The Challenge

Luxury Atlanta Hotel needed mobile connectivity that could match the scale of its ambition—a modern network foundation that could support high capacity, withstand surging event traffic and stay future ready for next-gen technologies. Despite its scale and visibility, the property faced several hurdles common to high-profile, luxury builds:

• High design standards and strict aesthetic—network hardware had to disappear into the environment.
• Extensive coverage needs with with mixed spaces that have varying indoor connectivity requirements.
• A fluctuating population, with up to 10,000 peak daily visitors and major event days pushing demand even higher.
• A prior engagement stalled for nearly a year due to unmet carrier funding expectations, leaving the property hesitant but determined to find a transparent, credible partner.
• Complex, multi-party coordination, including alignment with Wireless Carriers and state-level contract requirements.

The property needed a partner capable of balancing aesthetics, performance, Wireless Carrier engagement, and flexible commercial terms—all while designing a solution to meet the needs of a diverse, high-capacity environment.

The Solution

TDC addressed the property holistically and crafted a network design engineered for scale, reliability, and long-term adaptability. Key elements of the solution:

• Indoor Distributed Antenna System (DAS) engineered floor by floor to meet coverage and capacity requirements.
• Hybrid Fiber to the Edge (FTTE) and Coax architecture optimized for both performance and efficient Wireless Carrier integration.
• A sectorized design was created to support major event traffic surges.
• Discreet, design-sensitive antenna placement to comply with luxury interior design standards.
• Flexible commercial model adapted to the property’s occupancy patterns and state-level contract requirements.
• Strong Wireless Carrier collaboration, including incorporating new 5G requirements (C-Band) mid process.
• A transparent partnership mindset, defined by clear commitments, successful execution, an understanding of both ongoing renovations and ground-up requirements, and honest communication around potential risks.

The result: a solution designed not just for today’s demands, but for the massive sporting events already on the horizon.

The Impact

The property now has a scalable, future-ready cellular foundation capable of supporting millions of annual visitors and the next generation of guest experiences. This gave them:

• Reliable connectivity property-wide
• Stronger safety preparedness
• Guaranteed Wireless Carrier participation
• Future ready for guest and loyalty applications
• Preserved aesthetics
• Operational peace of mind
• Reduced risk and no capital surprises
• Clarity and a long-term partnership that restored confidence

For high-profile properties, great indoor connectivity is no longer optional—it’s required. TDC’s thoughtful design, transparent partnership and Carrier-aligned engineering transformed a flagship property into a fully connected, future-ready destination.
