I would guess that you have one per room so you can tell where the panic is
happening.
I would not use wifi for it if I wanted it to work every time. Be better to
be UHF I would think.

Subject: [AFMUG] Hotel Panic Button Regulations
We're in Illinois, and provide Internet/WIFI to a hotel. We're being
told by the hotel owner that there is a new regulation (we don't know if
it's state or federal) that there needs to be a panic button in every room.
The guy selling them the system says that it is all WIFI based. 1
device per room
It is supposedly only for staff use
So they're wanting to add a mess of devices to the WIFI in the hotel.
Not really a big deal, there's more than enough capacity.
But A number of things are not making sense with this:
Why would a Panic button be WIFI based and not 400khz to a local receiver?
If it's only for staff, why is there a need for one in each room and not
just a panic button carried on their person?
I know others on this list service/manage hotels. Have you heard
anything about this?
