Thompson said the rooms need flexible functionality for different users.

"A permanent resident may move out and put the room into the hotel [for rent], so we can transform this with the billing application, [because] we aren't signing end users to contracts," he said. "There is also credit card and property management system integration, which integrates with the hotel billing system."

For now, there are up to 10 wireless access points servicing the observation deck, foyer and lobby.

The network can scale to 10M or even gigabit to the rooms if required.
