The hotel is a WIFI authenticated Internet system, mostly only to remember when the renovations are fast closing and power is weak."How do you get this on the Internet?"The network wiring is now dead, the engine room is not easily re-positioned, and many of the things that should have been done during the construction are becoming a comeback. We've had contact with a lot of hotel projects, and it's often not so much equipment to buy, but rather a few key things to be set down in the build. This article does not say product parameters, but just our experience, and hotels should think about what they need before they start.
Let's confirm who the authentication is for.
This is bullshit, but many hotels don't understand. Are they for guest guests or temporary visitors to the lobby, restaurant, conference room? Is the number of residential cards or mobile phone numbers a separate list of provisional accounts? These questions determine which data sources are to be connected to the certification system. If you serve the guest alone, it will be enough to connect with PMS front desk; if you have meetings and party-discrepancies, the account will be complicated."Temporary plus requirements"And the temporary additions are often hard to get. It is suggested that at this stage, a table should be drawn up of all those who have access to the Internet and how each category gets online and what kind of identification they use.
How far is the line going?
Some hotels require only a mobile code, which can be traced back to people; some have to get an ID card and even a local information security management platform. This is relevant for the hotel city, asterisk level, and whether it is involved abroad. One of the most appropriate things to do during the preparation period is to ask the local Internet security department about the specific requirements of the accommodation WIFI, rather than being checked after it has been opened. We have seen a new hotel open for three months, asked to re-establish the logs, temporarily find the vendor plus the modules, and then plan ahead.
We need to talk about the interface with PMS's front desk.
The user's Internet experience depends in part on the compliance of the certification system and PMS. Ideally, when a customer is registered, he can access the Internet directly with his room number plus his name, check out automatically, without having to register separately. But there are many different PMS manufacturers, which have very varied interfaces, some give standard APIs, some direct databases, or others simply fail to do so. This must be done together with PMS suppliers and certification systems providers during the construction phase, to confirm that the interface is functional, who is responsible for the connection and how it costs. When PMS was not used for interfaces, the guests had to register manually, and the experience was very far from being shared with the front desk.
Network structure to set the authentication space
The authentication system is not an isolated server, but it has to be tied to the network flow path. Where NATSHEL_AUTH_GATEWAY is placed and how core switches are connected, bypass or serialized, authenticating the server is located locally or clouded, all of which influences the design of the network structure. If the weak sheet lines do not consider where they are certified, then the equipment that will have to be added to them may need to re-tweevelop the link. When building the network is planned, the location of NatSHELL_AGATEWAY should be combined with the top-down connection and redundancy scheme. The cost of communication with the weak power master package is low, but if it is missing, the cost of returning to work is high.
The standards of coverage for guest rooms and public areas are to be separated.
The guest's demands on the guest room WIFI are increasing, and a bed-painted video card is bad. And public areas like lobbys and corridors are good enough. When you prepare for wireless coverage, it is better to keep the guest room at one panel per room or two rooms with full signal strength and bandwidth; public area can be well served by a top AP in human circulation."Not online."Head. So, the coverage design and certification system is a two-way thing, so the construction period needs to be considered together, with criteria set at the sub-region level, and no one size fits all.
The bandwidth and the exits are based on a full peak.
Many hotels have broadband exports that are measured on a regular basis, and when they reach the end of the season, everyone is fully booked in their rooms at night, video-teleconferences, and the exits are filled with certifications. The speed of the net is passed, but it is slow to make people look like the streets. When you prepare for broadband, you must estimate the bandwidth by adding a peak to the public area ' s passenger flow and confirm with operators whether there is exclusive bandwidth or a minimum speed.
The responsibility for the transporter must be lost to someone before he starts operating.
There's always a problem with the system being connected, and there's an APB going off, a client not authenticating it, and a log is exported for inspection. Who's running these daily carriers, whether they're hotel IT or outsourced to the manufacturer or group remote support, must be pre-opened. We've seen too many hotels, we've got a lot of fun in business, no one actually takes over after delivery, and all we can say is that the front desk has problems."The network's broken."The company has a long way to go. It's the time to get out of the building manual to identify duty bearers, response deadlines, and frequently asked questions.
The construction period is the most cost-effective, and many things are just moving the mouth, changing the drawings, and then starting with real silver processing. The WIFI authenticated Internet system at the hotel looks like a technical job, and most of the real pits are not planned in the prior period. Let's get these things together before we start work, much more than repeated firefights.
