Historic Site, Modern Feel

When the Capital Hotel began planning one of the largest and most well publicized renovations in Arkansas construction history, its owners looked to Advanced Cabling Systems for guidance in design and integration of multiple systems, including a new cabling infrastructure, fire alarm system, CCTV system, security system, access control and intercom.

Partnering with Advanced allowed the Capital maintain the history feel of the hotel while further enhancing the service it delivers its guests, who now can enjoy state-of-the-art technology during their stay.

The structured cabling system includes new voice and data cabling throughout the hotel, and connection of multiple distribution rooms with fiber optic cabling. This will allow guests to utilize high-speed connections from anywhere in the hotel. The fire alarm system, which is a fully functional voice evacuation system, consists of multiple panels, on separate floors, all networked to a main fire alarm panel on the ground floor. This system represents the highest quality, code-compliant installation for life safety.

Security for the renovated hotel ensures the safety of each employee and guest, while incorporating the functionality and technology that makes the system scalable and easy to operate. Advanced installed an elaborate CCTV system for maximum protection with more than 60 cameras throughout the facility, including the parking lot and grounds. The system is viewable within the security central command center or remotely via the Internet.

A controlled-access system completed the hotel’s integrated security solution. It allows the hotel’s management team to limit access to certain areas of the property, based on time of day or credentials.

Together, the components of the solution Advanced designed and installed provides the behind-the-scene technology that "connects and protects" the Capital Hotel’s most important asset – its customers.
