Customer
Brookfield Properties
Property
Pendry Manhattan West, a 164-key luxury hotel in New York City
Industry
Hospitality
Solution
SD-LAN with fiber-to-the-edge infrastructure
Network Need
High-bandwidth connectivity for guest-facing and back-office systems
Outcome
Simplified operations with a long-lasting, managed network infrastructure
The Challenge: Hospitality Networks Needed a More Scalable Foundation
Brookfield Properties needed communications infrastructure that could support high bandwidth, mobility across the property, many end-user devices, and the convergence of multiple guest-facing and back-office networks. Traditional copper infrastructure would require upgrade or replacement every 5 to 7 years to keep pace with increasing network demands, creating long-term cost, complexity, and operational concerns.
Bandwidth Demand
The property needed infrastructure that could support high-bandwidth applications across the hotel.
Device Growth
Guest-facing and operational systems required support for many end-user devices.
Network Complexity
Brookfield wanted to converge multiple back-office and guest-facing networks.
Infrastructure Refresh Risk
Traditional copper infrastructure would require regular upgrades or replacement as network demands increased.
