AINOPOL All-Optical Network Interconnected with Hotel PMS System: Link Check-in Information with Real-Name Authentication

Against the dual trends of hotel digital transformation and cybersecurity compliance, real-name authentication and log retention have become non-negotiable bottom-line requirements for hotel operation. The Cybersecurity Law clearly stipulates that as public network service providers, hotels must implement user real-name authentication and retain internet access logs for no less than 180 days. Non-compliant hotels will face heavy fines, business suspension rectification and other penalties. Leveraging core all-optical network technologies, AINOPOL launches an in-depth PMS system interconnection solution to realize automatic real-name verification upon check-in, traceable internet access and full log retention. It balances regulatory compliance and guest experience, building a secure and efficient digital infrastructure for hotels.

I. Core Pain Points of Traditional Hotel Network Real-Name Verification & Log Retention

Most mid-to-low-end and old domestic hotels still adopt traditional networking and authentication modes featuring independent systems and poor data interconnection, which fail to meet stringent industry supervision standards and support intelligent automatic management. Four prominent pain points are listed as follows:

1. Isolated data hinders compliant real-name verification

Traditional hotel Wi-Fi authentication systems operate independently from front-desk PMS check-in systems with no data interconnection. After guests complete real-name registration with ID cards or passports at the front desk, their identity information cannot be synchronized to the network management backend. When connecting to in-room Wi-Fi, guests have to manually enter phone numbers, receive SMS verification codes or fill in personal information via QR codes for secondary authentication.

Such dual registration procedures are not only cumbersome, but also unable to achieve integrated matching of guests, identity documents, guest rooms and network access behaviors. Formalistic real-name verification fails to meet public security network supervision standards and frequently triggers compliance inspection problems. Meanwhile, complicated authentication processes easily lead to guest complaints, damaging hotel service reputation and repeat customer rates.

2. Disordered internet access logs bring high risks of insufficient retention

Traditional network devices lack professional audit and log storage functions. Scattered guest online behaviors and fragmented data make it impossible to automatically record complete online tracks, terminal information and access duration. Most hotels rely on manual data backup and simple software for record-keeping, resulting in frequent log loss, tampering and missing records, which cannot satisfy the mandatory 180-day long-term retention rule. During random public security inspections, hotels are unable to provide complete, traceable and valid internet access logs, which greatly increases the risk of rectification penalties and operational hidden dangers.

3. Heavy manual operation raises overall hotel operating costs

In traditional modes, front desk staff need to frequently assist guests with Wi-Fi authentication and resolve network faults, adding huge workloads. Besides, traditional networks consist of numerous scattered devices including routers, switches and authentication equipment with widespread fault points and difficult troubleshooting. Daily maintenance and fault diagnosis consume massive manpower resources. Excessive manual intervention not only reduces operational efficiency, but also easily causes human negligence and hidden compliance loopholes.

4. Uncontrolled network permissions lead to security management loopholes

Traditional hotel networks cannot be linked with guest stay status. Guests can still connect to in-room Wi-Fi normally after checking out, resulting in common issues such as free network usage by departed guests, unauthorized network access by outsiders and irregular online behaviors. Hotels are unable to precisely control network access rights of individual guest rooms, causing waste of network resources and exposing the internal network to threats including network attacks, illegal surfing and information leakage brought by unfamiliar terminal devices.

All logs are stored locally in encrypted tamper-proof form with automatic backup functions, strictly complying with official regulations to maintain valid records for 180 days. Each internet access log is accurately bound with PMS check-in identity information and room numbers to establish one-to-one correspondence among guests, rooms and network behaviors. Hotels can export complete log reports with one click during official inspections to pass audits efficiently and eliminate penalty risks fundamentally.

3. Automatic network disconnection upon check-out builds intelligent closed-loop permission control

The system maintains 24/7 real-time linkage with hotel PMS systems to synchronize guest status including check-in, in-stay and check-out. The moment guests complete check-out procedures, the system instantly identifies relevant information and disables all network access rights of corresponding guest rooms to force local terminals offline and block reconnection attempts.

This technical mechanism thoroughly eradicates irregular phenomena such as post-check-out free internet usage and unauthorized external access. It realizes fully automatic and intelligent network permission management without manual disconnection operations, cutting down daily maintenance workloads and strengthening comprehensive internal network security defense lines for hotels.
