Tags:
switching

Overview Part of the Al Habtoor Group in the United Arab Emirates, Habtoor Hospitality owns four hotels and a catering company in Dubai, two hotels and a theme park in Beirut, and one hotel in the UK. Hotels need to run smoothly, 24x7, so reliability and resilience were the number-one voice and data priorities. It was also important to support the company's growth plans with a scalable and future-proof solution. The new network carries both data and voice in IP format over a single infrastructure, through both traditional wired access and wireless access points across the entire complex. The wireless component enables staff to have instant voice and data access on the move, via mobile telephones.
