"The Springfield Sheraton hotel has a long-standing reputation for
superior customer service and guest satisfaction throughout every aspect of
our business. When guests began to complain about dropped connections and
poor performance on the wireless network, we knew we needed to replace our
legacy system with a solution that could deliver predictive high performance
from the lobby to the guests' rooms to the conference rooms. Through working
with our technology partner, The Kelser Corporation and Meru Networks, we
implemented a key upgrade to our system. Kelser teamed with Meru to install
the AP1000i which had an immediate impact on our network's performance.
Because it was so easy to setup, configure and deploy, we had a solution that
allowed us to rapidly address performance issues without requiring on-site IT
resources. With the price point and ease of setup, we are able to deploy this
very cost-effectively throughout the hotel and out to some of our other
locations. This was just another example of how partners like Meru Networks
and Kelser have improved service delivery to the Sheraton's clients as well
as reducing costs to the operation."

shrinking IT budgets."
