Digital Hub : much more than an interface !

DirectStreams is proud to present a fluid, powerful and comprehensive platform: Digital Hub. This self-service Cloud content management platform (CMS) is centralized and flexible to the styles of different hotels. Also, this tool is scalable allowing each hotel to build its ideal solution by selecting the services it wants to offer to its customers (Wi-Fi, Live TV, Streaming, VOD, BYOD …)

Looking to update all your interfaces in just a few clicks? It has never been easier! Each staff member can be in charge of a part of the configuration of a product. For example, one member of the team can administer the menus of the DSID graphical interface while another has the rights to modify the PDFs.

PAN (Private Area Network)

In a classic hotel Wi-Fi network, all user devices (visitors or guests) are usually connected to the same VLAN (Virtual Private Network). In order to preserve the confidentiality, security and anonymity of the users, it is then necessary to isolate the devices from each other so that they cannot communicate directly. This is the role of the “Client Isolation” function available on most access points. Communication from the devices to the Internet is managed by a centralized access controller. This access controller is located in the LMS for our solution.

PAN classic WIFI
The disadvantage of this architecture appears when you want to make other devices such as Apple TVs, Chromecast keys or other connected objects accessible to users' devices. Since they cannot be on the same VLAN due to isolation (Client Isolation), it is necessary to connect them to another VLAN. To prevent all devices from connecting at the same time, it is necessary to manage the allocation of the connected objects and to authenticate the user devices. This allocation and authentication is managed by the LMS, but is a bottleneck.
PAN CLASSIC WIFI DEVICES
The PAN, or "Private Area Network", allows access points to create several VLANs on the Wi-Fi network (one per room or one per guest), so that all the devices in the guest or room can communicate with each other but are always isolated from the devices of other users. The advantage of this architecture is the possibility to connect devices such as Apple TV, Chromecast keys or connected objects directly to the same "PAN". The devices of the PAN users can communicate directly with the latter without authentication and without allocation management, in the same way as in a domestic use. PANs can be seen as bubbles in which all devices (personal or hotel owned) associated with a room or guest are connected. In this architecture, access control to the Internet is no longer centralized but is distributed among the access points.

COVID-19 & BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)

In the face of the Covid-19 pandemic, which we have been facing since mid-March 2020, we give our full support and commitment to our hotel guests.

Today, May 11, 2020 is the first day of the deconfinement and many of our hotel customers have asked us to offer their guests access to hotel information and entertainment services from DirectStreams from their mobile devices (smartphone, tablet, …).

DirectStreams’ DSOne service portal responds positively to these requests and allows hotel guests to access information and entertainment on their mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets:

  • The hotel information portal with up-to-date information provided by the hotel (e.g. COVID information, city maps, restaurant menu, …).
  • A chat module allowing to communicate easily and efficiently with the hotel staff, but also with other guests who wanted to be visible on the chat, or to interact with the chat rooms proposed by the hotel.
  • An access module to live TV channels on its mobile device
  • An integrated telephony module allowing you to use your smartphone instead of your room phone.
  • A reservation module for ordering products or services with direct delivery to the room or to another part of the hotel.
