The Hilton in the Walt Disney World Resort has deployed ElevenOS to manage its guest room Internet service throughout its guest rooms, delivering intuitive, reliable and secure Internet access to business and leisure travelers alike.

And as high-speed Internet access becomes more of a commodity, many hotels now recognize their solutions must be feature-rich and flexible.
