Seamless WiFi Connectivity & Improved Guest Experience

EZELINK partnered with the Landmark Group to improve their guest experience across the CityMax hotels. EZELINK completely refurbished its Wireless network for three of the Citymax hotels at Sharjah, Bur Dubai, and Al Barsha. For the other three hotels, EZELINK provided the Bandwidth Management solution at Business Bay, Al Barsha 2, and Ras Al
Khaimah.

The CityMax Hotel’s warm welcome and family atmosphere have earned them a solid reputation amongst travelers that they stay during a tourist trip or for business. Anxious to continue improving the experience of its customers, the group was keen to replace their existing WiFi services with a scalable solution. EZELINK’s wireless network deployment allowed the guests high-quality connectivity in the number of properties.

From a technical point of view, choosing EZELINK's Managed Services made it possible to implement all tasks in an integrated manner. Everything from one vendor approach completed the integration of each piece of equipment with each other, and this was a guarantee of the system's operability and efficiency.

Challenges

  • The hotels contain heterogeneous scenarios such as guest room area, catering area, leisure area, conference area and the demand for WiFi was also different;
  • The hotels have a complicated flow of guests, various applications seize bandwidth, and the customer’s standard business was not guaranteed, high requirements for WiFi, must be fast, stable and smooth;
  • Need to support seamless roaming, users can automatically switch back and forth when moving around in the service area;
  • WiFi security should not be underestimated, the hotel as a responsible party, WiFi security should not be  compromised;

All technical solutions were implemented, taking into account the design and architectural features
of the CityMax hotels. Our specialist team first designed a theoretical model of the  arrangement of access points, and then only arranged and adjusted the equipment in each room, monitoring the signal level.
