Expanded Guest Services
Up to 85 percent of business travelers need to use
some type of business equipment during their hotel stay
(National Business Travel Monitor, 1999). Many of your
guests need to communicate online for business or personal
use. Sprint Guest Online offers a solution to the frustrations
often associated with slow dialup, congested phone lines,
and unreliable connections. Depending on the traffic
flow and your existing network configuration, Sprint
Guest Online can support hundreds of simultaneous users
over a single Internet protocol (IP) address.

Reduced PBX Congestion
Voice and data traffic does not compete, allowing for
faster transmissions and online access 24 hours a day.
This decreases the congestion on the existing voice
network that causes busy signals – frustrating guests
and inbound callers. By freeing up these lines, you
can enjoy an increase in long-distance revenue while
improving customer satisfaction.

Simple, Flexible
Connections
There is no need for your customers – or you – to reconfigure
Internet or local area network (LAN) access settings
on existing equipment. Guests and conference attendees
benefit from the simplicity of a plug-and-play connection.
Portable modems provide the flexibility to make this
solution available from room to room.
