Huawei Xinghe Intelligent High-Quality Hotel Network Solution:
Wi-Fi 7 Upgrade of Rosewood Sanya

Located in Haitang Bay, Sanya, on China's Hainan Island, the ultra-luxurious Rosewood Sanya opened in the summer of 2017 as the first resort in China under the Rosewood Hotels & Resorts brand. The resort offers 244 panoramic ocean view rooms and four restaurants and lounges. In addition, Rosewood Sanya provides guests with open terraces, an infinity pool, a fully equipped fitness center, and a spa center that has obtained Forbes' four-star rating. Along with the 5,400-square-meter International Finance Forum convention center, the hotel is now an undisputed leader in both high-end accommodation and exhibitions in Hainan. Rosewood Sanya, as a renowned five-star luxury hotel, has long focused on delivering an outstanding network experience for guests, with digital experience seen as vital to ensuring a good overall guest experience. However, as the hotel's business expands and guests' digital needs grow by the day, the existing wireless network faces severe challenges, such as uneven network signal coverage, video freezing in high-concurrency scenarios, and weak signals in outdoor areas. These issues have significantly impacted guest experience and the hotel's operational efficiency. To overcome these challenges, Rosewood Sanya collaborated with Huawei to deploy next-generation Wi-Fi 7 networks using the Huawei Xinghe Intelligent High-Quality Hotel Network Solution. Through full-scenario coverage and intelligent technology-based optimization, the hotel has successfully created a seamless, high-speed, and stable wireless service environment. This not only supports current hotel operations but also lays a solid foundation for its future digital development. The vastly improved network experience brought by Wi-Fi 7 is also elevating Rosewood Sanya's digital transformation to new heights.

In this way, guests can enjoy stable and high-speed network services whether they are resting or working in guest rooms, or having business conferences in conference rooms.

• AirEngine 6776-56TP, ensuring smooth network experience in high-density and high-concurrency scenarios, such as banquet halls and restaurants

AirEngine 6776-56TP can be used in densely populated areas. Based on the multi-AP coordination technology of Wi-Fi 7, the load of adjacent APs can be automatically balanced. With this, a single AP can allow more than 120 users to access the Internet at the same time, preventing experience deterioration of high-concurrency services such as livestreaming and event sign-in.

Solution benefits and achievements

• Ultra-high-speed experience and smooth video conferences:

Wi-Fi 7 improves the peak rate of a single user to 4.3 Gbps, and eliminates buffering for high-bandwidth services such as HD video and VR navigation. In this way, it provides guests with unprecedented ultra-high-speed network experience. In terms of user experience, guests no longer need to wait for videos to load or worry about unstable network experience. Instead, they can fully enjoy entertainment activities such as HD video and online gaming. This greatly improves guest satisfaction. The increase in network bandwidth not only meets current service requirements, but also provides possibilities for more high-bandwidth services in the future. Moreover, the high-speed network connection ensures services run stably and improves user experience by preventing network latency and video freezing.

• Full-scenario intelligent coverage, ensuring high-quality network services:

The signal coverage of outdoor APs is improved by 20%, and guests can enjoy smooth video calls when they are moving. In terms of user experience, the all-scenario intelligent coverage ensures that guests can enjoy seamless network services in any area of the hotel, from the guest room to the restaurant, and from the swimming pool to the conference room. The network switching is smooth and seamless, providing much more convenience and comfort for guests. Additionally, the proper allocation of network bandwidth ensures stable and efficient network connections in different scenarios, meeting guests' diverse needs. In terms of reliability, intelligent coverage technology ensures good network performance in a range of scenarios to reduce network problems caused by environmental changes or user movement.

• Built-in IoT interfaces of APs, paving the way for more intelligent hotel services in the future:

The built-in IoT interfaces of APs support future expansion of intelligent guest room and energy consumption management systems to protect hotel investment. This also opens up the possibility of offering more intelligent services, such as intelligent guest room control and energy consumption management, further improving guest experience.

• High reliability and high security, the central pillars of the hotel network:

An intelligent security protection mechanism is used to detect and defend against network attacks in real time. Even in high-speed network data transmission, it is possible to prevent data leakage and network attacks. In addition, the security design of interfaces ensures data security when the new system is connected, preventing potential security risks.
