A high-end Malibu resort spread across acres of grounds does not run like one business, it runs like several at once: a resort with guest rooms, restaurants, and open-air event spaces that can host three or four weddings on the same night. Infrastructure at that scale is not a wiring closet, it is a campus. Over years of work, Turning Point built and grew the network that the entire property runs on.
A fiber backbone across the grounds
We ran fiber across the property and built the network on a backbone of more than twenty 10GbE switches, so that buildings spread across acres behave like one connected campus rather than isolated pockets. That backbone is what makes everything else, from a point of sale at a far event lawn to a camera at the gate, work as one system.
Built for everything happening at once
On a property hosting several events simultaneously, the infrastructure has to carry all of it without contention:
- Telephony: a phone system with extensions reaching into every guest room across the resort.
- Wi-Fi and network: property-wide wireless and wired coverage spanning the grounds, restaurants, and event spaces.
- Surveillance: CCTV across the public and operational areas of the campus.
- In-room guest services: television service delivered to every room.
- Point of sale: more than thirty POS terminals running Aloha, processing through Global Payments, across the resort’s many service points.
One operator, for years
A property this size could have ended up with a different vendor for every system and no one accountable for the whole. Instead it runs on one integrated environment that Turning Point designed, expanded over years, and supports, with payments and the platform underneath them both backed by 24/7 support.
