Project Description
Main objective of this project is to create a new network design for the
Barranquilla Plaza hotel case study. This hotel is located in the most
exclusive area of Barranquilla,Colombia. But, it has outdated wireless
network and a standalone solution for 80 access points which was plagued
with persistent issues like insufficient capacity, dead zones and dropper
connections while being managed by an inconvenient system. These provide
unsatisfactory online review and adversely affects the hotels rating’s. So, the
management of the hotel was worried by the present physical network
design of the older access points which was inconsistent with the hotel
interior decor. In this project, we have to address these challenges and
improve the wireless experience of the guests and hotel management and
provide them a new solution that should meet the following requirements,
 Aesthetic Design has to be used to provide a visible network
component and it must blend naturally and effortlessly with the hotel
interior decor.
 Reliability which is to create a reliable and stable connections to every
device
 Centralized management which is used for providing the present an
efficient and intuitive network management interface which is used for
allowing the administrators to easily manage and monitor the overall
wireless network.
 Coverage which is used for transmitting the network signal’s which
should be available across the overall facility with no dead zones.
In this project, we shall redesign the network design for Barranquilla Plaza
hotel because existing network design for the hotel wireless access pointsare
having issues we have to provide them an improved remarkablyoverall
experienceto the customers. So, we are redesigning the network design
