For over a decade, Wifirst has been providing customers of Astore partner properties, the Accor group’s purchasing centre, and their teams with high-end WiFi connectivity. Building on this success, Astore and Wifirst have announced that they are now extending this collaboration internationally. From now on, all Accor partners in Europe and North Africa will be able to benefit from the solutions developed by Wifirst, a comprehensive multi-service offering: Business & Guest WiFi, Professional Fibre (FTTO) and VoIP.
A complete and uniform technological offering
By entrusting this new referencing to Wifirst, Astore provides partner hotels with a single point of contact capable of handling all their connectivity needs. Wifirst is involved throughout the entire process, from auditing and engineering to deployment and 24/7 monitoring, thus guaranteeing consistent service quality regardless of the country.
The offer is based on three pillars:
- High-performance WiFi: managed, secure connectivity that is separate for guests and staff, with proactive monitoring of all equipment.
-
Business fibre lines (FTTO):
Ultra-high-speed Internet access throughout the entire property. - Voice over IP (VoIP): Reliable and economical next-generation telephony solutions integrated into the hotel’s network infrastructure to anticipate the gradual disappearance of traditional copper lines.
Our mission at Astore is to simplify purchasing for our hotel partners by giving them access to the best offers in terms of competitiveness and security. After more than ten years of collaboration with Wifirst on Accor hotels in France, and following a selection process, Wifirst stood out in this exercise to extend its partnership with Astore. Hervé Renault, VP of Astore.
This new listing highlights the strength of our partnership with Accor and validates our international expansion strategy, which aims to better support our clients in their ambitions for customer excellence and geographical expansion. Jérôme de Castries, Chief Revenue Officer at Wifirst.
