As AI and IoT reshape the hospitality sector, hotels prioritize intelligent services, guest-centric experiences, sustainable operations, and efficient Operations and Maintenance (O&M). As such, ICT infrastructure is transitioning from a supporting tool to the core driver of industry-wide innovation. Especially, smart check-in systems, cloud-based management platforms, and AI-driven personalized services streamline operations while advancing sustainability goals.

Huawei's Smart Hotel Solution keeps up with this momentum through cutting-edge hotel network connectivity and infrastructure. The resulting benefits for hotels include more comfortable personalized guest services, higher operational efficiency, and lower energy consumption.
