Wi-Fi AP Planner
Floor area, ceiling height, wall material and client density in — AP count, PoE budget, switch ports and channel-plan advice out. Wi-Fi 6 / 6E / 7 with material-derated coverage and hex-packed cell preview.
Configurators for hospitality
9 toolsSystem Need Finder
Building type, stage and goals in — the disciplines to consider and the documents to share first out. Advisory; not a scope or BOQ.
Consultation Prep Checklist
Assemble the drawings, site information and people to prepare before the first conversation. Copyable; a preparation aid, not a scope.
Architect Brief Builder
For architects, consultants and project teams — assemble a plain-language coordination brief. A draft input, not a statutory submission.
CCTV Readiness Checker
A readiness self-check before a surveillance conversation. No camera counts, no placements, no coverage maps, no compliance pass/fail.
Fire Readiness Checklist
A readiness self-check before a fire alarm, hydrant or extinguisher conversation. No device counts, layouts, zoning or NOC/AHJ pass/fail — design and approvals stay with the fire consultant and the authority.
Boardroom Solution Selector
Pick the room, how it is used and the platforms in play, and see a broad meeting-room direction with what to share. A planning aid — not a final design, model list, quantity or budget.
Smart Home Discovery Wizard
For villa and apartment owners — pick your home, the zones that matter and the experiences you want, and map a coordination scope and room checklist. Not a final design, device count or security layout.
AMC Plan Selector
Four quiz questions about your operation. We recommend Bronze, Silver, Gold or Mission-Critical AMC tier with response targets and PM frequency.
Hotel Technology Planner
Pick the property archetype — boutique, 4-star, 5-star, resort — and the planner maps each space (guest floor, lobby, banquet, F&B, spa, BoH) to systems, AP density, AV grade and lifecycle cost.
References for hospitality
3 toolsNBC Compliance Checker
Building height, type and occupancy in — list of mandatory life-safety and ELV systems out, citing NBC 2016 and the relevant IS codes.
NBC Fire-Safety by State
State or union territory, building height and occupancy in — list of sprinkler, addressable FA, voice-evac PA, wet-riser and Fire-NOC triggers out, with explicit source-status tiering across all 28 Indian states and 8 union territories.
Sprinkler Zoning Planner
Building height, occupancy and hazard class in — recommended sprinkler zone count, riser strategy, valve room count and reference NBC clause out. Brief-stage planning only — not a fire-engineering submission.
03 / Frequently asked
Hospitality — the early conversation.
What systems can TechnoGuru support for a hotel, resort or banquet property?
For a hotel, resort, guest house, serviced apartment or banquet property, TechnoGuru can plan and integrate guest-room automation and mood scenes, IPTV and in-room entertainment, multi-zone background music across lobby, restaurant, spa and corridors, banquet and conference AV with projectors, LED walls and PA, CCTV and access control, guest Wi-Fi and IT networking, EPABX / IP-PBX telephony, fire alarm and fire-hydrant safety systems, boom barriers, digital signage, and UPS backup for the systems that have to stay on — coordinated as one connected estate. BMS integration is added where required, and the property is supported afterwards under an AMC. Exact scope depends on the property, the brief and site conditions.
What's the difference between hotel and home guest-room control?
Hotel guest-room control adds PMS integration, housekeeping mode, language preferences and graceful check-out reversion — none of which exist in residential. Operational priorities. A hotel guest-room control system has to know who is in the room (via PMS integration), what their preferences are (lighting, climate, language), how housekeeping interacts with it (housekeeping mode, do-not-disturb), and how the system gracefully reverts on check-out. None of that exists in residential. We design hotel rooms to that operational discipline.
Does the BMS in a hotel really pay back?
Yes — a hotel BMS typically pays back in 18–24 months through chiller and AHU energy savings alone, with operational benefits beyond that. Typically 18–24 months. A hotel runs HVAC and lighting 24/7 across hundreds of rooms; even a 12% reduction in chiller and AHU energy is substantial. Beyond energy, the BMS catches faults early (a fan-coil drawing 15% extra current) before guests file complaints, which is operationally significant for any property tracking review scores.
Which life-safety systems are mandatory under hospitality codes?
Mandatory hospitality life-safety covers addressable fire alarm, voice-evacuation PA, wet-riser hydrant network, emergency lighting, smoke management and fire NOC compliance under NBC. Addressable fire alarm, voice-evacuation PA, wet-riser hydrant network, emergency lighting, smoke management, and fire NOC compliance — all mandatory under NBC for hotels above defined occupancy and floor counts. We engineer to these as the baseline and document the cause-and-effect matrix that ties them together for the local fire authority.
Can your AV in restaurants, ballrooms and bars handle live performances?
Yes — our hospitality F&B AV is engineered for live performance up to concert SPL with cardioid sub arrays for residential boundary control. Our hospitality F&B AV is engineered for live performance up to concert SPL with cardioid sub arrays for residential boundary control. Ballrooms get configurable PA with line-array and centre-cluster options. Bars and lounges get DJ-booth integration, façade lighting, and acoustic isolation that lets the venue hold its sound NOC.
