Huawei FTTO Solution: Building a Modern City's Reception Hall for Liuyang Dolton International Hotel

The Liuyang River, nestled among the mountains, sparkles under the sunlight. Firecrackers soar into the sky, intertwining with the city's signature delicacies, while the traffic on Dao Wu Mountain Road and the serene natural scenery of Jinxiu City unfold slowly. Fireworks illuminate the night, turning fireworks into poetry. The Liuyang Dolton International Hotel, like a dazzling diamond, is embedded in the heart of Dao Wu, welcoming guests from all corners with the grace and warmth of a city.

Liuyang Dolton International Hotel is located in the Dawu New City District of Liuyang, adjacent to the Creative Jinxiu City, boasting a prime geographical position that effortlessly connects all corners of the city. With a total construction area of approximately 55,000 square meters, the hotel features a 100-meter-tall main tower offering panoramic views of the city. It houses 315 luxurious guest rooms and a 2,500-square-meter international banquet and conference center, along with a wealth of amenities including an executive lounge, Chinese and Western restaurants, a gym, and a swimming pool, making it a city-level benchmark for high-end living in Liuyang.

As the urban reception hall of Liuyang, Liuyang Dolton International Hotel not only provides guests with a comfortable living experience, but also represents the warmth and emotions of this city. The hotel design is based on the core concept of "cultural rejuvenation", which not only integrates the Liuyang River and Liuyang fireworks, but also implies a deep reconstruction of the network, experience, and service.

The logical evolution of the network foundation of smart hotels

A modern high-end hotel is not only a hub for travel, but also a stage for urban business exchanges, office receptions, and conference communication. From smart guest rooms to mobile offices, from live conference to multi terminal access, live broadcast, simultaneous interpreting, cloud conference, and multi terminal concurrency, each smooth experience is inseparable from high-speed and stable network support. However, traditional network architectures have multiple layers and complex devices, resulting in a large number of data centers and high operational pressure.

Luo Ke, the design director of Liuyang Dolton International Hotel, said, "In the early stages of hotel project construction, several key requirements for network construction were identified: flexible deployment of network equipment, minimizing equipment deployment space and supporting long-term evolution; simple network architecture, requiring green, low-carbon, and energy-saving; high bandwidth, low latency, and high reliability to ensure smooth and stable network in every corner of the hotel”.

FTTO all-optical network redefines the smart hotel network experience

After multiple rounds of technical evaluation and field research, Liuyang Dolton International Hotel ultimately chose the Huawei FTTO all-optical network solution.

The FTTO all-optical network solution connects with a point to multipoint optical network through a minimalist two-layer network architecture, enabling a single fiber to directly reach various core scenarios of the hotel such as the lobby, conference rooms, restaurants, parking lots, guest rooms, etc., reducing approximately 80% of the hotel's computer room and comprehensive cabling space, significantly reducing deployment and operation complexity. One room, one fiber, one terminal, with unified services such as television, telephone, intelligent customer control, wired and wireless internet access in the guest room.

The bandwidth of FTTO all-optical network also supports smooth evolution from 10G PON to 50G PON, allowing hotels to lay cables in one go without changing lines for 30 years. The fiber itself is made of silicon dioxide, which is green and environmentally friendly, reducing carbon emissions compared to copper wire based network cables.

Supported by the FTTO all-optical network, the network of Liuyang Dolton International Hotel has been upgraded at multiple levels：

Experience Upgrade：Traditional wireless networks adopt a multi-layer aggregation architecture of "AP → access switch → aggregation switch → core switch → AC controller", with lengthy links and complex layers, resulting in higher deployment and operation costs, and Wi Fi 7 air interface performance cannot be fully utilized.

FTTO optical wireless innovation solution, the optical AP is directly connected to the OLT (with built-in AC controller) through 10 gigabit fiber optic cable, providing multiple services in one network. This simplifies the transmission from weak current rooms to hotel rooms from traditional 6 or more cables to 1 fiber optic cable, saving 80% of comprehensive cabling and increasing line troubleshooting efficiency by 6 times; End to end adaptation of Wi Fi 7 networking, fully unleashing the high bandwidth performance of Wi Fi 7, with an air interface speed of up to 7.2Gbps and no lag during peak hours when multiple devices are concurrent.

Reliability upgrade：High speed bandwidth can stably support video live streaming and video connections for large-scale conferences with hundreds of people, high-speed file transfer, zero conference interruption rate, and continuous increase in business customer renewal rate, leading the industry.

Operation and maintenance upgrade：NeoSight network management centrally manages all devices, with visualized operation of business configuration throughout the process. Business can be opened within 1 minute, providing one-stop device management. When equipment malfunctions, network management personnel can locate the fault point in minutes, replace new equipment with plug and play functionality, and achieve full equipment management and business control.

By deploying a full fiber optic network in the hotel, Liuyang Dolton International Hotel not only achieves environmental protection and energy conservation, effectively reduces the overall energy consumption and operating costs of the hotel, but also helps to enhance the hotel's brand image; At the same time, based on this high-speed network foundation, achieving full coverage of high-speed Wi Fi 7 can not only meet the new digital service needs of hotels and significantly improve guest experience, but also support intelligent network operation and maintenance, making hotel management more convenient and efficient, and becoming an industry benchmark for digital transformation in the field of smart hotels.

In the future, Huawei will continue to use the FTTO all-optical network as the core base, work together with customers to deeply cultivate industry scenarios, accelerate the release of the integration momentum of "optix + intelligence", and promote the whole industry to move towards a new high point of digitization that is more efficient, green, and intelligent.
