10CHAPTER 1: OVERVIEW

■The system provides fast Internet connectivity and fast corporate access to end-users.

Benefits The Visitor and Community Network system provides the following benefits:

■Use existing wiring for simultaneous voice calls and data connections without the need for re-wiring. The system enables a customer to use a telephone extension to place calls while sending and receiving digital data over the same cable. A second extension over the same telephone cable can be used to place another call, send faxes, or connect an analog modem.

The customer receives Internet services more conveniently at faster speeds. Hotel guests traveling on business can access corporate Intranets and use e-mail over much more convenient connections than is currently possible.

The system allows a hotel to provide new data communication services without forfeiting any POTS revenues.

■The system’s ready-to-use, out-of-the-box installation provides easy and cost-effective setup. Its non-disruptive installation avoids complete hotel and floor shut downs.

■The system is totally manageable and provides real-time status with troubleshooting tools. Both the VCN AP and VCN AC support local management through a terminal emulating computer connection. A Telnet connection in the Internet or Intranet, supports secure remote management of the VCN AC in addition to software download.

■The system presents a low cost of ownership while providing customers with mutiple services over a single wire, and providing operators of hotels, residential telecommunications, and office towers a single manageable network. Its low cost derives from the re-use of common cabling systems, such as Category 5. It offers low cost maintenance and flexible tracking capabilities and is readily integrated with existing hotel and multiple dwelling unit (MDU) billing systems.

■The Visitor and Community Network system provides a foundation for future services such as IP telephony. The system offers the capability to present local advertising and local interest information from a Visitor and Community Network (VCN) server to users on their computer monitors. Via a VCN server, Internet, video on demand, and gaming services can be billed.

The system is easily expanded to cover the required number of rooms.
