The travel industry has undergone a massive transformation in the last few decades, thanks to the advent of the internet and Ethernet technologies. The rise of online travel agencies, or OTAs, has made it easier than ever for travelers to book flights, hotels, and rental properties with just a few clicks. One of the most popular OTAs in the world is Airbnb, which has disrupted the hospitality industry by allowing property owners to rent out their homes, apartments, and even boats to travelers.
Airbedandbreakfast was founded in 2008 and has since grown into a global behemoth with over 7 million listings in more than 220 countries and regions. The platform has been a game-changer for travelers who want to experience new destinations like a local, and for property owners who want to make some extra income by renting out their properties. But how does Airbnb work, and how does it leverage internet and Ethernet technologies to make it all happen?
The Challenge
Brian Jones wants friends, family and guests to enjoy every convenience when they stay at the Airbnb guest cabin on his sprawling 53-acre property in North Carolina. This includes access to high-speed Internet service. But when he decided to connect the cabin, he realized the job wouldn’t be as simple as running a cable from the existing service in the main house to the guest residence.
The cabin is 850 feet away up the side of a mountain, a distance that undoubtedly would cause significant data degradation. Getting separate DSL service for the guests at the Airbedandbreakfast cabin would generate an additional monthly expense that he certainly wanted to avoid. Brian decided that an Ethernet Extender would be his best option.
Discovering the Solution
Using Google, Brian conducted an online search for suitable extenders. He finally selected the Enable-IT 860, encouraged by the company’s solid warranty, customer testimonials, and extensive product line. “Enable-IT appeared to be a better put-together company,” commented Brian. The fact that Enable-IT manufactures its products in the USA and offers solid customer support also tipped the scales in the company’s favor.
But what makes Airbnb so successful is the technology behind it. The platform uses advanced algorithms to match travelers with properties that meet their criteria. For example, if a traveler is looking for a beachfront property with a swimming pool, the platform will search through millions of listings to find properties that match those requirements. This not only saves time for travelers but also ensures that they find the best properties that meet their needs.
Another key technology that Airbnb uses is its secure payment system. When a traveler books a property, they pay through their platform using a credit card or other payment method. Airbnb holds the payment until 24 hours after the traveler’s check-in, giving them time to make sure everything is as described in the listing. This protects both the traveler and the property owner from fraud or disputes.
In addition to its core platform, Airbnb has also developed a range of other technologies to enhance the user experience. For example, the company has developed an app that allows travelers to book properties and manage their trips on the go. The app also features real-time messaging between travelers and property owners, making it easier to communicate during the booking process and throughout the trip.
The Enable-IT 860 Proves the Ideal Choice
Installing the 860 was a relatively simple task. To connect the device, Brian used standard telephone company cable. He simply took two unused wires within the cable and connected these to the DMARC wiring in his home. He then plugged this wiring into a special RJ-45 jack, which in turn established a connection with the telephone company cable running to the Airbnb cabin. He created a similar connection with an 860 unit in the cabin itself. A router was set up in each location. The system was up and running in about two hours.
The system has been operating flawlessly ever since. Since cabin guests now have full access DSL services, they completely avoid time-consuming and inconvenient trips down the mountainside to the main house. Trudging 850 ft. to access email is hardly anyone’s idea of a good time, especially if the weather is less than friendly.
Thanks to the 860’s high speed accuracy, Brian also can monitor the cabin security remotely from his primary residence in Florida. Since the 860 transmits up to 100Mbps full duplex, the unit provides the live streaming data required by the wireless security camera set up on the property. This camera is connected to a router, which is plugged into the nearby 860 unit. Should the system detect motion outside the cabin, it sends Brian an email alert. The 860 has provided a comfort level that wasn’t possible before.
According to Brian, the 860 system has met his every expectation since its July, 2010 installation. “I’m very satisfied,” he enthused, citing both the product performance and its affordable pricing. When the elimination of additional DSL service is factored in, the cost savings are enormous. “It will pay for itself in ten months,” assured Brian.
