The national UK
Premier Inn hotel chain has signed a new and extended supply contract with
Spectrum Interactive, which will expand upon their existing Wi-Fi Hotspot (
broadband wireless internet) service coverage from half of the estate (since 2006) to include all 600 hotels.
Spectrum Interactive intends to deploy a hybrid Wi-Fi solution that offers a combination of restricted free and
unlimited chargeable access.
Simon Alberga, Executive Chairman of Spectrum Interactive, said:
"We are very proud to have been a trusted partner of Whitbread's over the last few years. This contract win strengthens our already close relationship and builds on our recent digital signage wins at Brewers Fayre and Beefeater.
To now be selected as Whitbread's exclusive Wi-Fi partner for its entire hotel estate is a vote of confidence in our ability to service the largest hotel estate in the UK and brings the total number of UK hotel rooms and managed accommodation units served by Spectrum Wi-Fi to over 85,000."
It's understood that the roll-out will be completed by the end of January 2012 and any new hotels that enter the chain will also benefit from the same service.
