Case Study: Kensington Close Hotel achieves secure high-speed guest Wi‑Fi and better network visibility with WatchGuard Firebox M440

Kensington Close Hotel boosts guest Wi‑Fi across 708 rooms with WatchGuard

The Kensington Close Hotel, following a major refurbishment, faced the challenge of securing its larger, more complex network and meeting high bandwidth expectations from its tech-savvy guests. IT Manager Fahyaz Khan needed a solution that offered top performance and throughput with all security features enabled, alongside critical network visibility. They chose to implement WatchGuard's solutions to address this.

WatchGuard implemented its Firebox M440 appliance, which provided faster service and structured defense with its high throughput and Power over Ethernet ports. The solution, coupled with WatchGuard Dimension, gave the hotel excellent visibility into network traffic and bandwidth consumption. This resulted in the ability to deliver transformative, secure, high-capacity Wi-Fi at speeds far greater than 54 Mbps to all guests and meeting rooms.
