Solution: One World Hotel offers five-star accommodations in Malaysia's Klang Valley. When the hotel opened its doors in 2007, the owners envisioned that it would set a new standard for service and luxury. All of the rooms are elegantly decorated with contemporary décor, and the hotel offers numerous convenient amenities for guests to enjoy, including high-speed wireless Internet access.

The hotel's owners, who also own an adjoining shopping center, were searching for a strong and flexible network infrastructure. They needed an infrastructure that would enable the deployment of new applications without rewiring or recabling, which would result in added expenses and disruptions to business operations. They also required a system that would support the implementation of a range of modern services, such as CCTV security, IP telephony, and Internet access.

After conducting a thorough technical evaluation of their options, One World Hotel selected 3Com technologies because of their open architecture designs, interoperable solutions, and intrusion prevention technologies. With the help of TSSB Sdn. Bhd., One World Hotel implemented a secure 3Com wired and wireless network infrastructure to meet their present and future needs.

The decision to deploy 3Com technologies has benefited One World Hotel in several ways. Not only have they eliminated the need to recable the hotel when new services are introduced, but they also have the ability to deploy the best equipment and software on the market since they aren’t committed to a particular vendor. Because the 3Com network infrastructure allows for fast, cost-effective deployment of new services, the hotel has gained a competitive advantage because it can offer guests the most modern and in-demand amenities. The intrusion prevention solutions have blocked viruses and attacks from hackers, while wireless connectivity has allowed guests to stay in touch with family, friends, and even the office during their stay at One World Hotel.
