Wayport, the Irving-based network solutions provider enabling guest access and other public and private side applications on a single converged network, will offer the service in guest rooms, meeting rooms and common areas of all three properties.

“When Group Leaders choose the best options for accommodations and amenities for meeting-goers, they have come to expect the latest communication technology be available for their attendees during their stay. Keeping them connected to their home offices and families is vital to their productivity while traveling,” noted Joan Mooney, Executive Director of Hotel Sales, Trump Entertainment Resorts. “Working with Wayport to install and provide wireless Internet access at all three Trump Atlantic City properties was seamless and allows us to have that competitive edge when pitching meetings against cities like Orlando, San Diego and New York.”

“We are pleased to be able to work with Trump Entertainment Resorts in enhancing the overall experience of their guests,” said Kevin McKeand, vice president of hospitality for Wayport. “Our quality services and support structure align well with the high standards held by Trump hotels.”

Founded in 1996 and based in Irving, Wayport serves nearly 12,000 directly enabled and managed locations across 35 countries.
