Summit Technology Solutions (STS), a joint venture between Sumitomo and Egyptian Investment & Development, has won a EGP19 million ($2.74 million) to complete an integrated IP network solution project for Kempinski Royal Maxim Palace in New Cairo.

STS had installed a complete integrated IP network via the implementation of cutting-edge solutions, including Cisco switches, routing, security, Wi-Fi access points, VoIP phones, IPTV, IPCCTV, building management systems and fire alarm solutions.

These first-class solutions were installed with the help of STS Technology’s partners, including Cisco Solutions, Locatel Solutions, Samsung and Siemens.
