I found some regulations that talk about needing to identify the
transponder location in the hotel. Our state code I don't think
addresses how accurate it needs to be. We're not providing the system,
but the hotel owner came to us saying that the guy who is selling him
the system wanted to add 90 WIFI devices in the hotel. So that leads us
to the 1 per room idea. The actual system integrator is supposed to be
calling us. I'm thinking we'll probably give him his own SSID/Vlan for
his devices.

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?
