At The Myriad, it was crucial to have a solid network foundation and ubiquitous Wi-Fi to offer the very best for our young residents. In addition to their proven technologies that met our needs, we appreciate Alcatel-Lucent’s level of engagement throughout the project, working as a true partner.
Challenges
The Myriad accommodations represent a world class student lifestyle and embody a fresh living experience based on in-depth research and analysis of today’s local and global students’ expectations. The young residents are likely to spend more time on the internet, be it research, homework, social media, streaming videos or gaming. Hence it was imperative for the company to select the advanced technology to match.
Action
For The Myriad properties, it was important to embrace new technologies that accommodate modern living built for a young population in Dubai and Muscat. From a technology perspective, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise was able to offer the properties a cloud-based converged wired-wireless LAN solution that provided the level of connectivity the residents would expect, and at an affordable cost with value. The overall deployment is comprised of over 70 LAN switches and 1900 wireless access points at each property, while The Myriad Dubai also implemented an ALE Unified Communications solution. LAN & WAN Technologies was the implementation partner for The Myriad Dubai, and Telephony Communication Technologies for The Myriad Muscat.
