Telecommunications firm LIME and leading Cloud-controlled WiFi solutions provider Cisco Meraki have teamed up to offer Jamaican businesses technology aimed at increasing revenues and improving the attractiveness of their establishments to an increasingly technologically driven market.
In the first of a two-part LIME/Cisco Meraki Hosted WiFi Seminar held at the Hilton Rose Hall Hotel in Montego Bay last week, LIME’s vice president of corporate SME sales, Edward Gabbidon, invited hoteliers, restaurateurs, bankers and IT companies to be among the first to partner with LIME Business and develop a “smart facility” where patrons are able to use personal wireless devices to access services.
Respective IT specialist also got an opportunity to quiz LIME and Cisco Meraki representatives on how useful this solution was for Jamaican businesses, customer support services from LIME and the cost associated with acquiring the system. Gabbidon explained that LIME was fully backed by Cisco Meraki in terms of technical support and LIME Business is willing to come in and assess their layout, design a solution tailor-made for your business and offer solutions that do not require capital expenditure but can be done as an operational cost.
“When you buy into a Hosted WiFi Solution that gives customers effortless connectivity to access the goods and services you offer while being able to connect online from their wireless devices, it gives business owners added revenue channels and improves customer comfort and satisfaction,” Gabbidon said.
“The tourism sector stands to benefit greatly from this partnership between LIME and Cisco Meraki, as Jamaica will have access to first world level internet service solutions, while visitors can stay connected to their homes and offices through the use of their smart devices,” he added.
Cisco Meraki field sales engineer Benton Heles noted that the system is easy to deploy, as implementation can be done in under an hour and offers ease of management and flexibility. Additionally, he said through the cloud connectivity, the system will be afforded to everyone wherever the service is offered and can be configured and managed remotely.
