Hi-speed internet access for Dolphin Complex in Oman

This follows on from the successful installation of wireless HSIA in the 17 individual buildings and 64 apartments of Phase One. Of course the ever popular Dolphin Club, which forms the heart of the Complex, was also fully equipped with wireless HSIA.

In total there will be four phases to the project with the 36 buildings of Phase Three slated for completion at the end of 2009 and Phase Four ready by the end of 2010, all of course with wireless HSIA.

The wireless HSIA allows residents internet access at speeds that are the fastest in the sultanate throughout their homes and the complex itself. The service also allows Dolphin visitors to log on to the internet around the complex.

"The scheme has been a tremendous success," confirms Tajmal Jami, General Manager of Yahya Construction, the company behind the Dolphin Complex.

He added:

"We've always lead the field in quality family living and we see the installation of hi-speed internet access as a natural step in this regard. We like to keep at the forefront of lifestyle developments and always make sure we provide our residents with the best possible services. Nowadays, in a complex like this a full array of telecoms services is expected just about as much as plenty of parking and a well-equipped kitchen. We're coming to a time in the property business where providing wireless HSIA to residents is no longer optional but a lifestyle necessity."

The company responsible for the HSIA project at the Dolphin Complex is Knowledge Oasis Muscat based Infocomm, the first to offer this service in Oman and already responsible for similar projects in luxury locations such as the Bar Al Jissa Shangri La and the Chedi, as well as in other top class hotels around the Gulf region.

The company has also provided HSIA and wireless connections for major industrial projects such as Sohar Industrial Port. "We're delighted to have undertaken the challenge of providing the Dolphin Residential Complex with wireless HSIA. Residents of the Complex have high expectations and it's our job to make sure that as far as telecoms are concerned these expectations are met," remarks Infocomm GM, Rafid Mukadam.

Nitin Awasthi, Infocomm HSAI Consultant and the person responsible for the planning and execution of the project is satisfied with the project and adds: "From our point of view, the most important thing was to make sure the residents had a secure connection using the latest in wireless secure technology. Yahya Construction were very clear that the entire system should be one that fully meets international standards and it has been our pleasure to fully meet this requirement."

Awasthi goes on to say:

"A key factor in a project of this kind is to provide a complete solution to our client's requirements. With this in mind the Infocomm team will provide full back up support for all residents."
