Stable and fast connectivity for customers of the Six Senses Rome thanks to INWIT
New indoor DAS coverage provides a reliable multi-operator connection for all guest needs.
Rome, 21 January 2025 – INWIT, one of Italy’s leading digital infrastructure companies, has completed the installation of a DAS (Distributed Antenna System) at the luxury hotel Six Senses Rome in Piazza di San Marcello, along Via del Corso. INWIT’s multi-operator digital infrastructure for indoor locations guarantees stable and efficient mobile network coverage for all active operators, ensuring high-level connectivity for guests and resolving the connection issues inside the historic building, where, due to the structure of the walls, the quality of communications did not live up to the services offered by the hotel. The installation in Rome marks the first step in a wider collaboration between INWIT and the Six Senses Group to improve the connection experience of its customers.
The DAS covers an area of 3,846 square metres thanks to 15 mini-antennas connected to a single active repeater, which enables the mobile technology, ensuring a reliable connection for all guest and staff’s needs across all devices (mobile phones, tablets and PCs).
The infrastructure has blended discreetly and respectfully with the architecture of the Six Senses Rome, integrating perfectly with the design of Palazzo Salviati Cesi Mellini, the hotel’s home. Indeed, the DAS solution is known for the compact size of its micro-antennas and minimal visual impact, which is ideal for settings of high artistic and architectural value.
“With this new installation, INWIT confirms its ability to enable digitalisation in indoor environments, including those of great tourist and architectural value. Our mission is to offer multi-operator, shared and high-performance infrastructure to improve connectivity even in the most prestigious hotels”, said Lucio Golinelli, INWIT’s Commercial Director.
Nicola Finamore, IT Manager at Six Senses Rome, said: “Working with a strategic partner like INWIT consolidates the cutting-edge technology of the services offered to our customers. Destinations like our urban oasis, where luxury and technology come together to satisfy growing needs, must constantly provide the tools necessary to keep connected and in touch at any time of day”.
