Nordic Choice provides hotel guests with better work tools
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
(Fornebu, 29th May 2013) Nordic Choice Hospitality Group AS has chosen Telenor
as the supplier of computer networks to its hotels in the Nordic region. The
hotel group is hereby guaranteeing its future computer use.
Through the agreement with Telenor, Nordic Choice will now receive broadband
with a capacity of up to 1 Gbps to its hotels in Norway and Sweden. The higher
capacity will be used for hotel operations and WiFi zones for hotel and
conference guests at the chain's Nordic hotels. The capacity also enables
innovation around new and exciting services in the future.
'The agreement we have entered into with Telenor is an important step in our
strategic IT initiatives. High internet capacity is a prerequisite for meeting
the usage needs of guests. The usage pattern of guests is constantly changing,
and today's hotel guests often have between three and five devices that require
high capacity internet access. In the short term, the agreement ensures that
170 Nordic Choice hotels are able to deliver the best internet access on the
market to their guests and employees, and we're proud of that,' says Steinar
Lien, Product Manager at Nordic Choice.
The agreement is a continuation of the strategic cooperation between Nordic
Choice and Telenor that thus far has included fixed and mobile telephony, VoIP,
SMS services, WAN and WLAN (WiFi zones). With the new agreement, the hotel
chain's data infrastructure is being brought together on a single network.
'We are very pleased to be chosen in a competition against the largest Nordic IT
companies operating in the market. This is an important continuation of our
existing cooperation with Nordic Choice,' says Bjørn Ivar Moen, business market
manager at Telenor.
Telenor also intends to develop 4G coverage at the largest Nordic Choice hotels
during the course of the contract period, in order to meet users' increasing use
of data.
Innovative hotel chain
Nordic Choice is a creative and innovative hotel group. In 2011, the company
created hotel history with the opening of Comfort Hotel Xpress in Oslo. The
hotel was the world's first to combine check-in kiosks, mobile check-in online,
and room keys on mobile phones.
'Choice is an inspiring collaborative partner. We challenge each other to
develop innovative solutions, and we look forward to being part of the further
development of the hotel group's communications solutions,' says Moen.
