The Greenbrier Resort Deploys LGC In-Building Wireless
System to Enhance Guest Experience in Historic Property
InterReach Fusion® In-building Wireless System Upgrades Premium
Resort’s Technology Image with Pervasive Cellular Coverage
SAN JOSE, CA, November 26, 2007—LGC
Wireless, the leading supplier of
In-Building
Wireless solutions and
Network Systems to the Fortune 500, today announced that The
Greenbrier, an award-winning, ultra-luxury resort in West Virginia’s
Allegheny Mountains, has deployed LGC Wireless’ multi-carrier
InterReach Fusion in-building wireless system to deliver strong
and pervasive cellular services throughout its indoor facilities.
The Greenbrier has built a sterling reputation for outstanding
hospitality since 1778, but the National Historic Landmark had
fallen behind in offering up-to-date technology services for its
guests. Due to its thick concrete walls and hilly location of the
property, cellular signals didn’t penetrate some areas of the
building’s interior. Based on a recommendation from a leading
cellular carrier, The Greenbrier purchased the InterReach Fusion
system and had LGC Wireless deploy it while the facility was closed
for renovations during the first quarter of this year.
“The Fusion system has been a great addition to the property because
it helps put us on a technical par with other luxury resort and
conference venues,” said Mike Keatley, director of IT at The
Greenbrier. “With this system in place, we can provide the best
cellular voice and data coverage for our guests in all areas.”
The InterReach Fusion system deployed at The Greenbrier supports
multiple cellular carriers with a single set of hubs and antennas.
It includes a Main Hub located in the facility’s data center, two
expansion hubs deployed in wiring closets, and a dozen remote
antennas. Currently, U.S. Cellular offers service through the
system, Verizon Wireless has agreed to deploy coverage, and Keatley
anticipates that other carriers in the area of White Sulphur Springs
will also come on board.
“World-renowned properties like The Greenbrier choose LGC Wireless
in-building solutions more than any other brand because they deliver
high, uniform coverage in even the most challenging environments,”
said John Spindler, vice president of marketing for LGC Wireless.
“As the market-leading provider of in-building wireless systems for
the
hospitality industry, LGC delivers quality cellular connections
for hotel guests on six continents.”
