HOTEL BROADBAND INTERCONNECTIVITY

The old adage of 'time is money' has never been truer - a high-speed connection is necessary for Internet users who need to download materials or use video for an on-line conference.

In today's environment, one in four hotel guests will use broadband services at a hotel. What's more, 42% of surveyed guests planned to download audio files during their stay, and 13% planned to download video files. iBAHN's network is designed to provide business-grade broadband services for travelers.

SECURE HOTEL NETWORK CONNECTIONS

Security on the World Wide Web (WWW) is a top concern for business travelers, especially when they are on the road. iBAHN helps keep private information private by providing a private network for guests, so that they are not visible on the public Internet.

In addition, iBAHN deploys enterprise-grade firewalls at both ends of a connection between the Points-of-Presence (POP) and the hotel property itself and uses additional measures to ensure each guest's computer is isolated from users in other hotel rooms.

In addition iBAHN is the only provider to have implemented end-to-end Wi-Fi (wireless) security through Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). That means that iBAHN wireless is a totally secure solution for business travelers.

In addition, travelers needn't worry about nasty viruses and worms. iBAHN proactively monitors for malicious programs, and as soon as such a program is detected, iBAHN disables the virus' port, thereby minimizing the chance of any service disruption and computer infection.

Major Fortune 100 companies have relied on iBAHN to provide service during their annual sales and technology meetings, and have certified their VPN network set-ups with iBAHN to ensure secure and reliable connectivity. iBAHN has certified over 350 corporations, including more than a third of the Fortune 100.
