Ceycom Global offers 'guestnet' internet access to Holiday Inn

Ceycom Global Communication Limited the communication arm of the Golden Key Group (a member of Ceylinco Consolidated) has introduced a technology which carries data through the existing electrical cable infrastructure eliminating the need for separate Ethernet/LAN wiring commonly known as data cabling.

This technology commonly known as Power Line Communication (PLC), is ideal for existing as well as new buildings such as offices, hotels, apartment buildings, hospitals and exhibition centres.

PLC offers many advantages such as high data security, fast deployment with minimum hassle making it the ideal cost effective solution. In fact it is suitable for any application which requires distribution of data in a localised environment. It instantaneously makes any building "data ready".

The PLC system utilises the standard power socket instead of using special communication cables. Holiday Inn Colombo will be the first hotel in Colombo which will be equipped to serve all their guests in rooms with "GuestNET" services which is the broadband Internet access service via PLC replacing the cumbersome process of a dialup connection.

The solution offered provides internet access to all rooms, restaurants, the pool, area, Gym and Spaintegrated with wireless capabilities.

The revenue module worked out by Ceycom reduces the risk for the hotel minimising the cost.
