About Phoenix Kessaku — Bengaluru's Most Prestigious Address
Phoenix Kessaku is not a residential project — it is a statement. One of Bengaluru's most prestigious and ultra-premium luxury residential addresses, Kessaku sets the benchmark for high-rise living in Karnataka with architectural design, materials, and finishes that belong in a completely different category from standard apartment construction. The name itself — Kessaku — means "masterpiece" in Japanese, and every decision made in the building reflects that philosophy.
When a building of this calibre goes live, the infrastructure behind the walls has to match what's in front of them. Residents paying a premium for a masterpiece don't expect Wi-Fi dead zones in their living room. Property management doesn't expect network outages in the common areas. And the developer doesn't expect to commission a different vendor for each system, then spend years managing the gaps between them.
Layerix Networking Experts was engaged to design and deliver the complete enterprise-grade network infrastructure for Phoenix Kessaku — a TIA-568 compliant Cat6 structured cabling backbone, properly sized 802.3at PoE+ managed switches, 70 TP-Link EAP225 indoor and outdoor WiFi access points, OFC fiber backbone, and a firewall with OTP authentication for secure internet access — all installed, configured, and handed over with full as-built documentation. Enterprise finishing. Because the building deserved it.
The Challenge — Premium Building, No Compromise on Network Quality
Deploying enterprise network infrastructure inside a luxury high-rise under construction — or during fitout — comes with a specific set of challenges that typical office deployments don't face:
- 6,000 metres of structured cabling across multiple floors and buildings: At this scale, an office LAN cabling contractor without proper design-first planning creates a cable mess that costs more to fix later than the original installation. Every run needed to be routed through 1,500m of PVC conduit raceway, properly dressed, and terminated to T568B standard before a single Fluke test was run.
- 70 access points — indoor and outdoor — with correct PoE budget: Under-sizing a PoE switch is the most common enterprise Wi-Fi mistake. With 45 TP-Link EAP225 indoor APs and 25 outdoor APs drawing 802.3at PoE+ power, the switch selection needed exact power budget calculation with 20% headroom — not a guess. The wrong switch means APs failing to power on at peak load.
- Outdoor AP weatherproofing across the building exterior and amenity areas: Outdoor enterprise Wi-Fi access point installation has different mounting, conduit sealing, and cable entry requirements compared to indoor ceiling-mount APs. Both types needed to be deployed from the same Layerix team, on the same schedule.
- Secure internet access for residents — OTP authentication required: A luxury residential building serving premium residents needs more than a shared Wi-Fi password. The OTP firewall authentication system allows up to 100 simultaneous authenticated users, giving property management audit-ready internet access control without compromising resident experience.
- Enterprise finishing — not just functional, but documented: A building like Phoenix Kessaku expects as-built drawings, Fluke DSX CableAnalyzer certification reports, port schedules, and complete documentation at handover. This is what separates a structured cabling company that installs cables from one that builds infrastructure.
Layerix responded with a design-first approach — structured cabling plan drawn before installation began, PoE budget calculated per switch with 20% headroom, heatmap-driven AP placement for both indoor and outdoor zones, and a firewall OTP system sized for the resident capacity. One team. One BOQ. Full accountability.
The Scope — Everything from the First Cable Pull to the Final Fluke Report
Every item in the BOQ — passive cabling, conduit raceway, racks, patch panels, PoE switches, OFC fiber, access points, and firewall — was sourced, installed, configured, and tested by Layerix's in-house certified engineering team. No subcontracting. No coordination gaps.
Cat6 Structured Cabling — CommScope / Honeywell, TIA-568 ↗
6,000 metres of CommScope or Honeywell Cat6 UTP cable installed as the horizontal structured cabling backbone — terminated to T568B standard at both ends, dressed through PVC conduit, and Fluke DSX CableAnalyzer certified. At this volume, structured cabling cost per data point in India is driven entirely by cable route complexity and conduit density — both planned upfront in Layerix's design-first BOQ approach.
PVC Conduit Raceway — 1,500m VIP/Precision ↗
1,500 metres of VIP/Precision PVC conduit with all accessories — bends, tees, junction boxes — installed as the cable pathway infrastructure. Every Cat6 run and outdoor AP cable route protected from day one. NEC/IEC compliant cable tray and raceway routing ensures long-term cable protection in both indoor finished spaces and exposed outdoor zones.
5 × TP-Link SG2428P 24-Port PoE+ Managed Switch — 802.3at ↗
5 × TP-Link SG2428P 24-port 802.3at PoE+ managed switches deployed as the distribution layer — each powering TP-Link EAP225 APs over a single Cat6 drop per AP. PoE budget calculated with Layerix's 20% headroom policy: at 25W per EAP225 AP across 14 APs per switch, the SG2428P's 370W PoE budget handles the load with room for future expansion. VLAN segmentation and QoS configured — resident Wi-Fi, management VLAN, and internet access separated at the switch.
OFC Fiber Backbone — Syrotech Patch Cards ↗
2 × Syrotech OFC patch cards + 2 Syrotech SFP 1G modules installed for the fiber uplink backbone between distribution switches. Fiber provides high-bandwidth, low-latency backhaul between the main IDF and floor distribution points — ensuring the 70-AP wireless network has sufficient uplink capacity at every level of the building.
Firewall with OTP Authentication — 100 Simultaneous Users ↗
1 × Firewall with OTP authentication system deployed for secure internet access management across the property — supporting 100 simultaneous authenticated users. The OTP system gives property management audit-ready internet access control: residents authenticate via one-time password, preventing unauthorised access and giving the building operator a clean log of internet usage events.
70 TP-Link EAP225 Access Points — Indoor + Outdoor ↗
45 × TP-Link EAP225 indoor access points (ceiling-mount, heatmap-placed) + 25 × TP-Link EAP225 outdoor access points (weatherproof-mounted, conduit-sealed cable entry) = 70 APs across the entire Phoenix Kessaku property. Indoor APs cover apartments and common areas; outdoor APs cover amenity zones, podium levels, and building exterior. All 70 APs powered via 802.3at PoE+ from the TP-Link managed switches. Post-deployment walk-test validated coverage zone by zone.
5 × D-Link 6U/9U Wall-Mount Racks + Patch Panels ↗
5 × D-Link 6U or 9U wall-mount network racks with accessories — one per distribution point across the building. 5 × CommScope partially loaded Cat6 patch panels terminated and labelled in each rack, with D-Link horizontal cable managers for clean cable dressing. Patch panels and racks are where structured cabling meets the active network layer — done correctly, they stay serviceable for 15–20 years.
80 × D-Link Cat6 Patch Cords + Cable Management ↗
80 × D-Link Cat6 patch cords for rack-to-switch and panel-to-switch connections throughout all 5 distribution racks. 5 × D-Link cable managers installed for horizontal cable dressing. Insulation tapes, cable ties, and RJ45 clips included — the consumables that separate a clean enterprise installation from a tangled mess.
Three Phases — Structured Cabling First, Active Network Second, Wireless Third
In a large-scale luxury residential deployment, the sequence of work determines the quality of the outcome. Passive cabling infrastructure goes first — because every active device depends on it. PoE switches and fiber go second. Enterprise Wi-Fi access point deployment goes last — so every AP is powered and onboarded onto a fully verified switching layer before the walk-test begins.
6,000 Metres. Every Run Fluke-Certified. Every Port Labelled.
Structured cabling at this scale — 6,000 metres of CommScope or Honeywell Cat6 UTP across multiple floors — isn't just a cabling job. It's a logistics, planning, and documentation exercise. Layerix's design-first approach meant every cable route was planned and drawn before any cable was pulled, every conduit path was confirmed before PVC was cut, and every rack position was decided before the first wall-mount bracket was drilled. The result: a structured cabling infrastructure that is TIA-568 T568B compliant, Fluke DSX CableAnalyzer certified on every run, and documented with as-built drawings and a port schedule at handover.
CommScope / Honeywell Cat6 — 6,000m, T568B, TIA-568 Compliant
Cat6 UTP horizontal cabling pulled to every data outlet point across the property — AP ceiling drops, outdoor AP positions, management office, and distribution racks. Terminated to T568B wiring standard throughout. Cat6 vs Cat6A was evaluated — Cat6 at this scale provides 1 Gbps to every access point with 10GBase-T capability at shorter runs, which is appropriate for a residential Wi-Fi network at this AP density.
1,500m PVC Conduit Raceway — VIP/Precision Brand
1,500 metres of VIP/Precision PVC conduit with bends, tees, and joints installed throughout the building — protecting Cat6 cable runs in finished ceiling spaces, exposed outdoor zones, and riser pathways. NEC/IEC compliant cable tray and raceway routing keeps every cable protected and traceable for the building's entire service life.
5 × D-Link 6U/9U Racks + CommScope Patch Panels
D-Link 6U or 9U wall-mount racks installed at each distribution point — network rack installation planned for clean equipment presentation and future serviceability. CommScope partially loaded Cat6 patch panels terminated in each rack with D-Link horizontal cable managers. Every port labelled at both patch panel and outlet end.
Fluke DSX CableAnalyzer Certification — Every Run
Every Cat6 cable run tested with Fluke DSX CableAnalyzer to TIA-568 specification: insertion loss, NEXT, return loss, and propagation delay per port. Pass/Fail report generated for every run. The Fluke certification report — and the 5-year workmanship warranty — is delivered at handover as part of the as-built documentation package.
Power Budget Calculated. VLANs Configured. Firewall Live. Then the APs Come On.
The active network layer went in only after the passive cabling infrastructure was Fluke-certified and racks were built. The TP-Link SG2428P 24-port 802.3at PoE+ managed switches were racked, uplinked via Syrotech SFP 1G fiber modules, VLAN-segmented, and PoE-verified on every port before a single EAP225 access point was connected. The firewall with OTP authentication was deployed and tested for 100 simultaneous users. This is what prevents APs failing to power on at peak load — and what prevents residents from calling the management office about their Wi-Fi not working.
5 × TP-Link SG2428P — 802.3at PoE+, 370W Budget, 20% Headroom
TP-Link SG2428P 24-port 802.3at PoE+ managed switches with 2 × 1G SFP uplinks per switch. Power budget calculation: EAP225 outdoor APs draw up to 25W (802.3at), indoor APs draw 15-19W. With 20% PoE headroom policy applied, each switch handles its zone load without risk of port power failure at peak concurrent usage. Switches configured with VLAN segmentation, QoS for management priority, and remote access via web GUI.
Syrotech OFC Patch Cards + SFP 1G Modules — Fiber Uplinks
2 × Syrotech OFC fiber patch cards and 2 × Syrotech SFP 1G modules installed for the distribution-to-core fiber backbone. Fiber uplinks between distribution switches and the main IDF provide high-bandwidth, low-latency backhaul — ensuring 70 concurrent APs have sufficient uplink capacity at every floor and amenity level.
Firewall with OTP Authentication — 100 Simultaneous Users
Firewall with OTP authentication system deployed and configured for 100 simultaneous authenticated users. Residents and authorised users authenticate via one-time password for internet access — preventing credential sharing and providing property management with an auditable log of internet sessions. This is the secure internet access infrastructure that a luxury residential building of this scale needs.
VLAN Segmentation & QoS — Resident, Management, Outdoor
VLANs configured across all 5 TP-Link SG2428P switches: resident Wi-Fi VLAN (internet access through OTP firewall), building management VLAN (network admin access), outdoor AP VLAN (amenity zones), and a separate SSID for building operations. QoS policies prioritise management traffic. All VLAN and QoS settings documented in the handover as-built.
45 Indoor. 25 Outdoor. All Survey-Placed. All Walk-Tested.
With the switching layer live and Fluke-verified, Phase 3 deployed 70 TP-Link EAP225 access points across the property — 45 indoor ceiling-mount units and 25 outdoor weatherproof-mounted units. Every AP position came from a heatmap-driven survey — not from guesswork. After all 70 APs were online, a post-deployment walk-test validated signal strength, roaming performance, and SSID coverage zone by zone.
45 × TP-Link EAP225 Indoor — Ceiling-Mount, Heatmap-Placed
TP-Link EAP225 dual-band 802.11ac indoor access points ceiling-mounted across apartment floors and common interior areas. AP positions determined from the heatmap-driven survey — coverage maps generated per floor before mounting positions were fixed. PoE powered from TP-Link SG2428P switches over the Fluke-certified Cat6 structured cabling drops.
25 × TP-Link EAP225 Outdoor — Weatherproof-Mounted
TP-Link EAP225 outdoor access points installed at amenity areas, podium levels, pool zones, and building exterior positions. Outdoor AP installation requires weatherproof conduit sealing at cable entry, correct mounting bracket selection for the surface type, and water-ingress protection at every junction — all executed by the same Layerix in-house team that installed the indoor APs and the cabling.
Post-Deployment Walk-Test — Coverage, Roaming, Throughput
After all 70 APs were powered and joined to the TP-Link EAP cloud management platform, a post-deployment walk-test was conducted across every indoor floor and outdoor amenity zone — signal strength, roaming handoff between APs, and throughput measured. Walk-test results documented and compared against the predictive heatmap design.
As-Built Drawings, Fluke Reports & Full Handover Documentation
Complete documentation package delivered: as-built structured cabling drawings, AP placement floor plan overlay, Fluke DSX test report per cable run (pass/fail), port schedule for all 5 patch panels, switch VLAN/QoS table, firewall OTP admin guide, AP management credentials, and 5-year workmanship warranty on cabling. Enterprise finishing — documentation included.

Why Ultra-Premium Residential Buildings Need Enterprise-Grade Network Infrastructure
A luxury residential building invests heavily in architecture, interior design, and amenities. The network infrastructure is often the last decision made and the first thing residents notice when it doesn't work. Wi-Fi dead zones in a penthouse floor. Slow internet in the gym. An OTP system that takes three attempts to authenticate. None of these are acceptable in a building marketed as a masterpiece.
The Layerix approach for Phoenix Kessaku applied the same design-first, document-everything discipline that enterprise corporate offices expect: TIA-568 compliant structured cabling with Fluke DSX certification on every run, structured PoE switch sizing with 20% headroom so no AP ever fails to power on at peak occupancy, heatmap-driven Wi-Fi survey for both indoor and outdoor TP-Link EAP225 access point placement, and a post-deployment walk-test that validates actual coverage against the predictive design.
For premium residential developers and property managers in Bengaluru planning similar infrastructure, the Cat6 structured cabling services, managed PoE switch infrastructure, and enterprise Wi-Fi deployment Layerix delivered at Phoenix Kessaku are available as a complete turnkey package — or as individual services where you need them.
"Kessaku means masterpiece. The network infrastructure behind the walls has to live up to the architecture in front of them — Fluke-certified, VLAN-segmented, walk-tested, and documented to the last port label."
