Hospitality Case Study

FIVE Jumeirah Village Hotel, JVC

Dubai

FIVE Jumeirah Village Dubai stands apart from other high-rise towers with its exceptional rotating design, showcasing innovative architecture that optimizes natural light, promotes energy conservation, and seamlessly merges indoor and outdoor spaces. The tower's cylindrical structure allows each apartment to feature an expansive landscaped garden and a private swimming pool, even at an impressive height of 800 ft. Every apartment incorporates a generous outdoor terrace with a pool, blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. By integrating lush green terraces, the development gains an astounding seven times more green living space compared to the land utilized for construction.

The tower encompasses 247 hotel rooms and suites, along with 221 one and two-bedroom hotel apartments, and 33 four-bedroom hotel apartments, all boasting their own private pools. A parametric design methodology was employed to develop and assess the sky gardens' performance in relation to environmental factors. The breathable architecture allows sunlight to penetrate the core of the 60-story tower, while a vertical micro-climate spanning over half a million square feet of flora helps regulate temperatures naturally.

The Challenge

Regulatory Compliance

As a prestigious hotel in Dubai, compliance with Telecommunication Regulatory Authority standards was imperative. The challenge was to select cabling products that met TRA’s strict requirements while aligning with the hotel's unique needs.

High Bandwidth Demands

Five Jumeirah Village Hotel required a network infrastructure capable of supporting high bandwidth for guest services, IoT devices, and future technologies. Selecting CAT6 UTP cabling that met these demands was critical.

Integration of Smart Systems

The hotel aimed to integrate advanced smart systems for guest services and building management. Ensuring that the selected cabling products could support Power over Ethernet (PoE) for these systems was essential.

Network Reliability

A luxury hotel like Five Jumeirah Village demanded a network that was highly reliable. Challenges included minimizing network downtime and ensuring redundancy for critical areas.

Future-Proofing

The network infrastructure needed to be future-proof, capable of accommodating evolving technology needs and providing scalability for the hotel's expansion plans.

The Solution

TRA Approved Products

Collaborated with TRA to select CAT6 UTP structured cabling products that met their stringent standards. Ensured that all cabling components, including connectors and patch panels, were TRA approved.

High-Performance CAT6 UTP Cabling

Implemented CAT6 UTP cabling to meet high bandwidth demands. CAT6 UTP supports Gigabit Ethernet and provides the necessary bandwidth for guest services and emerging technologies.

PoE Support

Utilized PoE-capable switches and PoE injectors where needed to support smart systems, such as in-room controls, security cameras, and environmental sensors, while ensuring power efficiency.

Redundancy Planning

Redundancy was incorporated into critical areas of the network, such as server room and key guest service locations. This included redundant backbone cabling to eliminate single points of failure.

Future-Proofing Design

Designed the cabling infrastructure with scalability in mind. Reserved additional space in racks for future cabling expansion and incorporated single mode fiber optic backbones for long-term network growth.

Five Jumeirah Village Hotel successfully addressed the challenges of selecting CAT6 UTP structured cabling products and TRA approved products by adopting a comprehensive approach. By collaborating with TRA, implementing high-performance cabling, supporting PoE for smart systems, and focusing on network reliability and future-proofing, the hotel achieved a robust and compliant network infrastructure. This case study highlights the importance of careful planning and collaboration to meet stringent industry standards while catering to the unique needs of a luxury hotel.
