Du's Managed Hospitality solution earns 2012 EMEA Hotel Technology Innovators Award for Kempinski

"We would like to congratulate Kempinski for receiving the EMEA Technology Innovators' Award from HTNG and EHL. Du's Managed Hospitality solution was an essential element in being selected as the winner, and we are proud to have been instrumental in earning international acknowledgement for one of our business customers," said Farid Faraidooni, Chief Commercial Officer, Du.

"Being able to provide our guests with the seamless Managed connectivity experience that they expect is pivotal to our success as a brand. By implementing the Managed Hospitality solution from Du, we have been able to deliver above and beyond our guests' expectations, which has earned us recognition on an international scale - as the award from HTNG and EHL is testament to," said Prasanna Rupasinghe, Director of Information Technology, Kempinski Mall of the Emirates Hotel.

"The Managed Hospitality solution that we have partnered with Du to provide to customers in the UAE is clearly an award-winning product, as the accolade won by Kempinski proves. Du's Managed Hospitality solution presents the answer to the internet needs of not only the hospitality sector but any sector that requires to offer their visitors internet access, and we look forward to working with Du to implement it in more customers' facilities in the future," said David Stallworthy, Chief Executive Officer, Reivernet.

Providing quality internet access is increasingly more important across the world, as visitors to organisations demand the same, or higher, connection speed that they enjoy at home. Hotels with traditional internet solutions face the problem of bandwidth overload, which leads to slower connection speeds - and therefore disgruntled customers.

The Managed Hospitality solution provided by Du in partnership with ReiverNet resolves this matter, by giving business customers the option of increasing or decreasing their bandwidth as and when needed. This provides a cost-efficient and easily manageable solution that satisfies the internet needs of all visitors to their facilities.

Du's Managed Hospitality solution is a truly smart option, where venues can automate their visitor experience, burst bandwidth when needed with Du's bandwidth on demand feature, and provide reporting tools to ensure venues make smart, fact based decisions on when to buy more bandwidth and how to get more from their existing bandwidth.
