Seoul,
South Korea – Nokia has completed the first phase of an Optical LAN deployment
for the Jeju Shinhwa World Landing Resort in Jeju, South Korea. The deployment
will support 1,326 hotel rooms and the hotel facility management including in-room
IT services such as IPTV, VoIP, room control and Wi-Fi.
To
provide hotel guests with seamless connectivity and services anywhere in the
hotel, Nokia and its official
Optical LAN partner, Netcurity, are deploying a fiber-based networking
solution that delivers a long-term value proposition. The solution provides a Local
Area Network (LAN) which is more flexible, scalable and secure than a
traditional copper-based LAN technology. Easily and cost-efficiently upgraded
to 10G or 40G speeds using the same infrastructure, the solution provides 200-times
longer coverage from a single central location than copper-based LAN, and
eliminates the need for equipment closets on each floor or at every 100 meters.
It is also capable of supporting all video, voice and data requirements over a
single fiber optic cable, effectively enhancing the security, reliability and scalability
of the network. The high performance of the Nokia Optical LAN brings cost
savings, resiliency and operational simplicity to the leading hotel resort in South
Korea.
The Jeju
Shinhwa World Landing Resort is a massive project currently in development by
the Landing Jeju Development Co., Ltd. Spanning a site area of approximately
2.5 million square meters, the iconic integrated resort will include Jeju
island’s largest family theme park and largest adventure waterpark and one of
South Korea’s largest retail and food and beverage complexes. In terms of
accommodation, the property will boast a range of premium hotels with more than
2,000 rooms and another 1,500 luxury serviced apartments and resort
condominiums. The project is expected to be completed by 2019.
Jong-Rae
Lee, Vice President of Landing Jeju Development Co., Ltd, said, “We needed a cost-efficient, fully
scalable solution that would meet the demands of our growing customer base
today and well into the future. The solution from Nokia has been able to keep
our CAPEX and OPEX in check while being future-ready to support the expansion
of new resorts as well as IT services. The Nokia Optical LAN solution
also contributed greatly to the standardization of resort IT construction practices
and compliance with government regulations.”
Andrew Cope, head of Nokia Korea, said, “Our Optical LAN solution is a
cost-optimized, easy to deploy and scalable solution that helps address
customers’ demands for an efficient, next-gen fiber deployment. The benefits of
unlimited bandwidth, capacity and longevity make the solution an ideal fit for
the customer’s growing communication requirements. This project is important for
us as it marks our first large scale Nokia Optical LAN rollout in South Korea
for the hospitality segment as well as highlights our success in expanding
network business beyond our core operator market – a key element of our growth
strategy.”
Technology used for the deployment:
Nokia’s 7360 Intelligent Services Access Manager (ISAM) FX serves as a high-capacity access node to meet current bandwidth demand
and smoothly evolve to next-generation fiber technologies to meet future
demands.
Nokia’s 7368 Intelligent Service Access Manager (ISAM) Optical Network Terminals (ONTs) deliver superior triple-play services with high bandwidth
capacity to the end users.
