Desert Islands Resort & Spa by Anantara, part of the Minor Hotel Group and regarded as one of the luxurious Abu Dhabi resorts, has upgraded its wireless network with Aruba Networks’ 802.11ac Wi-Fi across its property. The new network has enabled the hotel to provide gigabit Wi-Fi connectivity to guests and allowed staff to utilize a host of business-critical applications with greater ease.
According to Harikumar Nair, Director Information Technology at Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas, Abu Dhabi. “Besides catering to the high-speed connectivity demands of its guests, Desert Islands also needed a robust Wi-Fi network that could support back-end systems and the bandwidth-hungry applications that were being used by the operations team to do their jobs more efficiently.”

By installing the latest wireless network technologies from Aruba Networks, Anantara has demonstrated its leadership in providing an exceptional mobile experience for its guests and employees.”

Aruba offers plenty of opportunities to grow this solution with the evolving needs of our guests and staff in order to ensure that we continue to deliver the excellent quality of service that our brand is renowned for,” concluded Mr. Nair.
