High Speed Fiber Optic Service Now Available Throughout Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa

    /24-7PressRelease/ - INDIAN WELLS, CA, August 28, 2008 - The Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa has upgraded to high speed fiber optic service in the resort's guest rooms, public areas and meeting spaces. It is the only property offering this benefit in the greater Palm Springs area and one of very few in all of Southern California. Now all guests have the fastest, cutting-edge technology for wired and wireless service. Groups can ensure their guests the fastest connections during meetings, take advantage of high definition video conferencing, and even purchase additional and/or dedicated bandwidth as well as specific Static IP's assigned only to this luxury resort in Indian Wells.

The resort now has nearly seven times more bandwidth which guarantees the fastest Esmeralda resort convention services for all users on property and ensures that there is never a slowdown. This means extremely fast download and upload speeds; large downloads are done in mere seconds!

In addition to the fastest downloads, the technology will allow such benefits as conducting high definition teleconferencing while still providing hundreds of hookups and allowing all individuals of a group to access the Palm Desert convention center's mainframe during major presentations.

With upcoming installations, the property always will be able to accommodate up to 1,250 wireless users throughout the meeting spaces. The 16,500 square foot Emerald Ballroom will be able to accommodate 600 users and a group can still arrange for even more bandwidth if necessary. There is a charge for additional bandwidth as well as necessary lead-time for installation; however owning the technology allows the property to offer this more cost-effectively and efficiently than having to outsource the service.
