Hospitality Technology Design
Every flag has its own technology standards, and a design that misses one can stall a brand sign-off or an opening date. Guests now arrive with three or four devices each and expect ballroom-grade Wi-Fi in every room, so networks have to be built for density rather than coverage alone. And most renovations happen while the hotel stays open, which means phasing cabling, Wi-Fi and security work floor by floor without taking rooms or revenue offline.

FAQs
Can you design to our brand's technology standards?
Yes. We design to Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt and other brand standards and work with brand technology teams to get designs approved before construction.
How do you handle renovations while the hotel stays open?
We phase the design so cabling, Wi-Fi and security work can be done floor by floor or wing by wing, keeping rooms sellable and back-of-house systems running through each phase.
When should we bring NTI onto a hotel project?
As early as programming. Getting telecom rooms, pathways and power right in schematic design costs far less than fixing them in construction, and an early technology budget keeps owners from surprises later.
Do you sell or install equipment?
No. NTI is vendor-neutral and doesn’t sell or install equipment. If you’d like one team from design through installation, our parent company, ASD, can handle the bid and build phases.
