The Challenge
The massive size and scale of the properties throws up considerable challenges when it comes to ensuring security and enabling smooth operations across the huge site. A reliable communications network is essential to efficiently coordinate the many types of activity across the Hotel, Water park, monorail & beach areas.
Atlantis the Palm at Dubai have already deployed a private Tetra communications network, which has been in use for some years. The hotel includes water park, aquarium, beach restaurants, which need different types of communication solutions. And also the interconnection is difficult since there are many communication standards over dedicated networks.

DMR System:
The water park has its own separate radio communication system called Digital Mobile Radio (DMR).
This was installed, rugged and waterproof radios since lifeguards were constantly dropping their radios into the pools and rivers around the park resulting in a large expense being incurred to replace them. This digital System is supported by one repeater and one antenna in the water park and the same combination in dolphin bay. Dolphin bay is a separate part of the water park dedicated to dolphins.
Although this is a DMR system as opposed to the Tetra system in the hotel, the same brand of hand radio is used. However, the model is different from that used in the Hotel, as the PD605 used in the Water Park is very rugged and much efficient communication solution. Hytera manufacture a specific brand of radio supported by the Tetra system (Atlantis The Palm) and a different model of radio supported by the DMR System.
