Yas Mall in Abu Dhabi has deployed a fully integrated wireless networking solution from Aruba including Access Points (APs), mobility controllers, guest management and reporting and monitoring tools to provide visitors secure, seamless, high-speed, wireless internet connectivity across 2.5 million square feet of the mall. The implementation that was carried out by MDS Systems Integration, a UAE-based system integration partner of Aruba, has set up a platform for future deployment of new mobile engagement solutions.
“Yas Mall is proud to welcome thousands of visitors every day and so consequentially it’s crucial that our bandwidth capacity can tender to all of the guests without disruptions. Through our advanced wireless services, Yas Mall delivers to its customers the ability to maintain seamless communications and share their experiences with their friends and family, and they can remain connected at all times,” said Feras Al Atari, IT Manager, Yas Mall.
To support the high-density of simultaneous connections, Aruba’s ultra-fast 220-series 802.11ac APs were selected. For the mall, a standout feature of these APs was the in-built ClientMatch technology that automatically shifts client devices to the best AP, giving users a consistently high quality of coverage as they roam through the expanse of the property.
