Deploying at Hoiana Resort

Tourism | Connectivity

Hoiana Resort is one of the two largest international 5-star luxury casino resort projects in Vietnam. It has 4km of pristine beachfront as well as one of Asia’s best golf courses. Thanks to an investment capital of 4 billion USD, they also boast of a modern casino system. In addition to that, Hoiana also provides many other entertainment facilities. These facilities include healthcare, shopping, cultural exhibitions, handicrafts, amusement parks, yachts, golfing, and much more.

On top of all of that, Hoiana Resort also invested in a mobile internet system for their high-end limousines. This is because these limousines are provided to VIP guests for travel around the Quang Nam area. This includes areas such as within the area of ​​the resort, tourist destinations outside of the resort, and to and from Chu Lai Airport.

Challenge

As a service that affects the satisfaction of guests, the limousine service is also held to high standards. That is why it is important to ensure that the mobile internet system meets the following standards:

  • The solution is highly flexible, easy to develop and to scale up in the future.
  • Ensure access to a stable, high speed connection.
  • Easily meet the needs of a central management mode and supports remote configuration through the Cloud.
  • Devices are reliable and has flexible roaming capabilities.

Solution

Hoiana Resort turned to Genco to provide a solution for their fleet of limousines. Genco chose to deploy MAX Transit Duos with 4 SIM cards to each limousine. This allows for bandwidth bonding which combines network bandwidths together for faster speeds. Meanwhile, the other 2 SIM cards are reserved for hot failover to continue providing internet connection in the event the first 2 SIM cards lose connection. They then deployed a Balance 1350 to the control center for uninterruptible connection. This also created a VPN connection from the control center to all the limousines, allowing them to transmit dash cam footage in real time.

Result

Hoiana is able to provide their VIP guests with fast and reliable Internet as they ride in the limousines thanks to Genco’s solution. Due to this, guests had Internet access at all times. This also allowed Hoiana to provide top quality service around the clock and to keep guests informed of events and specials.

In addition, the solution allows Hoiana to easily change the number of routers on the fly with minimal time and effort. This is due to Peplink’s highly flexible, easy to install equipment and their cloud management software, InControl2.

Thanks to Genco’s team of experts, Hoiana was able to deploy a cost effective solution that was easy to manage and scale. All while meeting the high standards of service and performance that is expected from a 5-star resort.
