Because Hayman is in a remote island location, it was crucial for the property to find a trusted and reliable high-speed Internet access (HSIA) service provider. Prior to 2012, Hayman was unhappy with its HSIA provider, which was unable to deliver the interfaces and integrations needed to properly serve Hayman’s guests. With the previous HSIA solution, Hayman was also unable to brand services for guests or charge for Internet access, thereby losing out on an opportunity to generate additional revenue. Perhaps the most glaring deficiency was the lack of Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA)—a method for transmitting access requests in the form of user credentials, service authorization, and session accounting details between devices and networks in a real-time manner. Hayman is Australia’s most-awarded private island resort and is consistently recognized as a world leader in resort excellence. The luxurious property offers rooms nestled in the lush rainforests and sun-kissed vistas of the Whitsundays and Great Barrier Reef. Hayman has received many accolades and is a member of the prestigious organization “Leading Hotels of the World.” ©2013 Nomadix, Inc.
