Hotels in the UAE and GCC need fast guest Wi-Fi, reliable room phones, full CCTV coverage and a network that is easy to support. Navas supplies Navijin solutions to hospitality projects across the region. This reference design shows how a typical 100-room hotel can be built with one brand, one supplier and one support contact.
This is a reference design based on typical hotel requirements. Every property is different, so we always confirm the design with a site survey.
The Challenges Hotels Face
- Guest complaints about Wi-Fi drop-outs when moving between rooms, lobby and pool
- Old analogue room phones that are expensive to replace and re-cable
- CCTV gaps in car parks, entrances and back-of-house areas
- Multiple vendors for network, Wi-Fi, CCTV and voice, which makes support slow

| Core and floor switching | GE6010-24P4S4C-L2 (24-port PoE+, fibre uplinks) per floor; SG3801-16S8C4T fibre core | 5 to 6 floor switches + 1 core |
| Guest-room Wi-Fi | NW-AP623M wall-plate Wi-Fi APs | 1 per room (100) |

| Reception and operator | VIP-T84N + NDS32 console + HD1 headsets | 2 to 4 positions |

How It Works
- Separate VLANs for guests, staff, CCTV, voice and IoT keep traffic isolated and secure.
- 802.11k/v/r roaming keeps guests connected from room to lobby to pool.
- PoE+ on every port powers APs, cameras and phones from the floor switch, so no local adapters are needed.
- FXS gateways let you keep existing analogue room phones while moving the hotel to a modern IP-PBX. This avoids costly re-cabling.
- H.265 recording on the 36-channel NVR keeps weeks of footage on the same disks.
Benefits for the Hotel
- Better guest reviews: strong Wi-Fi in every room and at the pool
- Lower project cost than premium brands, with no licence subscriptions
- One supplier and one support contact for network, Wi-Fi, CCTV and voice
- Phased upgrades: start with Wi-Fi and switching, then add IP phones later
