interTouch, a leading
broadband Internet provider to the hospitality industry, has signed an agreement with The Westin Taipei to
provide the hotel with its new-generation iBIS 7.0 proprietary broadband
system.
“We are pleased to partner interTouch to provide this service for
our guests, which will allow them the freedom to roam and work anywhere in the
hotel via seamless mobility from wired to wireless access in all 288 guest rooms,
public areas and meeting rooms,” said Mr Samuel Lee, Director of Rooms, The
Westin Taipei.
Besides enhanced support of media-rich graphics, access to real-time information
feeds, free sites and customised information, guests will enjoy a wider range of
billing plans to fit their budgets and needs.
The benefits extend to the hotel as well. The
industry-recognised (InfoVision Awards 2007 Finalist) iBIS 7.0 remains stable and robust even as
hotel volumes increase, thus making it easy for future interTouch solutions to be integrated and deployed
within the hotel. With a highly flexible and intuitive graphical user interface, the iBIS
7.0 allows hotels to incorporate their brand identity, as well as promote their F&B and
other offers on the guest portal.
As part of the partnership, interTouch will also provide training for
staff at The Westin Taipei so they are able to get the most out of the new system, as
well as respond professionally to guests’ queries. interTouch’s 24-hour multi-lingual
support service is also available to all guests.
Mr Charles Reed, CEO of interTouch, said, “Increasingly, today’s discerning
business travellers expect high speed and secured Internet services that allow them
to be as productive on the road as they are in the office. With growing sophistication
security has become a major priority. interTouch responded to this by engaging a
global Fortune 500 company to perform an in-depth security evaluation of iBIS 7.0.”
