Exclusivity at the Rixos Sungate
Golden beach. Azure blue sea. Suites with a whirlpool and a view of the sunrise. And all around it, nature, parks and Mediterranean forests. The ambiance in the five-star Rixos Sungate resort is very definitely appealing. A new, stable data network rounds off the luxury.
The Rixos Sungate embodies a lifestyle. It’s about more than a vacation on the Gulf of Antalya. The resort with more than 700 rooms wants to create a perfect harmony of nature, sun, sea, mysticism, and exclusivity. With traditional Turkish hospitality on top.
In the extensive 250,000 square meter complex, guests recharge their batteries in well-tended parks and villas with gardens. On patios and balconies, they can enjoy the warmth of the Mediterranean sun. A refreshing breeze blows from the nearby forests and the Taurus Mountains.
This exclusivity continues in the suites, villas, and other hotel offerings. Be it an exclusive restaurant, pools, entertainment, beauty, and fitness areas, or a spa in feng shui style.
WLAN throughout
This sophisticated environment requires robust infrastructures that run smoothly. And that also applies to the LAN. It ranges from Internet access, IT, and telephony to network connections in service spaces and guest rooms. Several hundred access points are integrated for full WLAN supply.
In the future, the LAN is to meet higher technical requirements of the administration and the increasing desires of the guests in terms of convenience. This is why the hotel started modernizing the network infrastructure in February 2020. And they found just what they were looking for in R&M’s office cabling program.
Compelling quality
Suleyman Tokmak, Managing Director R&M Turkey, and Technical Manager Ibrahim Kargi had convinced the management of the R&M solution. The Swiss quality and the ease of operation for users were two of the decisive plus points, explains Süleyman Savaş, Information Systems Manager at the resort.
The hotel management felt it was essential to integrate a particularly durable and maintenance-free infrastructure, something which certainly eases the cost situation. And R&M’s office cabling program fulfills these requirements, too.
New LAN with Cat. 6
The Rixos Sungate opted for the classic Cat. 6 program from R&M as the basis for the new network infrastructure. Around 1,100 outlets had to be replaced. The planning also included the installation of new indoor and outdoor cables, patch panels, and patch cords. Field-mountable FM45 connectors simplified termination in many places.
A particular challenge was to replace the cabling in the guest rooms step by step while sticking to a tight schedule and, at the same time, without disturbing ongoing operations. This is why R&M delivered the material required just in time and in close cooperation with the local installation partner, which also helped ensure the ambitious schedule could be met.
