    the fridges feature a switch for the guests to turn them off.

Q: How much does it cost and is my hotel suitable for the Bartech installation?
A: To be able to provide you with a quote we will usually need the following information
    a) The hotel name
    b) number of rooms to be installed
    c) Hotel infrastructure (cabling, Internet, wireless provisions, etc)
    d) Date required for the Hotel to be ready for operation
    e) The type of installation required (cabled or wireless)

    In the old days where cabling was required for an automatic system to work, installing such a system to hotels with no proper infrastructure was quite difficult and costly.
    Today's wireless and ZigBee technologies have put these requirements well in the past and almost all hotels can be easily equipped with the Bartech system.

    So give us a call or send us an email with your enquiry and we will help you out.

Q: Who bears the costs for the cabling in case we decide to use cabling for the system and what about wireless?
A: All costs regarding the cabling (if not existent) are borne by the Hotel. In most cases though there is an existing infrastructure for either telephones and/or wired Internet and no extra cabling is required.
    In the case of wireless no cabling infrastructure is required (lowering the costs for the hotel installation or modifications in the rooms) and only a few well placed wi-fi stations per floor are required to get
    a strong signal across the rooms.

Q: How long does it take for the installation to complete?
A: It usually takes from 2-6 months depending on the size of the order. This timeframe includes order, manufacturing, shipping, delivery, installation, training and monitoring of the system before sign-off.
