Internet Technology for Apartment Complexes Expands to Hotels! Achieving up to 1.7Gbps Communication Environment with Existing Telephone Lines
Ai.Connect Inc. (Headquarters: Utsunomiya, Tochigi; CEO: Yusuke Matsunaga; hereinafter "Ai.Connect") is pleased to announce that its communication solution, "AInet Metal fast," which provides a high-speed internet environment by utilizing existing telephone lines, has been installed at the "Mikawa Bay Resort Linx" accommodation facility in Nishio City, Aichi Prefecture.
Until now, this service has been primarily offered as an internet service for multi-dwelling units such as apartments and condominiums. This installation serves as a case study confirming its applicability in hotels and resort facilities. The ability to upgrade the communication environment without building renovations or new wiring工事 was highly evaluated, and it is expected to become a new option for improving the communication infrastructure of existing facilities.
Background
In recent years, the internet environment in accommodation facilities has become a critical infrastructure that influences customer satisfaction. With the spread of telework and the increased use of video streaming services, more and more users are seeking high-speed, stable communication environments even when they are away from home.
On the other hand, many existing hotels and resort facilities use VDSL internet equipment that relies on telephone lines, facing challenges with limited communication speeds and unstable connections. Furthermore, in many existing buildings, new wiring work is difficult, and many facilities are unable to upgrade their communication infrastructure.
"AInet Metal fast," provided by Ai.Connect, is a communication solution that has been primarily installed in multi-dwelling units. However, due to its ability to utilize existing wiring, it is gaining attention as a technology that can also be applied to improve the communication environment in existing buildings such as hotels and resort facilities.

Comments from the Facility Manager
Q: What challenges did you face before the installation?
Around 2019, internet connectivity, especially Wi-Fi, became increasingly important as an infrastructure for accommodation facilities. Our facility was operating on a VDSL system using telephone lines, but it was difficult to improve communication speed, and we received feedback from users about slow and unstable connections.
Q: Why did you choose "AInet Metal fast"?
Due to the building's structure, it was difficult to re-run new wired lines. We considered installing access points in the hallways, but found that the signal would not reach inside the guest rooms. While searching for a method that could utilize existing wiring, we learned about "AInet Metal fast" and decided to implement it.
Q: What changes or effects have you seen since the installation?
The connection and post-connection stability have improved significantly. Previously, remote meetings could be unstable, but now we have an environment where they can be used without such worries. In the future, we would like to consider introducing facilities and services that utilize the network as an infrastructure.
Future Outlook
Through this installation case, it has been shown that "AInet Metal fast" has the potential to be an effective communication solution not only for multi-dwelling units but also for accommodation facilities such as hotels and resort facilities.
Ai.Connect plans to support the renewal of communication infrastructure in existing buildings, with an eye toward expanding installations in accommodation and tourism facilities in the future.
