Tsogo Sun hotels has introduced a free WiFi service at all of its various establishments across the country.

The JSE-listed hotel group installed high-speed connectivity WiFi in all its hotels, with the data limit varying per room per day, depending on which grade of hotel the guest is staying in.

In Tsogo Sun's Deluxe hotels, 750MB is free per room per day to in-house guests; in Southern Sun hotels, the cap is 500MB per room per day; in Garden Court hotels, the cap is 350MB per room per day; and in StayEasy hotels, the cap is 250MB per room per day. In all the hotels, these data limits are limited to a maximum of three devices per room.

Tsogo Sun's WiFi service was installed by service provider AlwaysOn, in the form of its Ruckus Wireless WiFi solution.

The system network offers symmetrical, high-speed Internet access at the majority of Tsogo Sun's locations using 2.4GHz and 5GHz channels to provide maximum capacity. This is a differentiator for Tsogo Sun as many other hotels only have asymmetrical Internet access.


AlwaysOn CEO Nico Pretorius says the AlwaysOn solution at Tsogo Sun consists of more than 4 000 high-performance, 802.11n dual-band Smart WiFi Access Points with adaptive antenna technology to ensure optimal WiFi coverage and performance.
