Hotel Distributed Network Broadcasting

I. System Overview

The GENDE Distributed Network Broadcasting System is purpose‑built for hotel scenarios. Leveraging an advanced distributed network architecture, it breaks down the deployment and operational barriers of traditional hotel broadcasting systems, delivering a convenient experience of “no server, no IP configuration, plug‑and‑play” – just power on and connect to the network. The system enables precise broadcast coverage

across every area of the hotel, providing an efficient, stable, and easy‑to‑operate audio broadcasting solution that meets all hotel audio needs, from daily operations to emergency response.

System Features:

● Distributed network architecture – no dedicated server or proprietary software required, simplifying core deployment.

● Automatic device identification, no IP configuration – truly plug‑and‑play, lowering deployment barriers.

● Highest priority for emergency broadcasts with millisecond‑level response, ensuring safe hotel operations.

● Fine‑grained zone management – supports precise broadcasting to single or multiple zones, avoiding full‑area interference.

● Reuses the hotel’s existing network – no additional cabling needed, significantly reducing deployment costs.

● Intuitive and simple equipment operation – no professional technical training required, easily mastered by regular hotel staff.

II. Core Scenario Requirements for Hotels

(I) Full‑Scenario Atmosphere Creation

Through intelligent playback of background music and scene‑specific sound effects in different areas, the system creates a fitting and comfortable atmosphere for hotel lobbies, dining areas, guest corridors, leisure and entertainment zones, etc., enhancing the guest experience and showcasing the hotel’s service quality.

(II) Precise Information Delivery

Achieves zone‑specific, targeted delivery of daily information such as welcome announcements, check‑in guidance, meal start reminders, lost & found notices, event notifications, etc., balancing information delivery efficiency with guest experience while avoiding irrelevant disturbances.

(III) Emergency Safety Assurance

In emergency situations such as fires or sudden incidents, the system can quickly trigger emergency broadcasts, accurately release evacuation guidance and safety notifications, guide guests and staff to evacuate in an orderly manner, and ensure the safety of life and property within the hotel.

(IV) Pain Points of Traditional Systems

Traditional hotel broadcasting systems rely on servers and proprietary software, resulting in long deployment cycles and complex debugging. They have high operational barriers requiring professional training, leading to significant learning costs. Equipment expansion and adjustments are cumbersome, requiring professional maintenance. Multiple investments in hardware, software, cabling, and operation & maintenance result in high overall costs, making them unable to adapt to the flexible operational and service needs of hotels.

2. Easy Operation – Device and function design aligns with daily hotel operational needs. Intuitive interface and convenient operation reduce staff learning and operating costs, improving operational efficiency.

3. Reliable Emergency Response – Emergency broadcasts are given the highest priority. Millisecond‑level response upon fire signal trigger, automatically overriding background music to provide all‑zone or zone‑specific evacuation guidance, ensuring hotel safety.

4. Flexible Expansion – Distributed network architecture supports free addition or removal of devices and zone adjustments. New devices are automatically recognized upon connection, requiring no professional debugging, adapting to hotel renovation upgrades and zone function changes.

IV. Scenario Applications and Device Introduction

GENDE customizes three core audio devices for hotel scenarios, each adapted to the installation and usage needs of different areas, balancing sound quality, aesthetics, and functionality to achieve “tailored” sound field coverage.

(I) Ceiling Speaker (XT‑720) Application

The ceiling speaker is the preferred device for hotel audio systems. It can be fully embedded into the ceiling, achieving “invisible” sound field coverage without disrupting the hotel’s decoration style. Sound spreads evenly from top to bottom, suitable for indoor areas with moderate ceiling heights and regular ceiling structures, delivering clear and soft sound quality.

Specific Application Scenarios:

● Hotel Lobby –

Welcome announcements, background music, check‑in guidance. Even sound field coverage, complementing the high‑end, comfortable atmosphere of the lobby.

● Dining Area –

Meal start reminders, zone‑specific background music, evacuation guidance. Flexible zoning allows independent playback in different sections, enhancing the dining experience.

● Guest Corridors –

Soothing background music, directional guidance, emergency notifications. Low‑volume playback does not disturb guests in their rooms.

● Leisure & Entertainment Area (Indoor) –

Ambient background music, light notifications. Soft sound quality fits the relaxed setting.

(II) Network Speaker (NC‑BG01) Application

Wall‑mount design, flexible installation, soft sound quality, and a minimalist appearance that easily blends into the hotel’s decor. Suitable for areas with complex wall finishes, where the ceiling cannot be opened for mounting, or where local sound field reinforcement is needed. Supports independent zone control.

Specific Application Scenarios:

● Leisure & Entertainment Area (no ceiling / pool area) –

Energetic background music, safety reminders. Adapts to spaces without a ceiling; installation does not damage the decor.

● Banquet Hall / Meeting Room –

Meeting sound reinforcement, event background music, banquet announcements. Soft sound quality suits multiple scenarios; simple appearance blends in unobtrusively.

● Elevator Lobby / Stairwell –

Soothing music, floor guidance, emergency notifications. Low volume does not disturb guests; wall‑mount installation saves space.

● Service Desk Side / Staff Corridor –

Service call alerts, internal work notifications. Independent zone control ensures precise delivery of work instructions.

(III) Network Sound Column (NC‑YS60) Application

Features powerful sound pressure level and long‑distance coverage capability, supporting highly directional broadcasting. Ideal for hotel areas that require strong sound field coverage, open spaces, or complex structures. Also supports multi‑zone control and remote management, making it the perfect choice for outdoor areas and large banquet halls.

Specific Application Scenarios:

● Hotel Outdoor Areas (Entrance / Parking Lot) –

Vehicle guidance, welcome voice announcements. Long‑distance sound transmission remains clear with strong anti‑interference capability.

● Perimeter Walkways / Green Belts –

Directional guidance, safety warnings, environmental reminders. Highly directional coverage, plus rainproof, dustproof, and high‑temperature resistant design to adapt to outdoor environments.

● Large Outdoor Banquet Hall –

Event sound reinforcement, background music, emergency evacuation broadcasts. Sufficient sound pressure for large spaces, independent zone control, wall‑mount installation saves space.

V. Core System Functions

(I) Broadcast Announcement Function

Supports multiple announcement methods to meet the diverse needs of daily hotel operations, dispatch, and emergency command, enabling precise, flexible, and efficient voice broadcast delivery:
