Helping Mandarin Oriental connect with people and to a great future
Mandarin Oriental Hotel Pudong, Shanghai
Hotel Network System Upgrade Project
As Mandarin Oriental built and planned their latest project in Pudong Shanghai, one challenge was to ensure we lay down the technological foundations so guests to the 580-plus-room property stay connected, but also providing the platform for future tech-enabled advancement in business operations and customer experience.
At the base of MO’s infrastructure was a connectivity network designed and implemented by HKBN JOS – a one-stop comprehensive solution including Ruckus wireless network, Cisco NEC IPT switch, related software and server management, Dell servers and storage systems with Hyper V installation and management, overall project management covering procurement and installation of all components.
It was a truly team effort – we were building and renovating the property so installing an all-encompassing connectivity network is like changing the tires while driving it, but HKBN JOS brought in their deep experience and the necessary people to manage this end-to-end and delivered on-requirement, on-time and on-budget.
