Gale South Beach Hotel Enters New Era Of Connectivity With InfiniG’s Mobile Coverage as a Service Installation

Tuesday, June 25, 2024

InfiniG, a leader in in-building wireless solutions, announced today the successful implementation of its innovative Mobile Coverage as a Service (MCaaS) solution at the prestigious Gale South Beach Hotel, part of the Curio Collection by Hilton. This deployment marks a significant advancement in guest connectivity, ensuring seamless mobile network access throughout the hotel’s amenities, including the Dolce Italian Restaurant, Medium Cool Cocktail Lounge, and elegantly designed guest rooms.

The InfiniG MCaaS solution comprises:

• InfiniG On-Ramp: State-of-the-art hardware deployed on-site to deliver robust mobile coverage across the hotel.
• InfiniG Cloud Service: A cloud-based platform that optimizes and manages mobile network performance.

Live with multiple mobile operators, InfiniG’s MCaaS solution at the Gale South Beach Hotel is pioneering in the hospitality industry, offering guests automatic connectivity to their preferred mobile networks. This enhancement not only elevates guest experience with uninterrupted access to superior voice and data services but also positions the Gale as a standout among boutique hotels, traditionally associated with larger properties equipped with Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS). This technological edge is expected to drive higher occupancy rates, solidifying the Gale’s reputation as a leader in hospitality connectivity.

“We are excited to partner with the Gale South Beach to deliver an unparalleled mobile experience for their guests,” said Joel Lindholm, CEO of InfiniG. “Our 4-year collaboration with industry leaders Airspan and Druid Software has enabled us to create a truly innovative solution that sets a new standard for in-building mobile coverage in the hospitality sector.”

The InfiniG MCaaS solution offers several advantages for the Gale South Beach Hotel and its guests:

1. Seamless Connectivity: Guests enjoy automatic access to their mobile network without requiring additional log-ins or authentication.
2. Multi-Carrier Support: The solution accommodates major US mobile networks and their MVNO partners, allowing guests to utilize their preferred service provider.
3. Enhanced Safety: Reliable in-building coverage ensures that guests can make emergency calls from anywhere on the property.
4. Improved Guest Experience: By providing high-quality mobile services, the solution significantly enhances guest satisfaction and loyalty.

“Here at the Gale South Beach we strive to provide guests with the best possible experience. Having reliable and robust connectivity is crucial to achieving that,” said Seth Wasserman, Vice President of Information Technology at Gale Hospitality Group, which operates the hotel. “InfiniG’s MCaaS solution guarantees us far superior levels of service for our guests, for both work and play, but also safety, reinforcing our position as a leading destination in Miami Beach.”

The InfiniG MCaaS platform is reshaping in-building mobile coverage for boutique hotels like the Gale. Formerly reliant on inadequate solutions like cellular repeaters that led to poor performance and guest dissatisfaction, InfiniG now integrates Airspan’s advanced Radio Access Networks and Druid’s state-of-the-art Raemis™ MOCN Gateways. This integration ensures seamless support for multiple carriers and prepares for 5G, enhancing the guest experience and establishing a new standard of exceptional connectivity in smaller properties.

“Airspan is thrilled to be part of the InfiniG groundbreaking MCaaS solution,” said Glenn Laxdal, CEO of Airspan Networks. “Our innovative radio access technology, combined with the power of the CBRS spectrum, is helping to bridge the in-building coverage gap and unlock new opportunities for the hospitality industry.”

“Druid’s Raemis™ MOCN Gateway is a key enabler for scalable, multi-carrier mobile coverage deployments,” added Druid Software CEO Liam Kenny. “We are proud of our multi-year work with the InfiniG team to enable this transformative solution at the Gale South Beach Hotel, showcasing the immense potential of shared mobile networks and addressing the growing demand for mobile connectivity along with economic and environmental concerns.”

InfiniG’s deployment at the Gale South Beach represents a major advancement in tackling the in-building coverage challenge, affecting approximately 5.9 million commercial buildings in the US. With the growing adoption of the MCaaS model, InfiniG is set to transform mobile connectivity across diverse sectors such as hospitality, healthcare, education, and enterprise environments.
