Exclusivity
at the Rixos Sungate
«Decisive plus points: Swiss quality and the operating
advantages of the R&M solution.»
Süleyman Savaş, Information Systems Manager, Rixos Sungate Resort Turkey
Golden beach. Azure blue sea. Suites with a whirlpool and a view of the sunrise. And all
around it, nature, parks and Mediterranean forests. The ambience in the five-star Rixos
Sungate resort is very definitely appealing. A new, stable data network rounds off the luxury.
The Rixos Sungate embodies a lifestyle. It’s
about more than a vacation on the Gulf of
Antalya. The resort with more than 700 rooms
New LAN with Cat. 6
The Rixos Sungate opted for the classic
Cat. 6 program from R&M as the basis for
the new network infrastructure. Around
1,100 outlets had to be replaced. The
planning also included the installation of
new indoor and outdoor cables, patch
panels and patch cords. Field-mountable
FM45 connectors simplified termination in
many places.
A particular challenge was to replace the
cabling in the guest rooms step by step
while sticking to a tight schedule and, at
the same time, without disturbing ongoing
operations. This is why R&M delivered the
material required just in time and in close
cooperation with the local installation
partner, which also helped ensure the
ambitious schedule could be met.
wants to create a perfect harmony of nature,
sun, sea, mysticism and exclusivity. With
traditional Turkish hospitality on top.
In the extensive 250,000 square meter
complex, guests recharge their batteries in
well-tended parks and villas with gardens.
On patios and balconies, they can enjoy the
warmth of the Mediterranean sun. A refreshing
breeze blows from the nearby forests and
the Taurus Mountains.
This exclusivity continues in the suites, villas
and other hotel offerings. Be it an exclusive
restaurant, pools, entertainment, beauty and
fitness areas or a spa in feng shui style.
WLAN throughout
This sophisticated environment requires
robust infrastructures that run smoothly.
And that also applies to the LAN. It ranges
from Internet access, IT and telephony to
network connections in service spaces and
guest rooms. Several hundred access points
are integrated for full WLAN supply.
Compelling quality
Suleyman Tokmak, Managing Director R&M
Turkey, and Technical Manager Ibrahim Kargi
had convinced the management of the R&M
solution. The Swiss quality and the ease of operation
for users were two of the decisive plus
points, explains Süleyman Savaş, Information
Systems Manager at the resort.
The hotel management felt it was essential
to integrate a particularly durable and
maintenance-free infrastructure, something
which certainly eases the cost situation. And
R&M’s office cabling program fulfills these
requirements, too.

In the future, the LAN is to meet higher technical
requirements of the administration and
the increasing desires of the guests in terms
of convenience. This is why the hotel started
modernizing the network infrastructure in February
2020. And they found just what they were
looking for in R&M’s office cabling program.
