Wireless Certification Solutions for serial hotels

I. BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT

In recent years, the focus of competition in the chain hotel sector has shifted from hardware to service competition, with hotels strapping their own sense and level of service. As a highly competitive industry, wireless network coverage has become a tool for labelling and a means of connecting hotel services. The chain of hotels not only allows easy access to the Internet by providing easy-to-use wireless networks, but also promotes the hotel through a wireless certification network and increases its visibility and service level.
But traditional wireless access means, which requires that users know their WiFi passwords or do not require them to access it directly, not only have some security risks, but also have less stability and control over the users of the network, and are not easy to operate. More importantly, a chain of hotels does not establish a virtuous interaction with customers through WiFi, and does not play its part, thereby greatly reducing the impact of the wireless network.

II. NEEDS ANALYSIS

IV. PROGRAMME DEFINITIONS

NATSHEL_BRAND, combining the wide range of wireless certification market needs, introduces NATSHEL_BRAND Portal wireless certification systems and wireless network products such as AC, AP, to maximize the availability of wireless certifications. Through the NATSHEL_BRAND Portal series, users can easily form a wireless certification network that fulfils various WEB authentication, advertising, user administration, etc.

4.1 Program Toptop

 
The program is described as:
The NATSHEL_BRAND hotel wireless certification system consists mainly of mobile terminals (smart phones, tablets, notebooks, etc.), AC controllers, Portal servers, hotel PMS membership systems, flow-control gateways, switchboards, NAAC and AP.
“Hotel I”Representatives of the hotel chains that had been covered by wireless networks at an early stage;
“Hotel two.”(a) Representing the new hotel chain;
In the overall programme, they have played the following roles:
1、 Mobile terminals: users connect to the WLAN wireless network in hotels using mobile terminal devices such as cell phones, tablets and so on;
2、 AC controller: deployed in the network, centralized control of all AP equipment, unified SSID according to needs and separation of different VLANs;
3、 NatShell Portal server: docking with current control gateways, MAC or AC devices to achieve the pop-up and wireless authentication process for Portal certification pages, which supports custom design in any web language;
4、 Membership systems: NatShell portal server docking hotel PMS membership system, sending information on client phones to the membership system, which automatically registers members;
When using the six-digit and room numbers as account passwords, portal servers can read the customer ' s ID and room number in the PMS hotel membership system database and place it online when the information entered by the client and read by the portal are compatible;
The information of the hotel PMS system can also be read through the Portal server at NatShell, and users ' names, room numbers, residence status etc. are obtained, certified using room number plus initials;
5、 Flow-control gateways: achieve gateway firewalls, multi-line access and line optimization;
6、 Switches: for users, the POE switch provides a network power to wireless AP;
7、 NAC: The device is on“Hotel I”The use of NAC and cloud PORTAL in the context of the scene would allow for a uniform certification of the former wireless network;
8、   AP: Wireless access points to achieve wireless signal coverage within a given area;
 

4.3 Programme niche description

1) Wireless Access Certification
All mobile terminals with wireless capabilities have easy access to the wireless network and are reoriented to Portal authentication pages when a request for access to http is launched;
