 Niantic, Conn. — November 10, 2011
— The Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa has
recently upgraded its guestroom temperature control system to a
networked
energy management system utilizing the Deep Mesh Network (DMN)
architecture
from INNCOM. Since the 1,310-room property converted to this robust
wireless
environment nearly eight months ago, energy consumption has dropped by
21
percent without requiring the 40-year-old facility to undergo an
extensive or
costly installation effort. Best yet, the hotel is well positioned to
adapt to
future technologies. INNCOM is the global hospitality-industry leader in advanced energy-management and Integrated Room Automation Systems (IRAS) for hotels and resorts. With extensive experience in networking guestroom equipment spanning more than a quarter of a century, INNCOM is considered to be a pioneer in wireless environment installation. "Over the past few years we have
witnessed the
need for a robust and reliable wireless architecture that is available
at a lower
installed price than traditional wireless systems, and that has the
capability
of adapting to future technologies," said John Tavares, INNCOM VP
Marketing
and Sales. "Our Deep Mesh Network uses advanced radio frequency
technology
to provide better control and monitoring over a hotel's HVAC, lighting
and
other equipment with the goals of reducing energy consumption and
simultaneously improving the guest experience. By migrating to a
wireless
environment, hotels such as the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa
receive
state-of-the-art integrated room and building automation for a much
lower
cost."
Tyrone Crockwell, Director of Engineering for the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa and Market Engineering for Marriott’s properties in Hawaii, said INNCOM's Deep Mesh Network architecture is working exceptionally well at the property.  "Marriott has been working with INNCOM for many years and
has
complete confidence in the system for saving energy and lowering
associated
costs," Crockwell said. "When you have a building of this size and
age, energy conservation is critical. With the cost of some of the
building
management solutions on the market, we couldn't afford to do a
property-wide
network overhaul. With INNCOM's wireless DMN, however, we were able to
quickly
add four wireless sensors into each guestroom for each of our four
communication
points (HVAC, lighting, thermostat and door controls) and a signal sent
from
each unit travels wirelessly through the building to communicate with
the
server. It works great."Key Features of INNCOM's DMN include:
