Case Study: Mantis Collection achieves consistent high-performance Wi‑Fi and centralized zero‑touch network management across Africa with HPE Aruba Networking

High performance network provides the platform for consistent guest experiences and new digital services

Mantis Collection, a portfolio of 22 eco‑resorts and unique properties across 10 African countries, needed a consistent, high‑performance network that could be installed and managed remotely. With many sites in rural or hard‑to‑reach locations and new integration requirements from Accor, the business sought a low‑cost, pay‑per‑use solution to reduce on‑site support, standardise infrastructure and enable new digital guest services.

Mantis deployed Aruba Central with AP‑515 Wi‑Fi 6 access points and Aruba 2530 switches, using cloud‑native, zero‑touch provisioning and a single pane of glass for management. The rollout delivered consistent connectivity and simplified remote support, cut deployment and maintenance costs, and created a scalable platform to roll out digital guest and operational services across properties.
