Has anyone done a WiFi install using Nomadix as the controller and RoomMaster as the PMS?

nomadix basic 50 users
$ 400+ to add more
$ 400+ to add pms
look at at zyel vsg 1200


i have installed both but not with pms
hotels offer here free access. the gui interface on the zyxel can be accessed through ie brouwser so customer can get reports on use .etc

I am having problems with the integration. Would really appreciate help, if anyone has dealt with Nomadix and any type of PMS integration before.

The large Colubris AP is browser-based as well. It makes config a snap.

so just to keep this topic alive, the customer went and got the whole setup from the CableTV company. What did they get?: a bunch of linksys/cisco 24 port switches, some Belden Pre-N router's with wireless capability (which can be setup as access points only) and they have like 5 cable modems. I don't see any routers. And that's it from what I can tell! Any guest who plugs in their computer or uses the wireless get's assigned a public IP! I don't understand why they are being given public IP addresses. It's a little strange in my opinion.

If I were to take this route and got some APs and switches together and did a NAT setup with DHCP from the router, would it work ( I say yes) but I am concerned about guest's using SMTP mail lack of compatibility. Am I on the right track.

Hi,

My company just got a contract from china to wire up 20K++ buildings and more in future can anyone here suggest a good wifi infrastruture solution company who can handle this massive project.

currently we are working with an australian company, but we would like to keep our options open. All suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I have another Hotel client who wants to implement hi-speed wireless. At a previous hotel he claims they had an access point in the drop ceiling and the antenna was a piece of some type of coaxial cable that connected to the antenna connector and the cable ran the entire length of the hallway. They claimed this worked really well.

We don't who made it or what type of cable. Any ideas how this could be implemented?

I have installed that type of cable, it did indeed look like coax the catch was if you looked real close you would see small cuts through the shield every few inches that exposed the core, can'nt remember the name of the equipment but worked well

I know in the past we have installed cable for cellular sites designed to deliberately bleed signal. It was radiax cable.

It's a "leaky coax" installation. You hook up the cable that purposely leaks RF signal (split shield as mentioned) to a particular area in a building. It's used a lot in emergency situations and stairwells for fire and rescue workers so cell phones or 800Mhz radios work in times of need. It can be implemented for almost any RF application.

Pretty interesting concept actually.
