The challenge

What the venue needed

Racketeer Club is a premium padel and social venue in Park Royal, north-west London. Competitive socialising venues place unusual demands on a network: padel court cages, glass and steel create reflection and interference that standard ceiling-mounted access points do not handle, the social and back-of-house zones sit in a large warehouse-style volume, and memberships, bookings and payments run continuously in a building with no existing IT infrastructure.

Our approach

What MicroNet delivered

  1. 01

    Completed a predictive wireless heat map across the full site, issued through successive revisions as the fit-out progressed, and validated coverage again on site after installation.

  2. 02

    Specified directional antennas mounted on the padel court walls rather than relying on omnidirectional ceiling coverage in the court volumes, with tri-band access points across the social, dining and operational areas.

  3. 03

    Supplied and configured core and edge Layer 3 managed 10GbE PoE switching, with VLANs, QoS, SNMP, uplinks and stacking for resilience.

  4. 04

    Deployed a primary and secondary next-generation firewall pair configured for high availability, with PCI-aligned segmentation, VPN, intrusion prevention and content filtering.

  5. 05

    Supplied and installed rack-mount UPS protection with comms room temperature and humidity monitoring, so environmental risk is visible rather than discovered.

  6. 06

    Coordinated POS, CCTV, access control and time and attendance integration, ran end-to-end testing and commissioning, and delivered a documentation pack reviewed jointly with the client before handover.
