"We're being driven by the hotel guest�s requirement for fast, reliable wireless Internet access without variation.  Hotels tell us that if a guest loses a connection, they can lose a repeat guest,� said Michael Wasik, president and CEO of SuiteSpeed.  "With SuiteScope preventive network monitoring, we identify and resolve problems before they impact the user.� 

SuiteScope monitors each hotel network from the SuiteSpeed Network Operations Center in Colorado. The system tracks network activity to identify problems with all network components including the ISP, SuiteLink Gateway, wireless access points, switches, and routers.  With SuiteScope, SuiteSpeed is able to identify and resolve network problems proactively for its hotel clients. 

If a potential problem is detected in the network, the issue is escalated to a SuiteSpeed engineer.  The engineer is able to remotely view, analyze and troubleshoot network components, minimizing potential downtime. SuiteSpeed estimates that the interruptions identified by the SuiteScope monitoring system can reduce network-related guest interruptions by up to 50%.
