Hotel Solar Palmeiras: enterprise Wi-Fi from guest room to pool, on CAT6 cabling

In a hotel, Wi-Fi is part of the stay. Hotel Solar Palmeiras wanted full coverage, high performance and a stable connection in every indoor and outdoor area, with capacity for many devices at once and fast, secure browsing for guests and staff.

• Gigabit CAT6 structured cabling With network outlets for each access point.
• Dedicated power outlets For the wireless system.
• Cable trunking For tidy cable runs.
• Rack Connection and organisation in the client's new premises.

During the works, the team came across structural challenges in the building and proposed technical solutions to get around them, so as to ensure the best possible coverage throughout the property.

Indoors

Thirteen indoor access points, mounted and configured to cover rooms, corridors and common areas, with optimised coverage and speed.

Outdoors

Dedicated outdoor wireless antennas for the gardens, common areas and pool, where guests also expect to be connected.

Management and security

• Captive portal With automatic redirection to the hotel's website.
• Separate networks One dedicated to guests and another to staff.
• Centralised cloud management Continuous monitoring, real-time diagnostics, remote adjustments and greater security and stability.

It is a robust, easily scalable architecture, designed for the high and variable flow of users in a hotel.
