4 07 COMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE On any project the communications infrastructure provides the critical backbone on which all other services run. mdg understand that a robust, resilient and high capacity communications cabling infrastructure is a value for money investment that will provide reliable operation and, as technology trends develop, the ability to add systems and services in the future. According to a recent study, global IP traffic has increased eightfold over the past 5 years overall, and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21 percent from 2013 to With an expected lifetime of fifteen to twenty years, the design of the cabling infrastructure must be planned to accommodate significant leaps in bandwidth and network traffic over the life of the hotel. With the ratification of OM4 fibre and its capacity to deliver Gb/s over multimode and the capability of Category 6A able to deliver 10GBASET copper to the desk there is an unprecedented opportunity to future proof the cabling infrastructure and protect investments in cable plant. Communications cabling is no longer limited to the LAN and the growing interdependence of building system technologies and applications requires the integration of many traditionally separate and proprietary cabling systems. An efficient and flexible structured cabling plant design provides a scalable foundation enabling convergence of a building s systems into a common IP network environment. mdg deliver end-to-end design engineering for complete, TIA and BICSI compliant, fibre and copper design solutions for structured communications cabling covering every aspect of the technical installation including ISP building entrance facilities, telecommunication equipment rooms, power, cable pathways and cooling requirements. mdg understand the importance of planning server room and data centre, floor telecom and other critical technical spaces at the earliest stage of the architectural design phase and understand the requirement to coordinate mains power, UPS, cooling and containment route provisions with the architectural and MEP construction design teams.

5 09 VOICE & DATA NETWORKING International hotel operator s worldwide face the challenge of how to deliver standards compliant network models in properties that span countries, continents and cultures, ensure consistent branding and a unified customer experience whilst maintaining standard service agreement models. mdg understand this challenge and respond with complete and consistent high availability LAN/WLAN/WAN open architecture network designs that mirror brand standards and incorporate the logical and physical data security measures that operators need to ensure brand standard and PCI DSS compliance. The data network is now an integral part of how an operator connects with his guests and delivers the customer experience. The value that mdg bring to a project is not only our technical expertise in all aspects of network and data centre design but also our in depth knowledge of the operators operational and business requirements. The proliferation of wireless devices and smartphones and the exponential growth in the use of web based content providers such as Netflix, Youtube,Vimeo and Hulu is putting increasing demands on the guest LAN/WLAN infrastructure which means that legacy a/b/g wireless networks designed for an era of occasional access and casual hotspots can t keep pace. Armed with laptops, notebooks, smartphones, and now tablet PCs, today s information professionals are inherently mobile and always on. Today s business traveler depends on wireless LANs to efficiently conduct business from any place, at any time, and demand predictable experiences and reliable connectivity. The advent new generation ac APs delivering near Gigabit Ethernet client access and the use of multiple antenna systems reduces dead spots and provides greater range and coverage. mdg is at the forefront of networking trends, with technologies and designs that help use the network for faster innovation and enhanced business value. The company is vendor neutral and concentrates on providing best of breed solutions.

6 11 AUDIO VISUAL & MULTIMEDIA Today s media savvy customers require high quality and simple to use audio visual facilities that deliver high definition, high resolution video and data display coupled with high fidelity audio. mdg understand that ease of use and seamless connectivity is key to a successful meeting and conference facility along with intuitive control systems that require the minimum of technical assistance from the operator. Contemporary audio visual systems are increasingly IP enabled and this provides the opportunity to converge these systems onto the building network, leveraging the available network management and diagnostic tools to provide enhanced help desk functionality, property-wide scheduling, diagnostics and monitoring as well as data logging for reporting and billing. As we approach the analogue sunset, legacy signal types including VGA are being replaced with ultra-high definition 4K sources and displays and conventional wired connection panels are being replaced with completely wireless WiFi and Wifi Direct based connections that provide seamless connectivity and complete flexibility. In public areas the lowering cost of high resolution displays is creating opportunities for unique media mapping techniques that merge audio visual, interior and lighting design disciplines to create the wow effect. In the guest room, BYOD connectivity for mobile video and audio devices along with UHD televisions and access to high performance IPTV services defines the guest entertainment experience whilst in food and beverage outlets high fidelity audio creates mood and reinforces the restaurant ambience. mdg provides complete audio visual design solutions for guest rooms, meeting and conference rooms, ballrooms, banqueting facilities and telepresence rooms. For larger scale projects that include auditoria, theatres and larger scale convention facilities mdg provide more complex and extensive solutions that include acoustic modelling for high performance audio systems, sophisticated digital multimedia networks and video solutions for outside broadcast.

7 13 BUILDING SECURITY Against a constantly changing international landscape the requirement to provide safety and security for the guest and provide protection of the owner s property and assets remains paramount. Serving tourism, the business traveler and the local business community, hospitality developments have unique security needs and a requirement to balance overt security with diplomacy and discretion. mdg understands these issues and provides complete design solutions for personnel, asset and building security measures that include CCTV, access control, intrusion detection, perimeter protection and asset management systems. Each project type requires analysis to identify specific levels of risk and threat based on its location and positioning and a methodical design process in order to alleviate the security issues particular to the property. In certain situations blast and over pressure analysis is provided to determine the security and structural integrity of a building in a worst case scenario. mdg security design solutions include high resolution closed circuit video surveillance coupled with digital video recording and sophisticated analytical software options. As the use of megapixel and HD cameras becomes an increasingly critical component of security installations an integrated network video management system provides the ability to view high-quality, full-frame-rate video over the data network and provides greater control, enhanced operational flexibility, improved administration, and expanded recording, archiving, and integration capabilities. RFID based access control systems have replaced legacy magstripe and other contact based readers. Wireless systems provide the added benefit of two way communication between the card the lock and the front desk and the ability to send a room key to a guest mobile phone using NFC technology is set to change the concept of the key card. As voice, data and security applications converge onto to the IP backbone, considerable savings can be made by leveraging the existing network infrastructure and the provisioning of a unified network infrastructure that brings with it streamlined system management and operational efficiency.

8 15 GUESTROOM MANAGEMENT mdg has extensive experience in the design of intelligent, integrated guestroom management systems that enhance guest convenience whilst providing energy saving and enhanced room management facilities. Successful guestroom management design requires that systems are simple and intuitive to use and wall plates and panels are seamlessly coordinated with the interior design. mdg design systems to meet the owner and hotel operator s requirements and brand standards while ensuring that the system designs incorporate the necessary flexibility to provide a degree of future proofing. Today s modern guest room management systems are capable of providing much more than simple temperature and lighting control.
