Acumera networks enable visibility and faster responses in order to minimize downtime, avoid run-outs, and maximize profit margins.
Acumera, Inc. was founded by the pioneers of broadband Internet access for business travelers. Back in 1993, the founders of Acumera first formed the idea for a company that would ease the lives of millions of business travelers, while enhancing operations at airports and hotels. They formed Wayport (Now ATT Wi-Fi Services), the leading supplier of Ethernet connections in hotel rooms, and the leading supplier of for-fee 802.11 "hotspot" wireless access to the public. Every month, hundreds of thousands of times, some weary businessman gets to sleep a little sooner, some hotel operates a little more smoothly, and some traveler makes good use of the increasing time spent in airport lounges.
