Quick Summary
Exploring how HPE Networking Instant On enhances hospitality businesses by ensuring seamless connectivity, improving guest satisfaction, and keeping operations running efficiently.
Today’s guests expect more from their hospitality experience than ever before. The rise of remote work, the increasing use of WiFi and Bluetooth-enabled IoT devices, and the need to connect multiple gadgets mean that having a high-performance network is no longer optional—it’s essential. Hotels and resorts must also support cutting-edge smart room features like automated lighting, keyless entry, and other guest-centric technologies, all of which require reliable, high-speed connectivity.
But guest satisfaction is just one part of the equation. Your network also plays a critical role in keeping operations running smoothly—powering everything from staff communication via VoIP and instant messaging to check-in desks and Point of Sale kiosks. A stable, fast, and secure network can be the difference between seamless business operations and costly downtime.
This might seem like a tall order, but HPE Networking Instant On offers a powerful solution.
With an extensive portfolio of high-performance access points and switches, Instant On provides a seamless blend of speed, security, and easy deployment. Whether it’s ensuring smooth guest connectivity or supporting essential business functions, this networking solution is designed to keep your hospitality business running efficiently.
Meeting Guest Expectations
Nothing disrupts a great stay like slow or unreliable WiFi in guest rooms and common areas. Guests now expect strong, high-speed internet access throughout the entire property—from the parking lot to the poolside.
With evolving technology, demand for consistent connectivity will only increase. Guests frequently connect multiple devices—smartphones, tablets, laptops, and more—so your network must be able to handle high traffic loads without lag or disconnections.
Beyond speed and coverage, security is paramount. Hotels and hospitality businesses collect sensitive guest data, including personal details and payment information, making robust cybersecurity measures essential.
HPE Networking Instant On access points deliver all these capabilities and more. They provide high-speed, reliable WiFi with simple setup, centralized management, and built-in security features to keep data protected. Smart Mesh technology enables seamless coverage across large areas, eliminating dead zones and ensuring uninterrupted connectivity.
Models like the AP22 and AP32 support up to 75 simultaneous connections with ultra-fast WiFi 6E, while the AP27 extends coverage outdoors with its weather-resistant design—perfect for patios, pool areas, and open-air venues. With Instant On, your guests can enjoy a seamless, high-speed internet experience wherever they are on your property.

Business Network Requirements
Reliable, high-speed WiFi isn’t just crucial for guests—it’s essential for your business operations as well.
Network downtime can cause significant disruptions, and in the hospitality industry, this can bring operations to a standstill. A strong, stable network is vital for keeping key systems running smoothly, from booking and check-in services to staff communication via VoIP, email, and instant messaging.
Beyond guest services, modern security infrastructure depends on seamless connectivity. Access control systems, IP cameras, and smart hotel technologies—including keyless room entry, automated lighting, climate control, and voice assistants—require a fast, reliable network to function properly. Without a well-equipped system, these demands can overwhelm your network, leading to service interruptions and frustration for both staff and guests.
HPE Networking’s Instant On switches offer a reliable foundation for complex hospitality networks. Whether you need a simple plug-and-play unmanaged switch for quick network expansion or a 48-port L2+ switch for high-capacity performance, Instant On delivers a scalable, secure, and easy-to-manage networking solution. With high switching capacity, robust security protocols, and a generous PoE budget, these switches ensure uninterrupted, high-speed connectivity while remaining straightforward to deploy and monitor.
