This showcase aims to promote advancements in smart hotel network technology and infrastructure, thereby accelerating the digital transformation of the hospitality industry worldwide.

With AI and IoT significantly impacting hospitality, hotels are focusing on providing smart services, customized guest experiences, sustainable practices, and efficient operations and maintenance.

He added that the Huawei Smart Hotel Solution in use at the Torre Melia Gran Meliá Hotel helps them deliver smooth, intelligent services more efficiently and ensures reliable, high-speed network coverage across their properties.

Huawei’s Smart Hotel Solution, leveraging IP and POL technologies, offers three key advantages:

• Wireless access points equipped with smart antennas ensure consistent Wi-Fi coverage throughout the hotel, both indoors and outdoors, providing seamless roaming and very fast network speeds.
• Optical fibers replace traditional Ethernet cables, enabling each room to be connected via a single fiber and terminal. This energy-efficient and forward-looking approach supports sustainable development.
• Huawei iMaster-NCE, utilizing AI models, provides automated root cause analysis, enhancing O&M efficiency.

The process, from solution design to system integration and delivery, requires collaboration with partners. Huawei’s Smart Hotel Solution is designed for partners seeking straightforward integration, deployment, and maintenance.
