The Challenge

THE PESTANA CR7 MARRAKECH is a high-end establishment. For this reason, it must give its customers all the services they can expect to make them feel welcome, comfortable, and taken care of throughout their stay. One of guests’ main requirements is a fast, reliable Internet connection. In today’s connected world, it is essential to give people easy and efficient access to their everyday leisure apps (social media, streaming platforms, and messaging).

The Solution

“THE HOTEL INDUSTRY IS A SECTOR we know particularly well,” says Olivier Hénnion, Managing Director of IT Hospitality Group. “We’ve been working with the main hotel chains on the African continent for many years. We’ve developed the expertise that now enables us to cater precisely to the specific constraints of this market by offering proven, reliable Wi-Fi infrastructure solutions.”

To meet the requirements of the Pestana CR7, IT Hospitality Group’s team selected Wi-Fi solutions from Cambium Networks. “Approximately 130 E430s (wall plate access points) were installed in the rooms and suites, providing WiFi connectivity and IPTV broadcasting. The lobby, corridors, restaurants, and bar are equipped with 40 E410s. The terraces and pool area are covered by E500 outdoor access points,” says Olivier Hénnion.

“Finally, the meeting rooms feature E600 high-density access points. The whole solution is administered using cnMaestro.”
