Luxury boutique property adopts scalable network design to support new advances in smart internet technology.
ASPEN, Colo. — August 6, 2024 — Hotel Internet Services (HIS), a full-service provider of internet connectivity services and solutions for the hospitality industry, has announced the deployment of a sophisticated WiFi network upgrade for MOLLIE Aspen in Aspen, Colorado. A newly constructed luxury property designed to reflect the natural beauty of its mountain surroundings and offer refined comfort and convenience to its guests, MOLLIE Aspen selected HIS to design and implement a scalable network that would outperform typical WiFi service standards. The advanced network leverages a flexible network infrastructure that will continue to ensure robust connectivity, as more hotel services and amenities go online.
Even before opening its doors, the MOLLIE Aspen team aimed to provide a modern, frictionless and personalized stay experience, recognizing that the ability to adopt and support smart technology-based solutions would be crucial. Property leadership decided to partner with Hotel Internet Services, due to its unmatched reputation for providing guests with reliably fast internet access, while ensuring sufficient online resources for backend systems and services.
Utilizing the latest network technology and hardware resources, HIS technicians began by installing fiber optic cabling in strategic areas to deliver strong property-wide WiFi signal coverage. Next, the need to support a wide range of smart technologies and IoT-driven services was addressed by implementing Gigabyte Passive Optical Network (GPON) capabilities. GPON offers high-speed gigabit data transfers, which HIS further supported by deploying cutting-edge Ruckus access points.
To maintain optimal internet performance and security at all times, MOLLIE Aspen also utilizes the FUSION gateway, a proprietary solution from HIS that functions as an all-in-one device for easy and efficient network management. Purpose-built for largescale environments, FUSION simultaneously functions as a web and DHCP server, firewall, authentication gateway and more.
With FUSION and the advanced network ecosystem developed by HIS, MOLLIE Aspen empowers each guest device with fast internet access while providing effective connectivity for the hotel’s door locks, thermostats and other IoT-enabled systems. In addition, the property’s readily scalable network infrastructure can adapt to support more internet-based services or deliver faster speeds without requiring a complete overhaul of hardware.
“When building our new 68-room luxury hotel in Aspen, CO, we wanted to ensure that we used the very highest level of technology to ensure facilitation of the significant tech-stack that we were installing at the property,” said Jeff Bay, Managing Director at MOLLIE Aspen. “We also wanted to future-proof the operation as much as possible to streamline the ability to later adopt additional technology. HIS was able to provide the required equipment and expertise to install a sophisticated GPON architecture-based Internet system that includes an easy to use, stable and high-speed guest WiFi network.”
HIS also provides 24/7 support to MOLLIE Aspen, as well as directly to its guests, should performance or troubleshooting issues need to be addressed. HIS support technicians are available to swiftly diagnose and correct a wide range of network-related issues, without the need to involve onsite resources, allowing property staff to remain focused on other aspects of guest service.
