Infrastructure overhaul at the heart of customer experience challenges
Novotel Paris les Halles opted for a complete overhaul of its technological infrastructure. The project includes the installation of 348 latest-generation WiFi access points, guaranteeing optimal coverage in all areas of the hotel. At the same time, 265 Apple TVs have been integrated to deliver a premium, intuitive viewing experience.
A key aspect of this project was the installation of new WiFi access points. This state-of-the-art equipment was strategically placed to ensure homogeneous, stable coverage in all guest rooms, common areas and work zones. The new WiFi infrastructure enables guests to benefit from a fast and reliable connection, essential for both business and leisure travelers.
