--- Singapore Hospitality Technology Consortium (SHTC) sees HITEC as a strategic platform for North and Latin Americas

Advanced Network Technology Services (ANTSvc), a wholly owned subsidiary of ANTlabs, (www.antlabs.com ) is pleased to reveal a strategic initiative with MTS Inc., (www.mts.cc ) a market leader in providing communication solutions to the hospitality industry, to distribute and support our HSIA gateway and services in Latin America.  This joint venture is supported by the US Department of Commerce and both corporations are pleased to bring into play the range of logistical and pro-business services from the International Trade Administration to further enhance a reputable successful working relationship.  This initiative will be officially announced at the 2012 HITEC Convention in Baltimore, MD in June celebrating the 40th birthday of the world’s largest hospitality technology show.
By utilizing the U.S. Commercial Service program, MTS and ANTlabs will continue to invest business resources within the USA but will now have the capabilities to expand their platform and establish a presence in other markets.

Sanders III stated “MTS is privileged for the opportunity to grow with ANTlabs and proud to promote their products to the Americas.  With today’s tech savvy users carrying so many mobile devices, it is critical to deploy a reliable gateway product.  Using real world performance and data collected from the hundreds of Hotel & MDU HSIA networks we support, ANTlabs’ InnGate 3 series has demonstrated 47% fewer gateway/server related inbound calls to our 24x7 Guest Support call center.   Fewer calls from guests directly correlate to higher satisfaction scores, reduced staffing needs, and lower costs for our customers.”
ANTSvc’s announcement at the Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition and Conference reaffirms the position of HTIEC as the leading hospitality show for hoteliers and IT professionals.  ANTlabs and ANTSvc has been participating at HITEC for many years in various facets and will continue to participate in one of the most dynamic and innovative programs in the hospitality technology industry.

Hotels need more bandwidth to keep up with guest demands

Hotels across the country are consistently looking for solutions to improve their guest internet. A single T-1 line or even a DSL, used to be sufficient for guest connection, but as technology has continued to evolve, guest demands are increasing. Many hoteliers have trusted MTS to find the most cost efficient solution to fit their hotel specific internet needs.

A Fairfield Inn in Colorado was confident MTS could find an answer to their guest bandwidth issue and pursued a full network evaluation. After a thorough assessment of their existing network, we recommended adding a link load balancer to solve their current bandwidth concern. With an Elfiq Load Balancer, this Fairfield can increase their network speed and maintain redundancy so guests can enjoy their devices with little or no interruption. To see how MTS can help solve your guest internet issues, call us today at 800.327.7890. We have a team of professionals ready to speak with you.

What is a Link Balancer?
A Link Balancer is a network-based appliance designed to proactively manage bandwidth and multiple ISP or private links. Link balancers are also know as Multi-Homing Devices.

Link Balancers will perform the following functions:

  • Link failover: should an ISP link not be available one or more links will handle the traffic until the troubled link returns to normal.
  • Outbound traffic balancing: the link balancer will be able to distribute traffic leaving the organization across available links based on organizational preferences
  • Inbound traffic balancing: through DNS (Domain Name Service) interception, a link balancer will be able to distribute incoming traffic across all selected links. Common examples include roaming VPN clients, webmail access, transactional applications and email retrieval by remote users.
  • Session persistence management: with certain types of traffic, sessions such as SIP (VoIP), HTTPS (secure web site access) and FTP (File Transfer Protocol) cannot be balanced.
Popular models include:

LB-550B - 2 ISP links, 70Mbps total, 35Mbps Upload or download

LB-550E - 3 ISP links, 110Mbps total, 55
Mbps Upload or download

LB-800E -
6 ISP links, 480Mbps total, 240Mbps Upload or download

LB-1600E - 16 ISP links, 800Mbps total, 400Mbps Upload or download
