Bonnington Hotel＆Residences JLT升级了无线网络，为所有酒店房间和公共区域的所有企业和休闲客人提供无缝的Wi-Fi连接体验

As a leading 5-star hotel, the Bonnington used Aruba’s Wi-Fi solutions to achieve 95% improvement in coverage and 85% improvement in performance allowing guests to enjoy seamless high speed connectivity across its premises.

Although the Bonnington provided Wi-Fi to its guests prior to the Aruba implementation, it did not meet the standards that guests – and particularly business travelers–had come to expect from a 5-star hotel.

Opened in 2008 and located in the heart of the bustling and ever growing Jumeirah Lakes Towers community, the luxurious 5 star Bonnington Hotel prides itself on providing guests with unparalleled service and genuine hospitality.

设计精美的40层酒店设有188间客房和20个套房，272套豪华服务式酒店公寓，5家出色的餐厅和酒吧以及4个设备齐全的会议套房。该酒店还在11楼拥有独特的休闲甲板，配备了无边游泳池，最先进的体育馆，泳池侧酒吧和餐厅，按摩浴缸，蒸汽浴室和桑拿浴室以及女士美发沙龙。

Need for improved coverage and seamless connectivity

酒店无线连接缺点的核心是预先开放酒店的Wi-Fi基础设施。邦宁顿（Bonnington）拥有24Mbps租赁的生产线，为客人提供了1 Mbps的免费连接或4 Mbps的名义费用。但是，借助旧的Wi-Fi基础架构，由于网络无线部分引入的性能下降，客人努力获得这些带宽。加剧了这个问题的事实是，覆盖范围很差，而且有很多死亡的地方。当APS位于走廊中，而不是在每个客房中单独使用，在客房中尤其如此。

Aruba Wi-Fi满足现代需求

Precedence were very professional and thorough during the testing phase but what surprised me the most was the direct involvement of Aruba employees. They met with us on several occasions, reviewed all configuration options and suggested solutions that allowed us to meet all our technical requirements without exceeding our budget.
Dilhan Devaditiya先生，IT Manager at the Bonnington

面对越来越多的客户对斑点Wi-Fi和慢速速度的不满意，对于Bonnington的IT经理Dilhan Devaditiya先生来说，如果酒店想保持竞争力，则很明显，他必须在Wi-Fi Infrrastructure上处理竞争力。

The Aruba Advantage – Proven Track Record and Exceptional Service
With over 13 years of experience in the hospitality sector at leading hotels all across the APAC region, Mr. Devaditiya had worked with just about all the leading Wi-Fi vendors. Between his experiences, and Aruba’s proven track record in the hospitality sector, he was convinced that Aruba would be able to offer the Bonnington the best solution.
However, not wanting to take a unilateral or hasty decision, Mr Devaditiya sought buy-in from a decision making group that included the CEO, Director of Operations, Group Director of Finance & Procurement, GM and Director of Purchasing. In a process that took close to four months, four leading vendors (including Aruba) were invited to conduct POC testing and submit proposals.

Aruba Outperforms the Rest

尽管Aruba解决方案确实胜过竞争，但与Aruba的决定归结为两个关键标准。首先，与其他供应商不同，Aruba及其合作伙伴Precesdence Technologies LLC在咨询阶段与Bonnington团队非常紧密地合作。“在测试阶段，优先级非常专业和彻底，但是令我惊讶的是阿鲁巴员工的直接参与。他们几次与我们会面，审查了所有配置选项，并建议我们满足所有技术要求而无需超过预算。”Devaditiya先生说。其次，紧凑和美学的设计在房间里很好地融合在一起 - 这对于5星酒店很重要。

Fast, Smooth, Non-disruptive Deployment

Once the Bonnington team had agreed on moving forward with Aruba, Precedence deployed the Aruba Wi-Fi infrastructure across 11 floors of rooms, suites and public areas. The deployment included twoAruba 7210 Mobility Controllers其中一个纯粹用于冗余；208Aruba AP-103H访问点, one for each room/suite; and 15Aruba AP-205 APs对于包括大厅，会议室，酒吧和餐馆在内的公共区域。“我们对易于部署感到非常惊讶。新的基础设施不仅在不到三周的时间内启动并运行，而且部署是在一年中最繁忙的时间之一进行的，没有给我们的客人带来任何麻烦或不便。这再次证明了Aruba的产品和服务的质量以及优先级的专业精神和计划。” Devaditiya先生说。

Immediate benefits

Although the Aruba solution has only been in place for three months, Mr. Devaditiya couldn’t be happier with the results. The obvious beneficiaries have been the guests – coverage has improved by 95% and bandwidth by 85%. As a result users can now seamlessly connect anywhere in the hotel using one of three SSIDs. The Bonnington IT team is also reaping the benefits – for one, theAruba接口is extremely user friendly and the entire staff was able to get comfortable with the system with minimal training. Secondly, the ability to centrally manage the entire network has significantly reduced the strain on IT resources.
