Client Objective

NTI is proud to have been selected to design the comprehensive low-voltage systems for this landmark renovation project. Our scope spanned from the core infrastructure and utility spaces to the specialized technology required for high-traffic public amenities, including the signature Little Palm poolside bar and restaurant. Our detailed designs ensure a guideline for high-performance connectivity and a seamless user experience throughout the entire property.

From initial technology planning to final rollout, we built a secure, high-performance tech ecosystem for the property. We paired scalable structured cabling—ensuring seamless Wi-Fi, voice, and data in all guestrooms and social hubs—with a robust security suite featuring strategic CCTV and smart access controls.

Technology Design
Our team engineered the core infrastructure by drafting detailed drawings and specifications for cabling pathways, equipment rooms, and precise power and HVAC requirements. Every element of the design adhered strictly to globally recognized ANSI, TIA/EIA, and BICSI standards. This property-wide approach established a reliable foundation for all data, security, and wireless systems throughout the renovated hotel.

Cabling System
We implemented a premium backbone of robust copper and fiber optic cabling to support the hotel’s dynamic technological needs. This high-performance network powers critical property-wide data applications and administrative systems while supporting high-bandwidth guest entertainment. The resulting infrastructure delivers seamless coverage and reliable, building-wide wireless access for both guests and staff.

Security & Life Safety
Our detailed specs provided full hardware specifications and elevations for high-definition cameras, monitoring stations, and digital video recorders (DVRs). This meticulous layout achieves full oversight, ensuring continuous monitoring of guest areas and entry points to maintain a safe environment for everyone. To ensure comprehensive protection, we integrated a multi-layered solution with CCTV and smart-card access systems at strategic locations.

Construction Administration
We provided ongoing technical support by responding to all technical RFIs, ensuring the original design intent was fully realized. This diligent oversight helped deliver a future-proof, collaborative hospitality facility prepared to adapt to evolving hospitality and entertainment technology.
