All Services over One Fiber, Smart Connectivity for "Little Sanya"!AINOPOL Upgrades All-Optical Networking for Shijiazhuang Aloha Hotel

Nestled in Xibu Changqing of Shijiazhuang, Aloha Hotel features tropical-style guest rooms reminiscent of "Little Sanya" and five-star services, making it a benchmark for parent-child getaways and leisure stays across the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

The hotel has demanding network requirements to support massive guest rooms, high-definition IPTV, high-speed Wi-Fi, reliable in-room telephones, private screen casting and other diversified services.

AINOPOL delivered a customized integrated all-optical networking solution for the hotel. By running one single optical fiber to each guest room, the system converges IPTV, wireless network and in-room telephone on one platform, building a solid smart digital foundation for this resort hotel.

I. 740 Guest Rooms: Traditional Networking Struggles to Meet Demands

As a large upscale resort, Aloha Hotel boasts 740 guest rooms of various types, including rainforest view rooms, parent-child themed rooms and space-themed rooms. Traditional cabling is plagued by three major pain points:

Complicated cabling and inefficient maintenanceSeparate lines are deployed for TV, telephone and network services. Equipment rooms are tangled with cables, leading to long construction cycles, difficult troubleshooting and high operation and maintenance costs.

Insufficient bandwidth and poor user experienceDuring peak hours, massive concurrent terminals, 4K IPTV streaming, high-speed Wi-Fi access and in-room calls often cause TV freezing, Wi-Fi latency and noisy phone calls.

Poor scalability limiting smart upgradesValue-added services such as private screen casting and in-room smart applications cannot be smoothly integrated, failing to deliver the full-scenario smart experience expected by high-end hotels.

II. All-Optical Solution: One Fiber to the Room, Three Networks Converged into a Streamlined Architecture

To realize the integrated deployment of all-optical networking, IPTV, wireless network, in-room telephone and private screen casting, Shijiazhuang Aloha Hotel adopted the following core devices:

Total investment for all core equipment above: ¥573,728

Core Networking Architecture

Converged Router + 10G Three-Tier Cloud Core SwitchIt builds a 10G backbone network to aggregate services across the entire hotel, ensuring high-bandwidth and low-latency data forwarding to handle concurrent traffic from 740 guest rooms.

NMC Network ControllerIt delivers unified management for the whole network, supporting plug-and-play deployment of devices, seamless Wi-Fi roaming, access permission control and remote operation & maintenance, which greatly cuts management costs.

OLT Optical Access + Integrated Gateway ServerAs the core hub of the all-optical network, it centrally distributes IPTV multicast, SIP voice and Wi-Fi data, realizing the convergence of television, telephone and data networks.

8-port PoE ONU TerminalsDeployed at the endpoint of each guest room, these terminals receive signals via a single optical fiber and provide access for IPTV, telephone and Gigabit Ethernet. They feature simplified cabling and stable power supply.

Dual-band Multi-service AP & Wi-Fi 6 Gigabit Ceiling APThey achieve full Wi-Fi coverage in guest rooms and public areas. Boasting high speed, low latency and strong concurrent access capability, Wi-Fi 6 supports private screen casting and meets the demands for high-definition audio and video, wireless office and smart interconnection.

Core Advantages of the Solution

Optical fibers replace traditional copper cables. A single fiber carries television, telephone and Wi-Fi services, reducing cabling workload by 80%. Equipment rooms stay tidy, while construction and daily maintenance become much easier.

10G Bandwidth for Smooth User Experience

Supported by the 10G all-optical backbone, 4K/8K IPTV plays without stuttering. Internal calls are clear and noise-free. Wi-Fi 6 runs at high speed with stable performance, and private screen casting works instantly.

Full Coverage & Seamless Roaming

Wi-Fi 6 signals cover all guest rooms and public areas with no blind spots. Users can roam across the network without perception, catering to all networking needs of family travelers and business guests.

High Reliability, Easy Expansion & Maintenance

The passive all-optical architecture features low failure rates and long service life. The unified management platform enables remote maintenance and instant fault location. It also reserves expansion space for future in-room smart control and IoT applications.

III. Upgrade Outcomes: All-Optical Smart Connectivity Elevates Five-Star Resort Experience

After the deployment of the integrated all-optical solution, all 740 guest rooms of Aloha Hotel are covered by all-optical networks, and the three converged networks operate stably. Both guest experience and hotel operation have been fully upgraded:

Fluent HD IPTV: 4K live streaming, video on demand and playback deliver sharp images with zero buffering, perfectly matching entertainment demands for resort stays.
