Hospitality deployments

High-density guest Wi-Fi, PMS integration and back-of-house infrastructure.

What matters when you specify hospitality projects

Hotels and resorts are density problems disguised as coverage problems. Guests arrive with three or four devices each, conference floors spike hard and unpredictably, and the review score attached to bad Wi-Fi follows the property for years. Integrators building these networks through FUSE typically standardise on a Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7 access point family with per-room or per-corridor placement, aggregation switching with enough PoE budget for the full AP count, and a gateway that can hold captive-portal sessions for the whole house at peak occupancy.

The integration surface is what separates a hospitality deployment from a generic office one. Guest onboarding usually has to talk to the property management system — Opera, Mews or Cloudbeds — so room-number-and-surname authentication works on arrival, and logging has to be retained in a GDPR-defensible way. Around that sit IPTV, digital signage, door access and the back-of-house network for POS and kitchen systems, all of which FUSE stocks alongside the core networking so a single order covers the property.

MSPs running multi-property estates get the most value from the cloud-managed families in the catalogue, where one dashboard covers every site and a failed AP can be dispatched as a like-for-like replacement without a site survey. FUSE supports that with consistent SKU-level availability, quote history per client, and recurring-order tooling for the consumables and spares that hospitality contracts burn through.

Frequently asked questions

Is hotel Wi-Fi a coverage problem or a density problem?

Density. Guests arrive with several devices each and conference floors spike unpredictably, so access points are sized on concurrent clients per area rather than on signal coverage alone.

What has to integrate with the property management system?

Guest onboarding — room-number-and-surname authentication at the captive portal — plus logging retained in a GDPR-defensible way.
