Via IP3 NetAccess Gateways, guests using GBCblue computing services experience simple computer sign-up and log-on to the internet from guest rooms, lobby areas and hotel business service centers at fast internet bandwidth speeds. The built-in billing features of the IP3 NetAccess Gateways allow hoteliers to easily monitor, track and bill hotel guests as appropriate for their specific internet access and usage.
