    The article discusses how a soon to be opened 164 rooms property the Sinclair Hotel in Fort Worth Texas, will become one of the world most green-friendly property thanks to being the first one to implement power over Ethernet (POE) technology. Ethernet cables are traditionally used for landline phones and routers connections, but POE lets network cables carry electrical power, allowing the hotel to control and power its lights, window shades, smart mirrors, minibars, and back-up battery generator from a computer network; which reduces energy consumption and labor costs. This technology is universal and in theory could be applied anywhere, reshaping the way we design electrical systems.

    This article was very interesting! The Sinclair Hotel has been around since 1930, now they are working to revamp the building to make it power its own technology through Ethernet. This will effectively prepare the hotel for any outages on the property and notifications of issues with technology.

  • The difference between a traditional mirror TV and our smart mirror TV is that performing physical maintenance on the traditional version requires taking the whole mirror off the wall, which is a labor-intensive process. With Pro:Idiom integrated into the smart mirror, we now have a solution that is much simpler to install and service. It no longer needs to be removed from the wall. The service now happens through the software. Plus, it can even be powered through Power-over-Ethernet
  • The Sinclair Hotel’s use of Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) throughout the entire property is a leap forward in design and efficiency. All guest rooms and common areas run almost entirely on PoE, so there are very few 120-volt outlets or appliances. This technology enables the hotel to reduce its energy consumption by 30 to 40 percent while reducing the risk of electrical malfunctions

    This article spoke about Marriott's new luxury smart hotel, which may actually be the first fully smart hotel in the U.S. The hotel is powered fully by Power of Ethernet which allows it to save about 30 to 40 percent on energy consumption. The hotel also has OLED TVs in every guest room, which consumes the least energy among televisions. Furthermore, the mirrors in the bathroom are smart mirrors which means that there is no need to remove the mirror to fix it, you can simply fix it online through the software.

  • Douglas Rice, Executive Vice President and CEO of Hotel Technology Next Generation (HTNG), a non-profit industry trade association. "Beyond that, the hospitality market clearly sees the enormous benefits that an IP-based network brings in delivering a better guest experience, new services that will drive customer loyalty and better staff productivity across their hotels."
  • Ruckus contends that, for many existing hotels, Ethernet cabling is sparse or not available in every guest room. Even in locations such as the front desk, conference rooms, meeting spaces and business centers, Ethernet ports and wireless connectivity is limited.
  • The wireless provider maintains that, according to industry estimates, running a single Ethernet cable can cost up to $250 per guest room. When Wi-Fi access points, network switches, and other infrastructure products essential to running a computer network are added that cost can rise to $500 or more per room.

  • For many hoteliers, notes Ruckus, Wi-Fi has been an afterthought to the wired network with access points being retrofitted throughout the property to provide a base level of wireless connectivity to guests. But as many new services and hotel devices embrace IP as the preferred method of connectivity and management, the requirement for a unified wired and wireless network has quickly become a necessity.

    This article explains the company, Ruskus Wireless, which has introduced a powerful Wi-Fi Wall switch, called ZoneFlex 7025, with elevated speeds of 802.11n, available for the United States' and European market. This product can offer hotels with the feature of multiple IP service over a single wireless at a minimal cost per room. According to Douglas Rice, Vice President and Chief Executive Officer of Hotel Technology Next Generation: "the hospitality market sees enormous benefits that an IP-based network brings in delivering a better guest experience, new services that will lead to drive customer loyalty". This type of technology will allow for hotels to integrate their Internet enabled devices to connect to a single wireless network. Eliminating the limitations of Ethernet cables will improve the areas of guest services, and conference rooms enhancing the experience for guests. Multiple hotels do not have the infrastructure to provide the feature of wireless access throughout their facility, considering the current technological revolution; it has become more of a necessity for hotels to provide this option for their guests. This type of Wi-Fi wall switch will help reduce the cost and complications associated with implementing network services. Fundamentally, Wi-Fi is a common amenity that multiple guests request in every level of travel purpose, which many hotels should implement if their benefit will outweigh the cost.
