Network Basics

WiFi Networks

WiFi Basics General Principles

• WiFi networks are powered by wired networks• WiFi Technologies evolve faster than wired technologies• Wiring infrastructure decisions affect the performance of WiFi

networks• Newer WiFi technologies can operate faster than the wired

networks the are connected to.• Signal strength is not the answer to WiFi network performance

• WiFi clients talk one at a time (half-duplex)• Available airtime is affected by a variety of factors

• Number of WiFi clients• Floor Noise• Interference

WiFi Basics

In General, Higher Frequencies:

Translate to faster potential speeds

Reach less distance

Penetrate less through objectsFrequencies

Cabling Basics

Wired Networks

Wired Network Basics

Wired Networks

When you buy a network, you buy 2 things:

• Cabling – Wires that can be used to make a network

• Electronics – The gear that uses the wires (Switches, Access Points, Routers, Computers)

Wired Networks

Wired Network Basics

Cabling and Electronics Facts

• Cabling standards and technologies evolve slower than that of electronics

• Cabling investments tend to be used far longer than electronics investments

• Cabling investments tend to be more expensive• Cabling installations are harder to implement in

buildings

Wired Networks

Wired Network Basics

Highway Analogy

• The cabling is like the field or path• Buy the property• Create the pathway• Grade the field• Setup drainage

• The Electronics are like the road• Pavement• Reflectors and paint• Guardrails

Wired Networks

Wired Network Basics

Highway Analogy

• Things affect speed capacity on a highway• Number of lanes• Speed Limit• Quantity of Traffic• Traffic Incidents

• Things affect speed capacity on a network• Technology deployed (Number of lanes and

Speed)• Load (Traffic)• Quality of data transmission (Error Rates)

Wired Network Basics

Highway Analogy - Summary

• Copper wiring has bandwidth limits• Single Mode Fiber has nearly limitless bandwidth• Cabling is relatively difficult and costly to install• Buying the right cable is critical to keep up with

future bandwidth needs

You can always buy faster electronics (more lanes of road) later if your cabling can support it (if the field

or path is wide enough)

Infrastructure Investments Technologies that can use

Single Mode Fiber

• Active Ethernet• Software Defined Networks• GPON

GPON

Infrastructure Investments

What is GPON?• Fiber Network

• GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Networking) is a type of network that uses fiber optic cabling and passive (non-powered) components throughout system to transmit data at very high speeds

• Mature Technology

• Used for many years, primarily in government and defense industry or to deliver residential internet service (FIOS)

• New to Hospitality

• Recently Installing in several New Build and Renovated Hotels

• Orlando World Center Marriott

• Marco Island JW Marriott

• Chicago Marquis Marriott

• Atlanta Marquis Marriot

In-Room Device (ONT)

GPON

Infrastructure Investments

GPON Benefits• Future-proof your building

• GPON Networks use a type of fiber optic cabling that has near limitless bandwidth capacity (over 100 terabytes per second of theoretical capacity)

• Once the cable plant is installed, only the electronic components will need to be upgraded over time

• All services such as TV, Voice, and Data can be run across a single cable

• Dramatic reduction of copper cabling and associated cost• Reduction of project cost for new-builds• Fiber optic cabling is smaller, stronger and lighter than

copper cabling• Reduce Power

• GPON devices much require less power than traditional network equipment

• Reduce Space• Less space is needed for equipment

Fiber vs. Copper bundle

GPON

Infrastructure Investments

GPON Drawbacks• Power

• Devices supplied by fiber for data need an alternative power source.• Distributed DC power plants are expensive and quickly erode savings.

• Vendor Interoperability• Products do not function between vendors.• Think proprietary DSL systems and previous EBay maintenance

strategies.• Vendor Diversity

• There are only three major GPON manufacturers.• It is impossible to predict the “Motorola Effect”

• Configuration Tools• Born from the Telco Industry, tools have not fully matured.

• GPNS Provider Lack of Experience and in some cases Interest• Guest-Tek and Swisscom have shown interest.

• Deployment Methods• Fiber deployment methods may not directly translate to future/multi-

Gig Ethernet Models• Market Adoption in Campus Environments

• It is unclear if this infrastructure will win out vs other fiber based deployments

Infrastructure Investments

Summary• Fiber should be considered when making investments in hotel

networks• Cabling is expensive• Cabling is difficult to install• Single mode fiber offers the most potential for future growth

• GPON is a proven technology that uses single mode fiber• Used to deliver residential service and in the government sector

for well over a decade• GPON is proving a useful networking technique for in-building

applications, like hotels• The Fiber GPON networks use today can be used by tomorrow’s

networks• Future speeds are nearly limitless• The fiber’s capabilities will likely outlast the buildings in which it

is installed• GPON network deployment costs are decreasing

• GPON Networks are typically less costly for new builds• Costs tend to be on par with copper networks for renovations
