The Importance of Mesh Networking
As a real estate business, ensuring effective and reliable network coverage throughout your establishments is vital. Traditional networking solutions often face limitations in large, multi-story buildings or properties with challenging layouts. This is where mesh networking comes in as a game-changer.
Mesh networking technology allows you to create a wireless network that extends coverage by intelligently connecting multiple access points (APs) together. This eliminates the need for complex wiring installations, making it an ideal solution for businesses seeking quick and cost-effective network expansion.

Deployment Guidelines
Step 1: Planning and Pre-Deployment Assessment
Before diving into the deployment process, it is crucial to conduct a thorough planning and assessment phase to ensure the optimal placement and configuration of access points.
During this phase, our expert team at Integrity Hotel Partners will work closely with you to perform a site survey, assess your property's layout, review existing infrastructure, and identify potential sources of interference.
