The hotel offers a wealth of amenities for the business traveler. Adding Guest2Nets wireless high speed Internet access also positions our hotel as a desired choice in the highly competitive corporate meeting and convention market."
Evans continues, Hilton Atlanta presented PossibleNOW with several challenges. Our property is large. We had meeting rooms with wired Internet access. And, we had to figure out how to interface the wireless Internet access system with our property management system."
PossibleNOWs Guest2Net met these challenges.
Guest2Nets wireless 802.11b technology gave Hilton Atlanta a solution that kept installation costs down despite the size and layout of the hotel," states Michael Boone, Vice President and General Manager of the High Speed Internet Access division at PossibleNOW. We customized the Guest2Net solution so the hotel could leverage the existing Internet access in their meeting rooms.

Hilton Atlanta was the first Hilton property with this capability."
