG 5 code, as the
application for wireless over telephone wire infrastructure is different that the Ethernet based WiNG 5
deployments. The Wall Plates utilize the same industrial design as the AP6511 Wall Plate AP. The
TS-524 switch’s Command Line Interface (CLI) uses the same syntax as WiNG 5 RFS controllers and
is SNMP Enterprise MiB compatible.
Q: Can the T5 components be controlled by the RFS family of switches?
A: Yes the TS-524 Switch can be discovered by and integrated into a managed network using any
Motorola WiNG 5 controller such as the RFS4000, RFS 6000, RFS 7000 or NX9500 under Motorola
WiNG version 5.7 as part of the hierarchical management framework. Separately each TS-524 Switch
includes an integrated RF controller with enterprise class features such as automatic RF
management, auto-discovery, auto-provisioning, centralized firmware management, status and
statistics.
Q: What type of licensing is required for the T5 system to be managed by the RFS switches?
A: The hierarchal management will require a single Adaptive AP license for each managed TS-524
Switch.
Q: Is the T5 solution only for hotel applications?
A: No, the T5 PowerBroadband system is appropriate for other Multi-dwelling unit (MDU) applications,
such as student or military housing, senior living and patient bedside entertainment.
Q: Can the T5 system be used in traditional enterprise verticals such as Education or
Healthcare?
A: Yes, depending on the application and services required, the T-series should be considered when the
installation of CAT5 is not possible. The same ease of installation techniques seen in hotel guest
areas can be realized in student classrooms, patient facilities for clinical data access or anywhere an
existing RJ11 telephone wall plate drop appears. The “hide in plain sight” installation is appropriate
for various indoor wireless locations where a full size access point would otherwise stand out.
Q: Does the TW-511 access point support advanced WLAN services such as fast roaming and
proximity awareness?
A: Yes the TW-511 in combination with the TS-524 switch will support fast roaming protocols such as
802.11r to support VoWLAN. This functionality will not be available in the first release of the product.
With the additional support provided by the hierarchical management framework, a cloud-based
controller would supply proximity awareness and analytics to an adopted T-series network connected
device.

Q: The customer wants the rooms that are installed with the TW-511 to also have wired access
for guest laptops. Do they need to purchase the additional TW-510 Wall Plate switch?
A: No, the standard TW-511 comes integrated with two fixed 10/100 Ethernet switch ports. The TX-510
is only necessary for the subsequent rooms where the Wall Plate AP is not installed when wired
access would also be required.
Q: I keep hearing about how easy installation is. How long does it actually take to physically
install the Wall Plate?
A: It takes about 90 seconds to install either the TW-511 AP or TX-510 switch plate. First, install the
universal mounting bracket over the existing wall plate. Note the bracket can also be installed on any
flat surface. Then install the cables provided to connect the AP to the existing wiring. Next, snap on
the wall plate to the bracket. For extra security, lock it with the included security screw. The entire
procedure takes less time than for hotel staff to inventory and replenish the mini-bar!
Q: Can the TW-511 Wall Plate access point be used to perform RF site surveys?
A: The TW-511 can be powered by a locally attached power supply to operate in a standalone mode
specifically for site surveys. Any factory default AP can be accessed via an HTTP webUI. To conduct
a site survey, connect a laptop to one of the Ethernet ports, set for DHCP addressing, and log into the
webUI. The webUI will allow the user to set the AP Channel, Band, Transmit Power, and SSID. In
addition, the site survey mode will include an iPerf server to run performance tests during the survey.
When the site survey AP is connected to the TS-524 Switch, its configuration will be wiped out. Thus
there is no need to “clear” the configuration or reset the unit when the survey is complete.
Q: Why is hotel guest room installation of the access point better than traditional hallway or
corridor implementations?
A: Typically during new construction of a hotel building, structured wiring is utilized to bring multiple
services to the guest room. Structured wiring brings Ethernet (data), multi-line telephone (voice) and
coaxial cable for CATV (video). Ethernet ready cabling would not be pre-installed in corridors in
anticipation of a Wi-Fi network post construction; because the optimal location for access points
would not be known until the hard cap, utility and finish carpentry construction was complete. Hence
wire runs and their termination for the backhaul of access points would require core hammer drilling
to route such cabling. This could be a significant disruption to guests and staff if the hotel is already in
operation. Once completed, adjustments to these locations are difficult if not impossible, so any
required RF tuning capabilities are limited. This problem is exacerbated by the inherent “free space
attenuation,” consequential multi-path and co-channel interference in long indoor corridors caused by
the necessity of high gain radios required to “punch” signal into the guest the room through firewalls
lining the hallway. Without an expensive, time-consuming site survey resulting in a well designed RF
network; coverage to each and every room will not consistent. Often in these installations more than
50 percent of the rooms supply only 1Mb/sec Wi-Fi connection rates.
With in-room access point installation utilizing the Motorola T5 system, the physical placement is
always known. Installation density is easy to control and installation location is easy to change. When
the access point is installed in the room, co-channel interference is greatly reduced. It’s easy to
understand why: the walls that attenuate the guest signals also prevent one access point from
interfering with another access point on the same channel. Pre-installation site surveys can often be
eliminated entirely and the installation can be adjusted on the fly.

Q: Other vendors offer a Wi-Fi delivery system that leverages telephony wiring. How does the
Motorola T5 series compare?
A: VDSL systems from other vendors that leverage the existing telephony infrastructure utilize
connected remote modems, which are not specifically designed for deployment in hotel guest rooms.
These devices are built for simple LAN extension or small office or home office (SoHo) applications
and often integrate a consumer grade AP/router that offers a basic feature set with limited centralized
management functionality from the system.
In addition, these modems do not offer remote line power technology that eliminates a locally
attached power supply. Furthermore these devices are often bulky, have no wall or jack mount
fastening system and are prone to overheating when installed in discreet locations. Installation time
for these devices within the room is therefore increased. Casual or purposeful disconnection of these
devices in-room is a major factor impacting high availability for hotel deployments.
The TW-511 wireless Wall Plate in comparison to the consumer grade AP/router from the other
vendors is a true enterprise level access point. The TW-511 provides support for multiple VLANs,
SSIDs and secure authentication schemes. It is also a full powered access point with a high gain
antennae system that will provide coverage across adjacent guest rooms.
Training
Q: What training courses are available for the T5?
A. There are two courses available on the learning portal at http://learning.motorolasolutions.com. Both
