Aethos London Shoreditch has replaced its legacy wired and wireless infrastructure with an AI-native network from HPE, reporting a 90% improvement in operational efficiency and creating a technology blueprint that can be replicated as the hospitality group expands across Europe.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aethos London Shoreditch has overhauled its wired and wireless network infrastructure as part of a wider Digital Transformation designed to improve hotel operations and provide more consistent connectivity for guests and employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 164-room hotel in East London has deployed the HPE Self-Driving Network, replacing its legacy wired and wireless access infrastructure during a remodelling project completed in under two months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aethos said the new infrastructure has delivered a 90% improvement in operational efficiency while providing a scalable network model that can be adopted at future properties as the hospitality group expands its European portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deployment comes as digital services become increasingly important to the operation of hotels, with employees and guests relying on connectivity across a growing number of devices and applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Aethos London Shoreditch, the network supports mobile-enabled tools including digital menus, mobile point-of-sale systems and inventory tracking used by waiting and housekeeping staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building management systems have also been integrated into the environment, bringing areas such as lighting and environmental controls together to improve operational control and support more efficient energy use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAethos operates at a superior level of the market: experience-led, design-driven, built for a new generation of traveller,\u201d said Jake Greenall, General Manager, Aethos London Shoreditch. \u201cTo support that standard, we transitioned to a secure, AI-native network with HPE. The result is a highly reliable and autonomous infrastructure that gives us greater operational visibility, predictability and control, allowing our team to focus less on technology and more on the guest experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HPE Aruba Central sits at the centre of the new environment, providing visibility and management across the hotel’s wired and wireless infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technology uses real-time data, automation and AI-driven insights to help IT teams identify network problems and reduce the amount of manual troubleshooting required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to HPE, issues that previously took hours or days to diagnose can now be identified and resolved within minutes, allowing technology teams to spend more time on strategic work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system also supports returning guests and members across Aethos properties by providing secure connectivity through single sign-on and uninterrupted roaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The infrastructure includes HPE Aruba Networking Access Points in every guest room alongside HPE Networking CX6200 and CX6300 switches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aethos is also using the platform to gain greater visibility into energy consumption and the carbon impact associated with its IT infrastructure, providing additional information that can be used to support more efficient technology operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The network has been built around an Agentic AI-native architecture designed to automate elements of network management and enable the infrastructure to respond to changing conditions with less manual intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Aethos, the London deployment is also intended to provide a repeatable technology foundation as the business grows. The hospitality group is expanding its portfolio through a combination of rapid property conversions and longer-term restoration projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Standardising the underlying network architecture gives the company a model that can be deployed across additional locations while providing centralised visibility and more consistent connectivity for employees and guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHPE is helping Aethos build an AI-native, self-driving network foundation that keeps pace with the demands of modern hospitality,\u201d said Mark Weeks, UK & Ireland Sales Director, Networking, HPE. \u201cBy combining experience-first intelligence, unified infrastructure, and built-in security, we can help Aethos simplify operations, scale efficiently, and deliver a consistently exceptional experience for every guest and every property.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Shoreditch project demonstrates how Aethos is seeking to establish its technology infrastructure as a foundation for both day-to-day hotel operations and its wider international expansion, while reducing the amount of manual network management required from its IT teams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
