Upgrade Guest Room Services Without Tearing Up Your Building!

A Practical Way to Improve Connectivity

Today’s hotel guests expect reliable, high-speed connectivity and modern TV services. But for many hotel properties, upgrading the network to improve services can feel like a major construction project involving rewiring, disruption, and rooms being taken out of service.

Broadband Hospitality (BBH) offers a simpler path using Positron Access technology.

With Positron’s GAM (Gigabit Any Medium) solution, hotels can re-use their existing coaxial cabling infrastructure to enable reliable in-room connectivity and support enhanced guest services without the cost, complexity, or disruption of traditional rewiring.

How does it work?

BBH installs a Positron central head-end, typically in the hotel’s primary wiring closet, and then a small endpoint converter in selected guest rooms where new wireless access points (APs) are to be installed. As a result the coaxial cabling that is already in place does two jobs – it delivers the regular television broadcast channels AND it delivers the wired network connectivity for the improved Wi-Fi network.

Key Benefits for Hotel Properties

Modernize and improve guest in-room connectivity
Avoid major rewiring and construction
No disruption to guests or hotel operations
Save up to 50% over the cost of rewiring
Save 80% of installation time
Eliminate the need to take rooms out of inventory during the upgrade

Save Money, Save Time, and NO RECABLING!

By extending high-speed connectivity directly to Wi-Fi access points located in guest rooms over the existing coax network, BBH and Positron create a strong foundation for reliable Wi-Fi and, by extension, other in-room services

Positron Hardware & Software Design

The ITU-T G.9960 G.hn Wave-2 standard delivered by Positron hardware and software is designed to leverage RG-6/RG-59 coaxial cable to deliver up to Gigabit connection speeds to endpoints without the complexity and delays associated with in-building re-cabling.

The technology is highly stable and scalable without the inherent complexity of DSL-related technologies. G.hn leverages the coaxial infrastructure to deliver solid performance over a distance of up to 800 meters on RG-6 cabling. When using a standard coaxial splitter it is possible to serve up to 16 end devices per G.hn port on the head-end.

G.hn supports the ability to “share” the coaxial wiring with RF TV signals while delivering significant internet speeds.
