Without a centralized WLAN controller, the existing APs were not able to provide stable wireless connectivity and roaming was not available. IT specialists face issues like unspecified error and have to go through time-consuming process to manually reset the password every week, which generates unnecessary costs for the hotel.
II. Challenges

-Different SSID and password in different area, roaming was not available.

-IT specialists need to change password for AP once a week

-The insignificant but necessary tasks consumes most of IT specialists’ working hours
