Chicago, IL. – Cloud5 Communications, a leading provider of communications and technology solutions for more than 5,000 hotels, MDUs, and commercial facilities across the Americas, and Positron Access Solutions, a specialist in carrier-grade telecommunications products, have partnered together to address the connectivity and cabling challenges experienced by many hospitality companies and MDUs as they seek to modernize their networks and meet the expectations of today’s guests and residents.

Traditionally, upgrading legacy network infrastructure requires a comprehensive re-cabling of the property to enable high speed Internet services. Such work is often completed during a property renovation. For properties that need to improve their networks but have no renovations on the horizon, and don’t want to invest in costly and disruptive re-cabling, Positron’s solutions, combined with Cloud5’s network expertise, can bridge the gap.

Through this partnership, Cloud5 can now offer clients with existing coaxial or twisted pair cabling the ability to provide high speed broadband without rewiring. Positron’s G.hn GAM extends Gigabit services to guest rooms or apartments over the existing coaxial cables or copper pairs – allowing properties to provide top-notch network connectivity and high-speed WIFI and/or IPTV services to guests and residents while saving substantial time, cost, and disruption to their operations.

We are thrilled to partner with Positron Access Solutions to bring these revolutionary solutions to our valued hospitality and MDU clients, said Mark Holzberg, President and CEO of Cloud5 Communications. This partnership will empower properties with legacy infrastructure to deliver seamless, high-quality, high-speed converged ethernet network access at a fraction of the cost of rewiring without construction disruption or downtime…it’s a win-win for our clients and their guests or residents, continued David Heckaman, Vice President of Product at Cloud5 Communications.

Through this collaboration, Cloud5 will integrate Positron’s GAM solutions into its suite of offerings, and support clients as they fold these solutions into their network operations - offering best practices, consultative know how and installation expertise via its skilled, five-star rated HSIA install teams.

We are pleased to partner with Cloud 5 to provide hospitality and property owners the ability to quickly and very cost effectively improve the experience of their clients and increase the value of their properties. Pierre Trudeau, President and CTO of Positron Access Solutions.
