Site Assessment and Requirements Gathering
Our field network engineer performed technical site survey to evaluate the entire property including the indoor and outdoor spaces that require WiFi connectivity. It includes the RV sites, resorts, hotel, offices, recreation areas and common spaces. They identify interferences or physical structures that may block or weaken signals. Assess the capacity or density of the users and devices that will connect, the right access point locations, power availability, existing network infrastructure, cable routes, building materials and physical installation conditions.
The IT network infrastructure must be designed with scalability in mind to support the resort’s current operations and future expansion. The planned infrastructure will accommodate the hotel and additional guest rooms, restaurant, laundromat, new office, deck, stage, pool, swim-up bar, additional RV sites, and the property across the street designated for future business expansion. Based on the site survey and a detailed analysis of the customer’s requirements, the following scope of work was defined:

Wireless Network Design
Following the site survey, our certified network engineers developed a resilient, enterprise-grade network architecture built around Starlink Performance Gen3 as the primary internet service provider.
A predictive Wi-Fi heatmap was carried out to evaluate the proposed wireless network design and determine optimal WAP placement. The analysis modeled expected RF coverage across the property using multiple WAP locations and Wi-Fi frequency bands, helping identify coverage areas, signal-strength variations and potential gaps before physical installation.

The design utilizes Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) wireless links to efficiently distribute bandwidth across the hotel, office, AirBnB rental house, and RV park. A centralized Main Distribution Frame (MDF) serves as the network core, enabling unified management and reliable connectivity across all connected IDFs and network devices.

After reviewing the proposed network design, the customer approved the installation plan to proceed. Once approved, the required network equipment and installation materials were procured, and the installation schedule was coordinated with our certified WiFi installers in Glendale, AZ.
Starlink and Wireless Network Installation in Glendale, AZ
The Starlink Performance Gen3 dish was professionally installed at the hotel utilizing a custom-engineered pole mount securely anchored to the exterior wall. The installation location was strategically selected based on the results of obstructions test to ensure unobstructed view of the sky.
The Starlink cabling was routed internally through the pole toward the Main Distribution Frame (MDF) room, where an advanced Starlink power supply unit was designated for installation. The cable was terminated to the advanced power supply for reliable power delivery to the starlink dish. All connectivity terminates in the Hotel's MDF, which houses the Starlink advanced power supply, router, switch and UPS for power protection and uptime. The MDF acts as the core network and distribution point for entire property.
From the hotel’s MDF (Main Distribution Frame), a Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) wireless bridge antenna was deployed to serve as the primary wireless backhaul. This backhaul distributes Starlink bandwidth wirelessly to multiple locations across the resort, including the RV park, office and rental properties. By using wireless backhaul links, the design significantly reduced the need for extensive trenching and cabling while maintaining reliable and high-speed connectivity.
Each key location is served by a slave IDF, connected wirelessly back to the master MDF.
🔹RV Park IDFs - Five (5) wireless bridge slave units were strategically deployed across the RV park to receive internet connectivity through the PtMP wireless distribution. Each unit delivers connectivity to multiple outdoor wireless access points (WAPs), ensuring reliable and consistent Wi-Fi coverage throughout the park. All IDFs are powered using PoE injectors and protected by UPS units to maintain stable operation.
🔹Airbnb Rental House IDF - 1 wireless bridge slave for Airbnb rental house for indoor and outdoor guest WiFi. The unit is powered via PoE injectors and protected by a UPS to ensure stable and uninterrupted operation.
🔹Office IDF - One (1) wireless bridge slave unit was installed for office connectivity to support both indoor and outdoor wireless access points. The unit is powered via PoE injectors and protected by a UPS to ensure stable and uninterrupted operation.
Outdoor wireless access points were strategically pole-mounted throughout the RV park to provide broad signal coverage across key locations and common areas. This placement ensures reliable connectivity for guests regardless of RV size or location within the park.
Indoor wireless access points were deployed inside the hotel, office and rental house to deliver strong, stable Wi-Fi coverage within enclosed spaces. All access points are powered using Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing both power and data to be delivered through a single Ethernet cable. This approach simplifies installation, reduces electrical requirements and improves overall system reliability and ease of maintenance.
Post-Installation Testing and Validation
As part of the final installation phase, performance testing and optimization were conducted to validate network reliability and real-world user experience. Starlink speed test was performed onsite and the result confirmed strong Starlink performance, delivering approximately 236 Mbps download, 37.3 Mbps upload, with low latency and minimal jitter. These results demonstrate that the Starlink-powered network, combined with the Point-to-MultiPoint wireless distribution and optimized WiFi access point placement, is capable of supporting high-bandwidth activities such as video streaming, video calls, remote work and guest browsing activities across the resort. Any minor adjustments identified during testing were addressed to ensure consistent performance, stable connectivity and optimal coverage throughout the property.
Note: Starlink may require up to 12 hours to fully optimize its connection. During this initial period, temporary speed fluctuations or brief dropouts may occur. However, once the system stabilizes, it delivers a reliable and high-speed internet connection.
