Small and Medium-Sized Hotels Bear the Same Compliance Obligations

Articles 21 and 24 of the Cybersecurity Law of the People’s Republic of China apply to all network operators, regardless of scale.Though small and medium-sized hotels have limited budgets, their legal obligations remain identical.

The April 2026 official notice in Dezhou clearly stipulates that all venues providing internet access services must implement required security measures within 30 days.Among the 5 penalized entities dealt with by the Beihu Public Security Branch in Jining, most were small and medium-sized hotels.

Meanwhile, professional claim chasers specifically target Wi-Fi compliance loopholes in small hotels, demanding expensive settlement compensation.Enabling authentication without complete log retention means a hotel has a nominal real-name process, yet cannot prove the authenticity and integrity of its user data.For this reason, small and medium-sized hotels need a low-cost, easy-to-deploy compliance solution even more urgently.

A Compliance Solution Affordable and Usable for Small & Medium Hotels

Small hotel operators face a dilemma: public security inspections are becoming increasingly strict, while renovation brings concerns over high costs, business suspension, and lack of follow-up technical support.

Tailored specifically for small and medium-sized hotels, the Dream Series Secure Optical Gateway features low cost, simple deployment and zero business suspension during upgrade.

Three Practical Difficulties Facing Small & Medium Hotel Compliance

Install the Dream Series Secure Optical Gateway and connect multiple residential broadband lines with bandwidth aggregation enabled. This delivers substantial annual savings on dedicated leased line fees, while multiple lines serve as mutual backups.

Guest Room Terminal Replacement

Replace converged terminals room by room, making full use of existing network cables without rewiring. The operation per room takes only a short time and can be arranged flexibly.

System Configuration

Remotely configure PMS docking via the EAAS cloud platform; for hotels without PMS, enable QR-code-based ID authentication. Set up 180-day rolling log storage and activate the security engine. Provide training for front desk staff on remotely exporting audit reports.

One Device Integrates Compliance, Network and Security

The AINOPOL M1 Multi-Service Security Gateway adopts an integrated converged architecture. It integrates more than 20 functions including routing, switching, network security, all-optical network, AC controller, IPPBX, log audit, media streaming and private screen casting.

A single device supports all services and replaces multiple traditional standalone devices. It greatly simplifies the network architecture, saves over 50% of equipment room space, and significantly reduces the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Supports PMS docking to realize consistent identity verification. For hotels without PMS, guests can scan and upload identity documents with local OCR recognition, keeping all data stored on-premises without leaving the hotel.It complies with the real identity verification requirement specified in Article 24 of the Cybersecurity Law of the People’s Republic of China, and this method is recognized in Article 4 of the Dezhou official notice.

Log RetentionAutomatic 180-day rolling storage on local hard disks, retaining complete log fields including MAC address, IP address, authenticated account, timestamp and URL access records.Standard reports can be exported with one click via the EAAS platform, fully meeting the requirements of Article 7 of MPS Decree No.82. No additional log server purchase is required.

Security ProtectionBuilt-in triple security engines: IPS (Intrusion Prevention), AV (Antivirus) and WAF (Web Application Firewall).It automatically blocks unauthorized private routers and pinhole cameras, and defends against hacker intrusions.The telephony module is equipped with anti-fraud call protection mechanisms.

Network InfrastructureLow-threshold all-optical network solution compatible with existing network cables.Guest room terminals support dual uplink of optical fiber and Ethernet. Hotels can use existing network cables now and smoothly upgrade to fiber-to-room in the future without replacing the optical gateway.

Flexible DeploymentThe M1 Multi-Service Security Gateway supports multiple deployment modes including routing, bridge, bypass and hybrid mode, adapting flexibly to the existing network status of hotels:

Existing hotels (with live network)Bypass deployment is recommended. The audit gateway is connected beside the existing network for plug-and-play deployment, causing zero interruption to ongoing business. Compliance renovation can be completed within 2 days.

Newly-built hotelsCore gateway mode is recommended. The Dream Series gateway serves as the core device to unify the entire network, achieving full compliance right from the initial network design.

Hybrid ModeFlexibly adapts to complex networking environments and protects the hotel’s existing network investment.

In terms of deployment cycle, renovation can be finished within 2 days for hotels with less than 200 rooms. Cabling workload is reduced by 80% compared with traditional solutions, with no need for new slotting or large-scale copper cable laying.

Cloud Management — Easy Maintenance Even Without Dedicated IT Staff

Via the EAAS cloud platform, hotel managers and front desk staff can remotely log in to the optical gateway via PC or mobile phone to check device status, online users and log records.

The system automatically performs rolling log storage for more than 180 days with complete standard fields.Original manufacturer provides 7×24-hour technical support and remote fault diagnosis, with no need for on-site engineers.

Tailored for small and medium-sized hotels, the Dream Series Secure Optical Gateway eliminates compliance concerns entirely through three core advantages: cost-effective investment, existing wiring reuse, and remote operation & maintenance.

After deployment, the hotel is equipped with:PMS / QR-code real-name authentication, 180-day complete local log retention, triple-layer security protection, and one-click report export.

FAQ

Q: Is the existing 100Mbps network cable sufficient?A: Yes. The actual speed of 100Mbps cables fully meets daily needs such as web browsing, social apps and video streaming.If higher bandwidth is required, fiber optics can be upgraded gradually, and the terminals support dual compatibility for smooth migration.

Q: Will construction work affect guest internet access?A: Replacing the terminal in a single guest room only takes a short time and can be arranged while guests are out.Main gateway replacement in the equipment room is completed quickly during off-peak hours, bringing minimal overall impact.

Q: Can broadband aggregation replace dedicated leased lines?A: For small and medium-sized hotels, aggregating multiple residential broadband lines delivers far higher total bandwidth than a single dedicated line.Lines serve as mutual backups with automatic failover, generating substantial annual cost savings while fully meeting guests’ mainstream demands for web access and video playback.

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 Wi-Fi venues must legally implement security technical measures including real-name internet authentication, behavior auditing and log retention for no less than six months. All deployed equipment shall comply with mandatory national and public security industry technical standards and be filed with the Ministry of Public Security.

In January 2026, Beihu Branch of Jining Public Security Bureau imposed fines on 5 entities that refused to rectify non-compliant network issues and conducted disciplinary interviews with more than 10 operators.In April 2026, four enterprises in Taiyuan received official warnings and penalties for failing to retain network logs for the required six-month period.
