GEC NEWS WIREBonnington Hotel & Residences JLT Turns to Aruba Network’s Wireless Infrastructure for Improved Coverage and Higher Bandwidth
Guests will no more lose coverage or find ‘Dead Spots’ at the Bonnington Hotel & Residences JLT, as it has upgraded its wireless network, leveraging Aruba solutions, to deliver seamless high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity to all business and leisure guests across its hotel rooms, suites and public areas.
The deployment has improved wireless internet coverage in the hotel by 95% and boosted performance by 85%, allowing guests to enjoy internet access across the premises with guaranteed speed, reliability and security. Prior to the deployment, the Bonnington’s ageing Wi-Fi infrastructure failed to deliver a service that met guests’ expectations. “While the capabilities of our 24Mbps leased line were at the time sufficient, the drop in performance introduced by the wireless part of our network meant guests rarely experienced the speeds we intended to deliver.” said Mr. Dilhan Devaditiya, IT Manager at the Bonnington..
“Thanks to meticulous planning, the professionalism of our team, and the quality of Aruba’s products and services, we managed to complete the implementation in just under three weeks. Best of all, there was no inconvenience to guests despite the deployment being carried out during one of the busiest times of the year for the hotel,” said Hamid Shaikh, Co-Founder & Chief Technology Officer of Precedence.
Mr. Graeme Kane Hospitality Business Development Manager at Aruba Networks said, “We take the time to understand their technical and business needs before recommending solutions that strike the right balance between technical specifications and costs. Bonnington was no different and I believe we have provided a solution that meets their expectations in terms of performance, ease of deployment, management and aesthetics.”
