SAN FRANCISCO -- Meraki, the leader in Cloud Networking, and Accor North America today announced the completion of a nationwide WiFi deployment across all of Accor North America's Motel 6 and Studio 6 properties. With nearly 10,000 access points spanning 620 properties, the deployment represents one of the world's largest WiFi installations and is the largest cloud managed wireless LAN on record.

Accor North America (ANA) operates more than 1,100 upscale and economy properties including economy leaders Motel 6 and Studio 6. ANA's customers are increasingly embracing Internet-connected mobile devices, including laptops, smartphones and iPads. ANA sought to upgrade the wireless network for the Motel 6 and Studio 6 brands to the latest 802.11n standard to ensure that its infrastructure kept pace with its guests' needs.

ANA selected Meraki's cloud managed 802.11n technology to provide its guests with consistent, reliable coverage. Moreover, Meraki's technology enabled rapid deployment and minimized ongoing maintenance, even at ANA's large scale. The nationwide rollout was completed in just five months. In this short period, over 620 properties were upgraded. Each property - up to 600 rooms and 17 buildings – now has complete 802.11n coverage, and up to 35,000 guests use the network each week.
