The absence of existing infrastructure highlighted the imperative for a customized solution, prompting the implementation of a comprehensive network setup. This aimed to cater to the diverse connectivity needs of both guests and staff, ensuring seamless communication and internet access throughout the expansive premises.

Architecture
Rollout Technologies strategically enhanced the Canadian Athletic Club’s Wi-Fi connectivity by implementing a comprehensive architectural plan. Key components, including server rack installation, cable management, POE switch deployment, and Wi-Fi access point placement, were meticulously chosen.
Technical intricacies involved network cable installation, termination in a patch panel, and the configuration of separate networks for guests and staff. This decision-making process was guided by a thorough understanding of the facility’s layout and usage patterns, ensuring a tailored and effective Wi-Fi solution.
Server Rack Installation
The installation of a server rack provided a centralized structure for networking equipment. This streamlined cable management, facilitating efficient maintenance and scalability for future network expansions. The organized setup allowed for easy access, minimizing downtime during maintenance or upgrades.
Network Cable Installation
The network cables were specifically routed on two floors, connecting to patch panels. From there, they extended to WiFi access points strategically placed to provide wireless connectivity throughout the entire area. This approach ensured efficient coverage, catering to the architectural layout and delivering seamless Wi-Fi access across the designated spaces.
Four Wi-Fi Access Points
Strategically placing four Wi-Fi access points across the premises ensured optimal coverage. This approach addressed the unique challenges posed by the two-floor facility, including the hockey arena. Each access point was strategically located to eliminate dead zones, providing consistent and reliable connectivity to users throughout the expansive space.
Separate Wi-Fi Networks
Configuring separate Wi-Fi networks for guests and staff added an extra layer of security and convenience. Guests could access a dedicated network tailored for their needs, while staff members had a secure, password-protected network. This segregation ensures data security and privacy, aligning with the diverse user requirements of the Canadian Athletic Club.
Rollout Technologies’ architectural decisions were driven by a blend of technical expertise and a deep understanding of the Canadian Athletic Club’s unique needs. The resulting Wi-Fi solution not only resolved existing challenges but also laid the foundation for a scalable, secure, and user-friendly network infrastructure.
