# PowerCloud Systems Brings the Power of the Cloud to High-Density Wi-Fi Deployments

*Enables Partners to Deliver Affordable, High-Capacity Wi-Fi-as-a-Service for Hospitality Customers*

*HITEC Booth #1847*

**HITEC – MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – June 25, 2013 –**** **PowerCloud® Systems, a pioneer in cloud-powered networking for businesses supporting mobile guests, today unveiled a high-density Wi-Fi solution leveraging its CloudCommandÔ Enterprise Virtual Management Center (VMC). Particularly well suited for the hospitality industry where serving large numbers of mobile users is required, the cloud-based platform combined with its high-capacity Access Points (APs) deliver high-density deployments with the industry’s lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

“A capacity-oriented approach to Wi-Fi is quickly replacing the traditional coverage-oriented model, particularly for businesses with connected mobile guests,” said Jeff Abramowitz, CEO of PowerCloud Systems. “The PowerCloud solution is ideally positioned for this transition with high-capacity access points, scalable and efficient management and the lowest TCO for high density environments.”

High-density wireless networks are characterized by many users in a limited space accessing the same Wi-Fi network simultaneously. This means there is a proliferation of personal mobile devices demanding high data transfer rates across a large number of concurrent connections. The industry’s current coverage-oriented model of providing wireless services in these environments leads to expensive access points with complex installations and high TCO. The PowerCloud solution offers a new approach to these implementations with dual-band APs that are more cost effective, scalable, and manageable.

Through a combination of the PowerCloud CloudCommand Enterprise VMC and portfolio of APs, hospitality organizations can implement cost-effective cloud-based solutions that can be deployed quickly.  PowerCloud specializes in delivering enterprise-class Wi-Fi using the cloud to deliver intelligence, security and control to a network of APs without the need for an expensive, on-site controller. The company’s portfolio of high-performance APs provides solutions for both indoor and outdoor applications.

The PowerCloud product offering and business model are ideal for channel partners that are looking to provide Wi-Fi-as-a-service in the hospitality space. The solution meets the high-capacity connectivity needs of today’s mobile guests, while serving as a platform for partners to add cloud-based CRM and business intelligence services. In addition, PowerCloud’s management system includes MSPview™, a multi-network dashboard specifically designed for channel partners that enables them to manage multiple customer networks from a single portal. The PowerCloud business model also enables the delivery of tiered service options with varying degrees of functionality.

“The PowerCloud Wi-Fi solution has met all the capacity requirements of our customers,” said Jeffrey Lawton, president of Smart Hospitality. “Beyond just high-density connectivity, the extensibility of the CloudCommand platform enables us to offer additional cloud services such as location-based applications across multiple tiers.”

PowerCloud recently announced the rollout of the high capacity Wi-Fi solution at the [Nickelodeon Suites Resort](http://www.powercloudsystems.com/pressreleases.php?p=4) in Orlando. The hotel has deployed hundreds of PowerCloud APs to serve its highly dense environment where wireless connectivity is served to thousands of Wi-Fi enabled set-top-boxes and mobile guest devices.

Interested parties can find out more about PowerCloud Systems’ offerings at the HITEC conference and tradeshow, booth #1847.
