Background
Eurostars Gran Hotel La Toja is a five-star luxury hotel located on the scenic island of La Toja, in Galicia, Spain. Set amidst outstanding natural surroundings, this prestigious destination offers first-class amenities and an exceptional level of service.
With its refined architecture, elegant interiors, and a wide range of premium services, the hotel has established itself as a benchmark for luxury hospitality. Guests visiting the resort expect not only comfort and exclusivity, but also flawless digital connectivity that matches the hotel’s high standards.
Challenge
The hotel partnered with Data General to design and deploy a next-generation network infrastructure capable of meeting the demanding requirements of a modern luxury hotel. The main challenges included:
Next-Generation WiFi 6 Network
The hotel required a robust and reliable WiFi 6 network capable of supporting heavy data traffic without compromising speed or performance. Guests expect seamless, high-speed internet access for streaming, remote work, video conferencing, and personal devices, making network quality critical to the overall guest experience.
Comprehensive Coverage
Reliable connectivity was required across the entire property, including all guest rooms, public areas such as the lobby and conference rooms, and outdoor spaces including gardens, wellness areas, swimming pools, and banquet halls. Ensuring consistent performance in both indoor and high-density areas was a key challenge.
Minimal Disruption During Installation
Given the hotel’s continuous operation and commitment to guest satisfaction, the deployment had to be carried out efficiently and discreetly, with minimal impact on daily activities and guest comfort.
Gran Hotel La Toja & Data General
The solution
Data General designed a carefully planned, high-performance network solution based on advanced technologies to ensure reliable, scalable, and future-ready connectivity throughout the hotel. The deployment included:
136 DG-AP820-AX3000 WiFi 6 access points installed in guest rooms and common areas, providing extensive and reliable indoor coverage for both guests and staff.
13 high-density DG-AP850-AX6800 access points strategically deployed in high-traffic areas such as the lobby and conference rooms, ensuring optimal performance even during peak usage.
7 omni-directional DG-AP680-AX3000-O access points and 10 outdoor sector DG-AP680-AX3000-S access points to guarantee seamless coverage across outdoor areas, including gardens, pool areas, and event spaces.
A high-capacity backbone network built with 12 DG-S1930K-24GP4S-370W Gigabit PoE switches, 2 DG-S5310-48GP4X-740W 10Gb PoE switches, and 1 DG-S6120-20XS4VXS2QXS aggregation switch, ensuring efficient traffic management and maximum network reliability.
Seamless Implementation
Thanks to careful planning and close coordination with hotel operations, the entire network was deployed with minimal disruption. Extensive testing was carried out to validate performance and coverage, and the hotel’s IT team received full training to manage and maintain the system effectively.
Results
The implementation of the WiFi 6 network significantly enhanced the digital experience at Eurostars Gran Hotel La Toja, delivering measurable benefits for both guests and staff:
