Huawei, Henan Unicom develop smart hotel solution

Huawei has teamed up with China Unicom’s Henan branch Henan Unicom to develop a smart hotel connectivity solution based on all-optical access.

The solution involves the delivery of broadband capability based on a large-capacity converged optical line terminal, fibers routed inside buildings and converged smart gateways.

Each hotel room will be provided exclusive Wi-Fi access, eliminating issues involving poor coverage or congestion. The converged smart gateways will deliver both wired broadband and Wi-Fi access, and hotel users will be provided dedicated IPTV access.

The solution also supports centralized managed operation and maintenance (O&M) to eliminate the requirement for dedicated IT support personnel, and delivers an access rate of 10GE. It can support control of lights, home appliances, and curtains using external intelligent devices.

“Huawei’s all-optical access smart hotel solution has obvious advantages in terms of deployment, service experience, and uniform O&M,” Henan Unicom Zhao Songhui said.

“This solution enables Henan Unicom to accelerate hotel informatization effectively, and has earned high recognition from both hotels and their guests. In the future, we plan to spread this solution to more hotels and provide users with more intelligent services.”
