South Beach Hotels Select Atlantic Broadband’s Business Services to Streamline Operations
Atlantic Broadband Provides Clevelander and Essex House Hotels with Fiber Optic Solutions
MIAMI, May 19, 2015 —Atlantic Broadband, an innovative provider of Internet, Phone and TV services to both businesses and residents in the greater Miami area, as well as to Western Pennsylvania, Maryland/Delaware, and Aiken, S.C., today announced that both the Clevelander Hotel and Essex House Hotel, iconic South Beach properties in the Miami Beach Art Deco District, have selected Atlantic Broadband’s Business Services to provide fiber-based Metro Ethernet with speeds up to 150 Mbps to connect both hotels’ administrative offices, as well as to expand HD entertainment offerings in hotel common areas and guest rooms.
Additionally, both the Clevelander and Essex House Hotels have Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) through Atlantic Broadband’s fiber network in order to deliver maximum performance, faster speeds and less downtime.
“Reliability, scalability and performance were key considerations in our decision to select Atlantic Broadband’s services to streamline our operations,” said Tom Burchett, Chief Financial Officer & Chief Operating Officer, BRIO Investment Group, the management company for the Clevelander and Essex House Hotel properties. “Through an underground fiber solution built by Atlantic Broadband, guests can now experience optimized Internet connectivity, and our office servers at both locations can communicate directly.” Burchett continues, “With our locations right on the beach, the salt air has corroded previous Internet systems, so when Atlantic Broadband offered to install an underground solution that would provide us with reliability and longevity, we knew who to hire. And, they delivered the solutions on time. I couldn’t be happier with the service Atlantic Broadband continues to provide to us as a business and to our guests.”
“Having both of these iconic hotels in our portfolio is a true testament to the continued growth in our Business Services offerings,” said Dave Keefe, Atlantic Broadband’s Senior Vice President and General Manager, Florida. “We’re thrilled to work together with these properties to solve a major business issue, and we look forward to continuing to work with the Essex House and the Clevelander Hotel to further support its business efficiencies.”
