Visitor Networks in Parks Brought Under Regulatory Inspection: All-Optical Networks Enable Real-Name Internet Access + Full-Lifecycle Auditing

Previously, enterprise park visitor Wi-Fi was merely a simple internet access service for guests. Operators would post QR codes or distribute shared passwords, and the service was deemed complete once visitors connected successfully. However, as cybersecurity supervision expands to cover network operators and public internet service providers, park visitor networks now face a shift in priorities: the core concern is no longer “can users get online”, but rather who is accessing the network, how they connect, what activities they perform, and whether incidents can be traced.

Decree No.176 of the Ministry of Public Security, Measures for the Supervision and Inspection of Cyberspace Security, which takes effect on October 1, 2026, explicitly lists public internet service providers as targets of supervision and inspection. Retention of user registration information and internet access logs are designated key inspection items. Public security authorities may identify hidden risks via online patrols, vulnerability scanning and remote detection.

Accordingly, enterprise park visitor networks must be upgraded from basic wireless access to a comprehensive network system featuring real-name authentication, network isolation, auditing and security protection.

I. Why Visitor Networks Must Evolve from Simple Connectivity to Traceability

Visitor identities cannot rely on a single shared password

Parks receive daily visitors including clients, suppliers, partners and temporary construction staff. If everyone uses one universal Wi-Fi password, administrators cannot accurately map specific network behaviours to individual users.

When security incidents, abnormal access or regulatory inspections occur, a single SSID and shared password cannot establish complete identity correlation.

Therefore, visitor access must shift from “connect with a password” to real-name authentication. This binds user identities to network accounts, enabling subsequent correlation with login/logout timestamps, IP addresses, MAC addresses and other network metadata.

Clear boundaries must be maintained between visitor networks and corporate intranets

Visitors only require internet access, not permissions to access internal office systems, servers or shared files.

If visitor Wi-Fi shares the same network environment as the office LAN, internal resources become exposed. It also increases complexity for security auditing and fault troubleshooting.

Building visitor networks requires not only Portal authentication, but also robust architectural isolation. Visitors can access the internet normally, yet are blocked from reaching internal business assets.

II. How AINOPOL All-Optical Networks Deliver Real-Name Authentication and Auditing

1. Portal real-name authentication to assign identity to every connection

AINOPOL’s Portal real-name authentication platform supports QR-code verification and SMS verification for park visitors, to complete identity verification according to park management rules.

Only after authentication are temporary network permissions assigned to visitors, instead of distributing long-term public passwords.

For park administrators, this links network accounts directly to visitor identities. Visitor entry time, network addresses and subsequent online activities can all be traced against the verified identity.

Temporary accounts can be configured with expiry times. Permissions are automatically revoked upon expiration, eliminating leftover access rights after visitors leave.

2. Automatic log retention to avoid hasty data collection during inspections

Real-name authentication is only the first step. When facing cybersecurity inspections, administrators need to answer what visitors have done online.

AINOPOL Dream Gateways manage visitor network egress and log auditing. They uniformly record user identities, login and logout times, IP addresses, MAC addresses and access behaviours, with local storage for log retention.

More importantly, logs require integrity and anti-tampering protection. Continuous audit trails are formed for network behaviours. When anomalies emerge, administrators can quickly query records by time, user or IP, removing the burden of manually sorting logs from multiple devices.

During regulatory audits, parks can directly retrieve network behaviour records from the unified platform instead of scrambling to assemble data.

3. Separate visitor and office networks; authenticated users cannot exceed their privileges

Real-name authentication answers “who you are”; network isolation defines “what you are allowed to access”.

On the all-optical network architecture, logical service domains isolate visitor, office and security networks. For example, visitor Wi-Fi only grants internet access, while office networks retain internal OA, ERP and file server resources.

For wired visitor terminals, ONU port binding and MAC binding further control connected devices and block unauthorized equipment plugged into the network.

Even after passing real-name authentication, visitors cannot automatically gain access to corporate internal network resources.

4. Deploy egress security to eliminate vulnerabilities even after real-name authentication

Visitor networks require not only identity tracking, but also inherent security protection.

AINOPOL Dream Gateways integrate routing, firewall, intrusion prevention, antivirus and log auditing capabilities to manage all egress traffic.

The system detects and blocks abnormal connections, attacks and risky traffic according to security policies. As a result, visitor networks deliver not merely compliance via real-name authentication and logging, but a complete protection framework covering identity, access control and egress security.

For enterprise parks, real-name authentication and log auditing resolve network management challenges, while data transmission security represents a deeper requirement.

AINOPOL’s integrated communication & encryption concept embeds identity authentication, network isolation, encrypted communication and security auditing into the all-optical network while carrying diverse services. The network provides stable transmission, policies define access boundaries, and security capabilities cover user access and data transmission.

For visitor networks, this transforms simple Wi-Fi provision into a managed network with verifiable identities, controllable permissions and traceable behaviours.

A complete closed-loop workflow is formed:
Visitor QR-code authentication → system assigns temporary permissions → visitor connects to isolated network zone → automatic recording of online behaviours → timely detection of abnormal activities → unified log retention and auditing.

Against the backdrop of Decree No.176, visitor network construction for parks focuses no longer merely on coverage and bandwidth. The priority is verifying identities, maintaining clear network boundaries, recording behaviours and enabling incident traceability.

Built on an all-optical foundation with integrated Portal real-name authentication, log auditing, network isolation and egress security, visitor Wi-Fi evolves from basic public Wi-Fi into a manageable node within the park’s overall cybersecurity system.

FAQ

Q: Will real-name authentication for visitors be cumbersome and hurt user experience?
A: No. AINOPOL supports self-service access via WeChat QR codes or SMS verification codes without manual registration. Custom welcome pages and privacy statements are available for a smooth experience.

Q: Our park covers a large area. Do we need to deploy dedicated leased lines or extra servers for this auditing system?
A: No expensive standalone audit servers are required. Native auditing modules inside core gateways store full logs and support interconnection with network supervision platforms. Built on the all-optical foundation, optical fibre supports transmission distances over 20km, fully covering large-scale parks.

Q: How is thorough isolation guaranteed between visitor networks and office networks?
A: Different SSIDs are mapped to separate VLANs to achieve dual logical and physical isolation between internal and external networks. Visitor networks can only access the internet and cannot reach core business systems such as internal OA and ERP, effectively protecting intranet data security.
