Ultra-Luxury Resort, Zero Tolerance for Failure

Deploying enterprise-grade Wi-Fi across a 20-hectare luxury resort in Marrakech — covering villas, gardens, pool areas, spa, restaurants, and conference facilities — while simultaneously migrating the perimeter firewall from legacy Cisco to Palo Alto, all without disrupting the ultra-luxury guest experience.

RF Site Survey + Parallel Firewall Migration

RF site survey across the full 20-hectare estate informed an access point placement strategy covering all 98 deployment points. Palo Alto firewall migration handled in parallel with VLAN segmentation redesign separating guest, staff, and management traffic. Phased go-live tested in low-occupancy periods.
