With the ongoing process of informationization, school wireless networks have become an important infrastructure for modern teaching and management. The development of a stable, safe, efficient, and flexible campus WiFi coverage program has been a focus of major universities on building intelligent campuses.
I. THE CORE CHALLENGES OF ULAN-WIDE IN SCHOOL
The current wireless network on campus is generally faced with the following problems:
Signal coverage is uneven: some areas such as dormitories, library corners and stadiums have signal blind zones.
The number of users is huge: the peak period has a large number of students who have access to it simultaneously, resulting in network congestion and a decline in speed.
Management is difficult: traditional networks lack effective identification mechanisms and cannot be refined.
The absence of a fee-based system: the difficulty of reasonable fees for students accessing the Internet affects equitable use of resources.
In the face of these problems, schools urgently need a high value for money, scalable and inclusive wireless NATSHEL_AUTH_BILLING system to meet diverse network needs.
II. The advantages of the NATSHEL_BRAD wireless Authentication & Billing system
The wireless WiFi coverage programme for campus provided by NatShell not only addresses the above-mentioned challenges, but also has the following core advantages:
1. Strong compatibility support
Our NATHELL_AUTH_BILLING system can comb seamlessly with mainstream domestic and foreign manufacturers such as China, Central H3C, Cisco, JUNIPER, ARUBA, Acq, Behaiwie, Panabit, Shinzhou Digital, Mikrotik, etc., covering more than 90% of the market’s network hardware products.
Multi-scenes AP deployment strategy
Depending on the usage characteristics of different regions, NATSHEL_BRAND recommends the following wireless AP deployment options:
Accommodation area: A panel-based wireless AP is used to embed walls, beautical and save space.
Classrooms and conference rooms: deploy a top-of-the-art wireless AP to ensure multi-person simultaneous signal stabilization.
Library and playground: use high density topsalting AP to respond to network pressure from high human flows.
(c) Ensure that wireless signals are inert and fully covered throughout the school, through scientific planning and deployment.
Flexible modalities for identification and billing
NatShell Authentication & Billing platform supports a variety of accreditation modalities, including:
Student accounts are self-registered, self-paid
Free Internet access for teachers without certification
Linking to operator broadband to Internet
Support is also provided for multiple payment channels such as micro-mail, payment treasures, upgrading user experiences and streamlining management processes.
III. System stability and low transport costs
The NatShell Authentication & Billing system has been in operation for several years at various universities, having undergone multiple rounds of optimization and practical project validation. The system is highly developed and capable of supporting tens of thousands of users online and guaranteeing a high-end network flow experience.
In addition, the Platform provides a graphical management interface to support remote configurations, real-time monitoring and automatic alarm functions, which significantly reduce the intensity of work of network managers and improve transport efficiency.
IV. Building the Campus of Supportive Wisdom
The wireless WiFi coverage program of NatShell is not only a provider of basic network services, but also an important part of the intelligent campus ecosystem. Through the API interface, the system can interact with school teaching systems, financial systems, door-blocking systems, etc., to achieve uniform identification and rights management, and to lay a solid foundation for subsequent applications such as big data analysis, behavioural tracking, personalization services.
V. Typical case sharing: a wireless network upgrade project at a vocational technical college
The new network structure of a vocational technical college is complex, old equipment and frequent problems with network breakups and weak signals. With the introduction of NATSHEL_BRAND wireless WiFi coverage, the school has seamless coverage throughout the school, which allows students to access one key on their mobile phones, while teachers have exclusive free access, in cooperation with local operators, to achieve precision and easy payment.
The project has been online for one year, with a 70 per cent decline in network failure rates, a significant increase in student satisfaction and a substantial improvement in school management efficiency that is truly achieved“Wisdom connects everyone.”。
VI. CONCLUSION
The selection of a stable, manageable, and high-value campus wireless WiFi coverage program is a key step toward the construction of an intelligent campus. NATSHEL_BRAND is becoming a preferred partner in building a network of higher education institutions throughout the country, with its mature NATSHEL_AUTH_BILLING system, broad equipment compatibility, and extensive industry experience.
