Hershey Entertainment & Resorts adopted BridgeWave Communications' gigabit wireless links to extend the spread of its corporate backbone and give remote full gigabit connectivity to its remote locations.

The virtual fiber links interconnect HE&R properties and entertainment venues faster and more cheaply than traditional Ethernet solutions, according to Hershey. The “future-proof capacity” of the BridgeWave configuration will support Hershey's growing network traffic including VoIP, data, IP video surveillance, point-of-sale and call-center applications for years, Hershey claims.

They also offer ubiquitous Internet access and Wi-Fi to guests and use wireless ticket scanners to keep amusement lines short.
