Case Study: Cheval Collection achieves 90% faster property deployments and consistent guest Wi‑Fi with HPE Aruba Networking

Cheval Collection raises digital standards as serviced apartment segment takes of

Cheval Collection, a London-based operator of 13 luxury serviced-apartment properties across the UK and UAE (with further expansion planned), needed to deliver a consistent "home-away-from-home" digital experience as demand for extended stays grew. A disjointed approach to network management was hindering operations and guest experience—consistent, reliable Wi‑Fi and the ability to tailor bandwidth per apartment or guest were priorities, along with centralized visibility and tighter security.

Cheval implemented a unified HPE Aruba architecture—CX switches, Wi‑Fi 6 access points, Aruba Central for management and ClearPass for policy—to centrally manage 800+ apartments, use AI-driven insights, and deploy sites with Zero Touch provisioning. The result: deployment times fell by about 90% (from ~30 days to ~3), granular role-based security and improved resilience via hybrid cloud and planned SD‑WAN, enabling faster rollouts and a consistent, secure guest experience.
