Project Overview
Client: Flagship 5-Star Hotel
Locations: Mayfair, London
Sector: Luxury Hospitality
Scope: Guest & Staff Wi-Fi Infrastructure | Cisco Voice Integration | Smart Portal | Managed Services
Core Objective: Resilient, high-speed connectivity and enhanced guest experience
When one of Mayfair’s most iconic hotels set out to upgrade its wireless infrastructure, the challenge went beyond just guest connectivity.
The hotel needed a carrier-grade Wi-Fi network capable of supporting guests, staff, and voice systems, while integrating with its new IP-based Cisco telephony platform.
The existing dual-band Cisco 802.11a/bg network struggled to support the volume of guest devices and emerging real-time applications like Wi-Fi calling and VoIP. Poor handovers, congested 2.4GHz channels, and interference led to degraded performance across critical operations, including housekeeping, concierge, and point-of-sale systems.
The Challange
The hotel needed a complete redesign that would:
- Deliver seamless, high-density coverage across guest suites, service corridors, and public areas.
- Support Wi-Fi calling, video, and voice with low latency and high reliability.
- Provide simple, secure guest access without compromising compliance.
- Offer visibility, analytics, and service management within a unified platform.
With hundreds of mobile devices, Cisco handsets, and guest clients connecting simultaneously, stability and speed had to be uncompromising.
Our Approach
Cyber Ware designed and deployed a Guest Smart Wi-Fi solution built around Ruckus 802.11ac technology, providing adaptive antenna performance and advanced roaming support (802.11k/r/v).
The network design included:
142+ Ruckus R-Series access points (R500–R700)
Delivering superior range, load balancing, and interference mitigation.
High-availability controllers and dual-path routing
for uninterrupted service.
Dedicated VLANs and SSIDs
for guests, Cisco handsets, and hotel operations.
Layer-2 security, VPN passthrough, and corporate device support
For business travellers.
Friendly Wi-Fi compliance
with built-in filtering and lawful interception logging.
Branded captive porta
Offering instant login and optional tiered access.
Full ITIL-aligned service management
including proactive monitoring, help desk, and bi-annual audits.
This architecture not only transformed the guest experience but also provided a foundation for new digital services and insight-driven engagement.
The Outcome
- Seamless roaming across guest suites, public areas, and staff service zones.
- High-quality Wi-Fi calling and voice performance over both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.
- Significant reduction in congestion and interference across high-density areas.
- Unified control and analytics through the Cyberair cloud platform.
- Compliance with UK and EU privacy standards, including GDPR and the Digital Economy Act.
- Proactive guest support and service monitoring, ensuring a consistent five-star experience.
The result is a future-proof wireless platform — one that supports modern hospitality operations, enhances guest satisfaction, and provides the insight to shape smarter service delivery.
