In such an information time, network is already becoming a vital impulsion for industries’ development. So is for Hotel. How to be more competitive mostly depends on its informatization process. In overall terms, there are two kinds of broadband requirements for Hotel. The first one is for independent hotels, who are asking for smooth, stable and strong networks. The other one is for chain hotels, seeking for more comprehensive networks among Headquarter, branches and mobile users.

After contacting with many hotels which have to access broadband, Qno, as an expert on Router, finds their requirements as follows:

• A stable and long-running environment: No matter what kind of hotels they are, chain hotels for VPN or independent hotels supplying normal surfing, they are both requiring a reliable and steady continuous network operation for online computers.
• Separate management on VPN and Public Network: This is typically for chain hotels. Establishing VPN tunnels, network administrator can have clear and exclusive network among very hotels in the group and separate this VPN network from ordinary Internet usage of hotel guests for a better efficiency.
• Restrictions on heavy download: Broadband misusage such as BT, Thunder has already bothered hotel runners for a long period, influencing other users’ speed in accessing the Internet.
• Controls on online behaviors: For a better working efficiency, Hotel really hopes its employees no IM chatting during working hours.
• Virus preventing from both intranet and internet: Service Industry is devoting itself to a better service. So for supplying a better online quality, hotel runners hope some effective solutions against hacker, ARP and so on.
• Easy configuration: As the fact that many hotel employees are not professionals in operating the network, easy installations and configurations will be better for them.

• Central Control
  Qno QVM series support a central interface for network administrators to watch 200 braches at most. They can also make settings of each router through VPN, which is very safe and efficient.
• Able to intercommunicate among branches
  Without configuring VPN between two branches, Qno special VPN Hub can realize each branch’s connection through Headquarter. Moreover, different ISPs’ existing sometimes causes cross-network issues. Thanks to VPN Hub, Users can also visit other ISPs different from its own one under the help of VPN Hub, improving the efficiency.
• Multi-WANs
  Qno multi-WAN designing, for one thing, provides a backup interface in case of VPN losing connection.
