M-Communications was contracted by third party operator, Quantum Wireless to install the passive portion of a D-RAN solution for all Carrier-commercial RF bands to ensure guests are connected wherever they find themselves enjoying the 5-Star hotel facilities

 Scope of Work

Supported by our flexible working hours, the wireless communication network was upgraded and installed across the hotel with minimal disruptions to guests. Problem-solving skills were required as coaxial cable needed to be installed behind existing crown molding in hotel room passageways due to concrete ceilings. This involved a coordinated effort including hotel management and their approved crown molding contractor.  Our quality-obsession helped to ensure the entire installation met the exacting 5-star hotel standards of perfection.
