Meraki announced their latest access points, which looks to shake things up with a more personalized hotel WiFi experience. The new access points can work with Bluetooth beacons to track a guests' location on the premises, if they don’t mind the hotel tracking their location.

The new MR30H access point from Cisco Meraki will work with small wireless location devices that stores the guests location.

The benefits, as long as guests are willing to opt in, could include things like having an attendant walk up and offer a drink or a towel as you go out to the pool, thanks to your frequent-guest status, said Pablo Estrada, Meraki’s director of marketing.

Because some travelers might be uncomfortable giving a hotel all this information, Meraki says it gives its customers guidelines for making sure guests know what’s involved and can opt out.
