  "account": "Manila, Philippines — Technology firms Trends & Technologies Inc. (Trends) and global connectivity leader ReadyLinks co-hosted an event on September 10 to showcase their Smart Integrated Resort Solution. The innovative methodology aims to modernize network capabilities for integrated resorts (IRs) and hospitality businesses without costly overhauls. The Smart Integrated Resort Solution concentrates on leveraging existing infrastructure, ensuring long-term scalability, and minimizing disruption during deployment to accommodate expanding connectivity needs. ReadyLinks CEO Larry Synstelien emphasized that the objective is to enhance connectivity, streamline operations, and prepare for future technologies without the need for disruptive changes. Trends' Converged Access Infrastructure Group Head Mark Anthony Castillo highlighted the importance of minimizing disruption during the transformation process, as potential losses can reach $15,000 per minute during peak operational periods. Castillo further noted that the partnership between ReadyLinks and Trends is specifically tailored to address the unique challenges faced by the IR sector, promising cost-effective solutions while delivering advanced network capabilities. The joint forum serves to reinforce Trends and ReadyLinks' dedication to delivering improved network infrastructure for IR operators in the Philippines, recognizing the pivotal role of connectivity in enhancing guest services, security, retail, dining, event management, and gaming experiences.",
