Cabling

It could be argued that this is the area where hoteliers have not been mindful of the impact of technological change,1308,Cat 5,coax,Fiber and in some hotels Cat 6 cable networks now exist side by side. There are no cheap low-cost solutions when it comes to the basic infrastructure of your hotel.

Changes in Franchise Standards, demands to supply the latest Wi-Fi, video, guest Internet and other services all place a lot of pressure upon the hotel owners or managers as they try to remain competitive.

This is where the past hotel project experience and detailed knowledge of many hotel properties in the U.K. and Ireland enables HTM to offer a unique common sense approach to meeting your needs. It is believed that hoteliers want a cabling network which can:

Provide flexibility, including Fiber cabling where possible to enable the hotel to construct, in minutes, impromptu networks that can handle voice, data, video and other media at any desired speed.
Address changes in guest use whilst generating economies for the hotel through integrated networks, reduced space or improved work processes.
Ensure network infrastructure longevity as hotel guest bandwidth demands increase to 100 megabits, or for an additional gigabit and eventually even 10-gigabit transmission speeds.
Overcome distance issues at some hotels without having to recable in the future, from a meeting room 300m away to a floor riser on the 25th floor.
Satisfy the future changes in hotel Internet reservations, web based bookings, internal administration and mobile working.

HTM will work with you and your management team to discuss the implications of your current network capabilities and issues, the use of copper, Cat5e, Cat6 and Fiber networks and your future needs.This is then encapsulated into an agreed structured cabling plan.The plan may call for a complete replacement of your cabling network, it may just require HTM to fix current issues and work to an agreed support contract, working in stages because of the scale of the work involved.

Satisfied cabling project outcomes have included:

An improvement of voice quality calls after a new Fiber run was installed in a lift shaft
Mapping out and updating the patch panels in the communications room to reduce support calls.
Improving staff working practices by developing new colour coded conference and banqueting patch panel system and enable them to sell incremental services.
