The InterContinental Jeddah Hotel has deployed a converged network from Nortel to support advanced IP-based communications such as high-speed internet access, unified messaging and mobility.
The 360-room hotel's new voice and data network uses 64 wireless access points throughout the hotel to provide continuous mobile voice communications even in areas such as the basement, kitchen and garages where traditional cellular solutions often do not reach. The hotel now hopes to offer high-speed internet access in every room and wireless connectivity in its lounges. Personnel can also roam throughout the hotel premises and remain accessible to guests and colleagues through a single mobile device which replaces separate pagers, cordless phones or walkie talkies.
Nortel said that InterContinental Jeddah Hotel will benefit from the integration of a VoWLAN IP telephony solution from Nortel with the IP Nortel Communication Server (CS) 1000. The CS 1000 IP telephony system reportedly supports extensive hotel telephony features and applications such as the Hospitality Messaging Server 400 (HMS 400) for staff and guest messaging, automatic wake up calls and housekeeping room status management.
The data network consists of Nortel Ethernet Routing Switches (ERS) 5520, which deliver Power over Ethernet (PoE) to the Edge. The hotel's guest rooms and suites and other hotel areas are being equipped with colour touch screen Nortel IP phone i2007 that claims to provide a single portal to all guest services information and telephony services and delivers interactive guest services.
