Проект беспроводного покрытия для пятизвездочных отелей вдоль озера Ханьчуань в провинции Хубэй

With the rapid development of current mobile networks, tablets, smartphones, notebooks and other devices have become widely used. As a temporary residence for business travelers and tourists, hotels have become an integral part of hotel services.

1. The demand analysis for wireless coverage in large hotels is as follows:

a The hotel has a relatively regular layout, which requires full wireless coverage in each guest room and no blind spots;

b It needs to be able to automatically switch access points during the movement of wireless terminals and keep the network offline, that is, wireless roaming;

c The hotel should be decorated with high-end decoration, and the AP should be beautiful in appearance and need to support PoE power supply to meet fire protection and wiring requirements;

d AP supports unified management and configuration, and real-time monitoring of the working status of each AP, making operation and maintenance simple;

2. Installation and deployment

The lobby is relatively empty with few obstructions. Ceiling APs can cover a diameter of 20 meters in an open environment. Small and medium-sized hotel lobbies can arrange 2-3 APs according to the specific structure. Large hotel lobbies can add more as appropriate, as shown in the figure below. :

Lobby AP layout

The hotel restaurant is relatively empty with few obstructions. It can be deployed as appropriate according to the size of the restaurant and the coverage of ceiling-mounted APs. The points are evenly distributed, as shown in the following figure:

Restaurant AP layout

Guest rooms have a dense access environment and many wall barriers, which cause relatively large attenuation of wireless signals. It is recommended to deploy one panel AP in each room. As shown below:

Guest room AP deployment

3. Features of the plan

The solution requires the use of commercial wireless products to achieve coverage, and deployment using wireless AP controller AC and FIT AP. It has the following characteristics:

High availability: The AP uses professional antennas with linearly adjustable transmit power. The AP transmit power can be reasonably adjusted according to the actual environment to meet the coverage needs of different areas.

Flexible roaming: FIT AP wireless deployment architecture allows different APs to transmit the same SSID. When wireless terminals move between different APs in the same VLAN, they can quickly switch between different APs to achieve fast cross-AP Layer 2 roaming.

Easy to deploy: The AP supports 802.3af standard PoE network cable power supply, which can directly replace the original network panel without rewiring, does not destroy the original decoration of the room, and is simple to construct.

Ease of management: FTT APs are uniformly managed by the wireless controller AC, which automatically discovers and manages APs in a unified manner. The AP running status can be viewed in real time to facilitate network management and maintenance. 

The following is an analysis of wireless coverage solutions for large hotels based on actual cases.

4. Project Introduction
