Clayton Crowne Plaza Selects Zhone Technologies' FiberLAN for First Full Fiber
Hotel in Mid-West Region
Zhone improves Internet connectivity for hotel guests and increases occupancy
through FiberLAN network
Oakland, CA - September 19, 2013 - Zhone Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZHNE), a
global leader in FTTx network access solutions, today announced a new fiber
deployment at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Clayton, MO. The service is being
integrated by MTS, a Zhone Certified Partner, while the Clayton Crown Plaza
undergoes renovations. This solution enables guests to access reliable high-
speed Internet with greater bandwidth and fewer dropped connections from each
individual room. Dependable connectivity is an immense incentive for hotel
guests, whether traveling for business or leisure.
Prior to guestroom renovations, the Clayton Crowne Plaza consulted with their
HSIA integrator, MTS, for a future-proof way to prepare its network
infrastructure to meet guests' demands for speed and bandwidth availability. MTS
recommended implementing a fiber backbone as well as extending fiber to each of
the guestrooms. Zhone's MXK GPON-based Optical LAN solution (OLS) powering the
fiber backbone and nine intermediate distribution frames (IDF's), enabled the
hotel to be prepared for the future with the ability to install fiber to each of
the 241 guestrooms, as well as 21,000 SF of meeting space. As the renovations
continue to progress and Zhone MXK powered fiber is expanded to additional
guestrooms, the hotel guests have internet speeds of 600 Mbps wireless / 1 Gbps
hardwired and there will still be plenty of capacity to the MDF / IDF's to
reliably increase bandwidth for Internet access and new applications. This
ensures that Clayton Crowne Plaza is providing guests the bandwidth and speed
they desire along with differentiating themselves from other hotels in the area.
"Zhone's GPON deployment was critical to our success," said Greg Zes, owner of
the Clayton Crowne Plaza. "Being able to offer guests reliable high-speed
Internet has increased the guest nightly occupancy by 20% percent over the last
6 months and has also increased event booking in our meeting spaces."
"The solution has given the Clayton Crowne Plaza a way to increase revenue
through increasing its occupancy, as well as a way to prepare for the future by
enabling fiber in every guestroom as the requirements expand," said Brian
Caskey, chief marketing officer at Zhone Technologies. "The deployment will help
the hotel to significantly improve its Internet availability for guests."
FiberLAN is a high-performance and high-density, GPON-based Optical LAN solution
(OLS), delivering high speed data, voice and video to multi-level, multi-unit
commercial and industrial complexes, including hotel rooms, bandwidth demanding
desktops and work-stations. It is scalable for a single or multilevel building,
or large campus environments where customers are installing new facilities or
