The Bonnington Hotel & Residences JLT upgraded its wireless network to deliver a seamless Wi-Fi connectivity experience to all business and leisure guests across its hotel rooms and public areas

作为领先的5星级酒店，Bonnington使用Aruba的Wi-Fi Solutions取得了95％的覆盖范围和85％的绩效提高，使客人可以在其场所享受无缝的高速连通性。

尽管Bonnington在Aruba实施之前向客人提供了Wi-Fi，但它不符合客人（尤其是商务旅客）的标准，这是一家五星级酒店的期望。

这家豪华的5星Bonnington Hotel于2008年开业，位于繁华和不断发展的朱美拉湖塔楼社区的中心，以为客人提供无与伦比的服务和真正的热情好客而自豪。

The beautifully designed 40-story hotel features 188 rooms and 20 suites, 272 deluxe serviced hotel apartments, 5 outstanding restaurants and bars and 4 fully equipped conference suites. The hotel also boasts a unique Leisure Deck on the 11th floor complete with infinity pool, state of the art gym, pool side bar and restaurant, Jacuzzi, steam room and sauna as well as a ladies hairdressing salon.

需要提高覆盖范围和无缝连通性

At the heart of the hotel’s wireless connectivity shortcomings was the Wi-Fi infrastructure that pre-dated the opening of the hotel. With a 24mbps leased line, the Bonnington offered guests a 1 mbps free connection or 4 mbps for a nominal fee. However, with the old Wi-Fi infrastructure, guests struggled to get those bandwidths due to the performance drop introduced by the wireless portion of the network. Exacerbating the problem was the fact that coverage was poor and there were quite a few dead spots. This was especially true in the guest rooms as the APs were located in the corridors rather than individually in each guest room.

阿鲁巴Wi-Fi meets modern needs

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。
Mr. Dilhan Devaditiya,Bonnington的IT经理

Faced with increasing customer dissatisfaction with the spotty Wi-Fi and sluggish speeds, it was evident to Mr. Dilhan Devaditiya, IT Manager at the Bonnington, that if the hotel wanted to stay competitive, it was imperative that he addressed the Wi-Fi infrastructure.

Aruba优势 - 经过验证的往绩和卓越服务
Devaditiya先生在整个亚太地区领先的酒店的酒店业经验超过13年，与所有领先的Wi-Fi供应商合作。在他的经验和阿鲁巴在酒店业的悠久记录之间，他坚信阿鲁巴将能够为邦宁顿提供最好的解决方案。
但是，不想做出单方面或仓促的决定，Devaditiya先生寻求一个决策组的买入，其中包括首席执行官，运营总监，财务与采购总监，通用汽车总经理和采购总监。在近四个月的过程中，邀请了四位主要供应商（包括阿鲁巴）进行POC测试并提交建议。

阿鲁巴优于其余的

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。

快速，平稳，非破坏性部署

一旦Bonnington团队同意与Aruba一起前进，Preadence precceed将Aruba Wi-Fi基础设施部署在房间，套房和公共区域的11层楼。部署包括两个Aruba 7210移动控制器of which one was used purely for redundancy; 208阿鲁巴AP-103H Access Points，每个房间/套房一个；和15Aruba AP-205 APSfor the public areas including the lobby, meeting rooms, bars and restaurants. “We were extremely surprised by the ease of deployment. Not only was the new infrastructure up and running in little under three weeks, but the deployment took place during one of the busiest times of the year without any hassle or inconvenience to our guests. This again is testament to the quality of Aruba’s product and service and the professionalism and planning of Precedence,” said Mr. Devaditiya.

直接的好处

尽管Aruba解决方案只有三个月的时间，但Devaditiya先生对结果感到高兴。明显的受益人是客人 - 覆盖范围提高了95％，带宽增长了85％。因此，用户现在可以使用三个SSID之一在酒店的任何地方无缝连接。Bonnington IT团队也正在收获好处 - 一方面阿鲁巴interface非常用户友好，整个员工都可以通过最少的培训来对系统感到满意。其次，集中管理整个网络的能力大大减少了IT资源的压力。
