  "account": "In Manila, Philippines, Trends & Technologies Inc. (Trends) and global connectivity technology leader ReadyLinks recently collaborated to introduce their Smart Integrated Resort Solution. The joint event, held on September 10 at Solaire in Paranaque City, showcased a methodology aimed at modernizing network capabilities for integrated resorts (IRs) and hospitality businesses, focusing on connectivity, visibility, management, and operational intelligence without expensive overhauls.\n\nLarry Synstelien, CEO of ReadyLinks, emphasized the goal of achieving stronger connectivity, manageable operations, and future technology serviceability without costly overhauls. He explained that IR organizations often seek these key improvements while ensuring minimal disruption during transformation. According to Trends' Converged Access Infrastructure Group Head Mark Anthony Castillo, reducing disruption is crucial, as organizations could lose up to $15,000 a minute due to downtime, a figure that is even higher for integrated resorts during peak operational windows.\n\nTrends and ReadyLinks' partnership aims to bring stronger network capabilities to IR operators in the Philippines, especially in an environment where connectivity supports various needs, including hotel and guest services, surveillance and security, retail, dining, event spaces, and gaming and facility operations. The joint forum highlights the commitment of both companies to providing innovative solutions that cater to the unique needs of the sector while achieving lower costs.",
