Can an OpenWiFi solution deliver enterprise networking capabilities without tying a property to one hardware and software ecosystem? In this expert panel discussion, representatives from WorldVue, NetExperience, CyberTAN, and Pace International explore the technology behind OpenWiFi and its potential applications. The session also examines how property needs, deployment requirements, and long-term operating costs influence network decisions.
In this session, you’ll learn about:
- How OpenWiFi works and why separating network software from hardware can reduce vendor dependency.
- Which properties may benefit from OpenWiFi, including independent hotels and multifamily communities, and where established brand standards may influence technology choices.
- How to evaluate total cost of ownership (TCO), hardware quality, licensing models, and long-term return on investment (ROI).
- How enterprise networking features, network security, deployment processes, and future innovations fit into the OpenWiFi ecosystem.
