🏨 Hospitality

Five-Star Networks, Secure Payments, Happy Guests — With Evidence

Hospitality runs on guest experience, uptime, and trust.
SolveForce builds and operates hotel/resort, multi-property, and MICE (Meetings/Conventions) infrastructure that’s Zero-Trust by default, PCI-aligned, and auditable—so HSIA (high-speed internet access), PMS/POS, IPTV/casting, mobile key, and staff apps stay smooth across rooms, lobby, F&B, spa, and back-of-house.

🧭 Scope (What We Build & Operate)

• Property LAN/Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 — per-area RF design (rooms, lobby, pool, back-of-house, conference), PoE budgets, roaming tuned for phones/TVs/scanners. → /lan
• Segmentation — guest, staff, PMS/POS (CDE), IPTV/casting, IoT (locks/thermostats/cameras), and vendor networks with microsegmentation allow-lists. → /microsegmentation
• WAN & Edge — SD-WAN with dual underlays (fiber + LTE/5G; coax where useful; satellite tertiary for resorts), local edge cache for PMS/TV guides/loyalty. → /sd-wan
• Secure Access — 802.1X/NAC on wired/Wi-Fi; ZTNA for staff/contractors; SASE for web/SaaS. → /nac • /ztna • /sase
• Guest HSIA & Captive Portals — branded portal, PMS integration (folio/loyalty), bandwidth tiers, device fairness, MAC auth bypass for TVs.
• Portals/APIs — CDN + WAF/Bot for booking engines and apps; DDoS stance; rate/quotas; signed URLs. → /waf • /ddos
• Voice & Safety — SIP trunks with E911/NG911; POTS replacement for elevators/alarms with UPS runtimes documented. → /sip-trunking • /pots
• Data & AI — ETL/ELT → warehouse (occupancy/ADR/RevPAR), privacy-aware analytics, vector search for guest services with “cite-or-refuse.” → /etl-elt • /data-warehouse • /vector-databases

🧱 Zero-Trust Building Blocks (Hotel Edition)

• Identity & posture— SSO/MFA; device certs; MDM/UEM + EDR on staff devices and POS terminals; PAM for vendor engineers. → /iam • /mdm • /mdr-xdr • /pam
• Per-app access— ZTNA for PMS/back-office and vendor remote support; retire flat VPNs. → /ztna
• CDE enclave (PCI)— VRF + microseg, tokenization, HSM/Key Vault custody; WAF/Bot for carding defense. → /key-management • /encryption

🧩 Reference Architectures (Pick Your Fit)

---

📐 SLO Guardrails (Targets You Can Measure)

KPI / Service (p95 unless noted)	Target (Recommended)
Guest Wi-Fi associate + portal	≤ 3–8 s (first browse)
Room casting start (YouTube/OTT)	≤ 2–5 s
IPTV channel change	≤ 1–2 s
POS auth round-trip	≤ 150–300 ms
Property WAN availability (dual paths)	≥ 99.95%
ZTNA attach (staff/vendor)	≤ 1–3 s
VoIP MOS (narrowband/wideband)	≥ 3.9 / ≥ 4.1
Evidence completeness (Sev-1/2)	= 100% (logs/approvals)

SLO breaches auto-open tickets and trigger SOAR (reroute, scale, rollback, revoke). → /siem-soar

---

🔒 Compliance & Guest Privacy

• PCI DSS— CDE segmentation, tokenization, key custody (HSM/KMS), WAF/Bot, immutable logs/backups.
• GDPR/CCPA— privacy labels, DLP/tokenization for PII (loyalty/guest profiles), consent and retention workflows. → /dlp
• Life-Safety & 911— E911/NG911 proofs and test artifacts; elevator/alarms UPS runtimes recorded.
• SOC 2 / ISO 27001— access, change, logging, IR; monthly evidence packs.

---

📊 Observability & Evidence

• Property SLO boards — HSIA attach, IPTV/casting, POS latency, WAN health, ZTNA attaches, WAF/Bot hits; backup/DR artifacts.
• Change diffs & approvals exported to SIEM; monthly executive & audit reports.
  → /siem-soar • /noc • /circuit-monitoring

---

💾 Continuity & Incident Response

• Immutable backups for PMS/POS/configs; DRaaS runbooks; quarterly drills with artifacts; clean-point catalog.
  → /backup-immutability • /cloud-backup • /draas

Key terms in plain language

Open a term for a concise explanation of language used on this page.

💡Fiber Internet

Internet delivered through strands of glass using light. Fiber commonly supports high capacity, low latency, and strong upload performance, but availability must be confirmed for the exact address.

📊Bandwidth

The amount of data a connection can carry in a given time, usually measured in Mbps or Gbps. More bandwidth supports more users, devices, and simultaneous applications.

⏱️Latency

The time it takes data to travel between two points. Lower latency improves voice, video meetings, cloud applications, gaming, and other real-time services.

🔀SD-WAN

Software-defined wide area networking. It manages multiple connections and chooses paths based on application needs, performance, and policy to improve resilience and control.

🔐VPN

A virtual private network creates an encrypted connection across another network, commonly allowing remote users or offices to access private resources securely.

🔌SIP Trunking

A service that connects a business phone system to the public telephone network using Internet Protocol, replacing or supplementing traditional phone lines.

🧰Software as a Service (SaaS)

Software accessed as an online service instead of being installed and maintained entirely on the customer’s own computers or servers.

♻️Disaster Recovery (DRaaS)

A plan and service for restoring applications, data, and operations after an outage or disruption. DRaaS provides recovery infrastructure through a managed cloud service.
