Full Implementation Guide for Hotel Industry Real-Name Compliance & Network Security Protection—— Dream Series Solution

AINOPOL – Provider of All-Optical Converged Solutions.

Covering equipment selection, PMS docking, log configuration, security policy formulation and inspection drills, this is a complete implementation guide with acceptance criteria for every procedure.

Hotel real-name compliance and network security cannot be accomplished merely by purchasing a single device. They require standardized deployment, configuration and operation & maintenance mechanisms.Supported by all-optical network and entry-level all-optical network solutions, the AINOPOL Dream Series Secure Optical Gateway provides comprehensive operational guidelines, covering device installation, PMS interconnection, log policy configuration, security engine activation and inspection readiness drills.

Article 9 of the Provisions on Internet Security Protection Technical Measures (Ministry of Public Security Decree No. 82) stipulates:"Internet service providers and network-connected entities shall establish corresponding management systems and clarify the management responsibilities for security protection technical measures."

This means hotels shall not only procure compliant equipment, but also formulate daily operation maintenance and self-inspection regulations.Merely enabling real-name authentication without complete log retention leaves hotels with a nominal authentication process, yet no valid proof of data authenticity and integrity.Purchasing equipment without conducting pre-inspection drills will still lead to disorder and panic during official regulatory checks.

The official announcement issued by Dezhou in April 2026 requires security technical measures to be implemented within 30 days, and clarifies that the regulation applies to all venues continuing to provide internet access services.Therefore, hotels demand a complete end-to-end implementation solution, rather than a standalone device only.

Deliver a Replicable Compliance Implementation Operation Manual

Hotel operators need clear practical guidance:How to install the purchased equipment?How to complete PMS system docking?How to configure log retention rules?How to set up security policies?How to export standard audit reports during inspections?

Taking the Dream Series Secure Optical Gateway as an example, this article delivers a full-step implementation strategy from scratch.

Five Practical Blind Spots in Compliance Implementation

In compliance with the Cybersecurity Law of the People’s Republic of China and the Provisions on Internet Security Protection Technical Measures, commercial public internet venues such as hotels must strictly implement three mandatory cybersecurity compliance requirements:

1. Implement Real-Name Internet Access and Eliminate Anonymous Connections

All guests and internet users must complete real-name authentication. Anonymous direct network access by visitors is strictly prohibited. Meanwhile, fake account registration and unauthorized access behaviors must be eliminated.

2. Standardize Log Retention and Meet Required Storage Duration

Complete core internet access data must be fully recorded, including terminal MAC address, IP address, authenticated account, online time period, website access tracks and other key information. Network logs shall be retained for no less than six months.

3. Connect to Regulatory Systems and Support Data Submission

Internet logs shall not only be stored locally. Data must follow the unified standard format stipulated by public security authorities, supporting one-click export or real-time online reporting to meet supervision and verification requirements of network monitoring departments.

It should be noted that merely establishing a real-name authentication system without compliant log retention constitutes a typical compliance loophole. Even if a hotel has a real-name verification process, it will still be deemed non-compliant during routine public security inspections if it cannot provide complete, tamper-proof, and retrievable internet access logs, facing risks such as rectification within a time limit and administrative penalties.

Recommended Solution

AINOPOL Dream Series Secure Optical Gateway.It supports Passive Optical Network (POL) and fiber-to-room deployment, as well as low-threshold all-optical network renovation to reuse existing wiring.

Deployment Guidelines

Newly-built hotels: Adopt all-optical network + Passive Optical Network (POL) + fiber-to-room architecture.Old hotel renovation: Deploy low-threshold all-optical network, reuse original network cables, and complete reconstruction without business suspension.

Equipment Installation

Replace the original main router in the equipment room with the optical gateway, and connect multiple broadband lines with bandwidth aggregation enabled.Replace guest room terminals one by one (10–15 minutes per room).Install ceiling APs in public areas.

Portal & PMS Docking

Remotely log in to the gateway via the EAAS platform, and configure API or intermediate table docking.Test automatic synchronization of guest identity information upon front-desk check-in and automatic identity matching when connecting to Wi-Fi.For hotels without PMS, enable ID scanning plus local OCR recognition.

Log & Security Configuration

Set 180-day rolling log storage; verify complete fields including MAC, IP, authenticated account, time and URL.Enable IPS/AV/WAF security engines and activate blocking of unauthorized illegal devices.

Centralized O&M via EAAS Platform

Monitor device online status with automatic fault alarms.Hotel chain headquarters can centrally manage authentication rates, log integrity and security events across all branches.Original manufacturer provides 7×24-hour technical support.

Inspection Readiness Preparation

Authentication Test: Randomly select a guest room to complete Wi-Fi authentication, and verify that PMS identity information is correctly associated in the backend.

Log Integrity Check: Confirm the earliest log record dates back more than 180 days; export logs of the latest 24 hours and verify the five mandatory fields: MAC, IP, authenticated account, time and URL.

Export Drill: Generate audit reports by room number and time period, completing the whole process within 5 minutes.

Regulatory Docking Test: If real-time reporting is required, verify normal Syslog/API data push.

The deployment of the Dream Series Secure Optical Gateway is straightforward following this five-step process. After completion, hotels are equipped with:PMS-linked automatic real-name authentication, 180-day complete local log retention, IPS/AV/WAF security defense, EAAS remote O&M, and monthly self-inspection drill capabilities. When inspections arrive, front desk staff can export standard reports within 5 minutes to respond calmly.

FAQ

Q: How much storage space is required for six months of log retention?A: A medium-sized hotel generates approximately 1GB of logs per day, totaling around 180GB for 180 days.Options include expanding local storage via built-in hard disks or external storage devices, or adopting annual paid cloud storage without local capacity expansion.Cloud storage is ideal for unified multi-store management of hotel chains with controllable annual costs.For local deployment, confirm in advance whether the system supports automatic log rotation and overwriting after six months to ensure data security and continuous traceability.

Q: If we cannot troubleshoot and retrieve logs on the spot during a public security inspection, will we be judged as non-compliant?A: On-site inspections are judged by whether compliant logs can be presented immediately.If log access is temporarily unavailable due to administrator account issues or system maintenance, but all previous configurations and data are complete, you may first submit a written explanation. Rectification can be completed within the time limit required by authorities, without immediate penalty.It is recommended to train staff in advance on full-process log query and demonstration procedures, and prepare alternative offline log export methods for emergency use.

Q: Is there an official rectification deadline before public security inspections? When does the time limit start?A: The official notice issued by Lingcheng Branch of Dezhou Public Security Bureau clearly stipulates:Existing public internet venues shall complete security technical rectification within 30 days from the implementation date of the notice (30 days after the April 2026 announcement). Newly opened venues must finish rectification before officially providing internet services. Similar time limits apply in most other regions.

In accordance with the Announcement on Strengthening Cybersecurity Governance of Public Wireless Internet Access Venues issued by Lingcheng Branch of Dezhou Public Security Bureau in April 2026, public internet venues must implement mandatory security measures including real-name internet access, behavior auditing and log retention for no less than six months. All installed equipment must meet mandatory national and public security industry standards and be filed with the Ministry of Public Security.
