Hotel's Connectivity with Armada and Starlink's Advanced Solutions
As the summer of 2024 unfolds, the global hospitality industry is grappling with unprecedented challenges due to climate change. Extreme weather events are compromising critical infrastructure, disrupting power grids, and impacting hotel guest experience worldwide. A recent Wall Street Journal article highlighted the increasing pressure on power grids from climate-induced weather extremes, prompting substantial investments in infrastructure and technology to enhance resilience.
In response, hotels are turning to advanced solutions like satellite backhaul to ensure uninterrupted internet connectivity and maintain guest satisfaction. Among the leaders in this space, Armada, in collaboration with Starlink, offers a resilient and reliable connectivity solution that can be deployed anywhere, overcoming the limitations of traditional terrestrial networks. However, the complexity of acquiring, deploying, and managing these satellite connectivity options often poses a significant challenge, especially for large hotel chains and their franchise partners.
Armada's Solution: Simplifying Satellite Connectivity with Starlink and Commander
Armada simplifies this process by seamlessly integrating Starlink's high-speed satellite internet with our Commander Platform. This integration provides an easy-to-use platform for acquiring satellite terminals, backed by comprehensive Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for consistent performance. Our multi-level billing system further eases financial management by allowing hotels to bill directly to their properties while procuring connectivity under a corporate-level agreement. This ensures that both the leading hotel chain and individual franchisees can efficiently manage connectivity costs.
Commander Platform: Centralized Management of Starlink Connectivity
The Commander Platform acts as a centralized hub, offering a "single pane of glass" for managing all connected assets across hotel properties. Whether monitoring network performance, managing bandwidth, or ensuring compliance with corporate standards, the Commander Platform provides hotels with the tools needed to maintain robust operations. This platform is especially valuable in keeping communications seamless during extreme weather events, leveraging Starlink's resilient satellite network.
