As the University ' s information system continues to evolve, the campus network has been built up.“It's online.”Head“Good management, good operation.”In this context, the traditional model of loose network management is no longer able to meet the growing demand for user and resource allocation.Campus network billing systemNATSHEL_BRAND, a leading provider of network certification and billing solutions in the country, has introduced a campus network billing system that is compatible, stable, and manageable, and that builds a scientific and efficient web-based operating system for higher education institutions.
I. Multimodal costing, flexible to fit different scenario needs
NATSHEL_BRAND campus network billing system supports a variety of costing methods, including time-based, flow-by-flow, monthly packages, prepaid fees, and subsequent payments, that allow flexible allocation of fee-counting strategies based on different user groups (e.g. students, teachers, visitors) and the use of scenarios (e.g. dormitories, teaching areas, libraries, laboratories). This diversified costing mechanism not only increases resource utilization but also enhances users’ autonomy.
In addition, the system supports the alignment of accounts with operators and the application of a proxy certification plus fee approach to achieve precision deduction fees, avoid waste of resources and apply to school self-establishment networks or models of cooperation between schools.
II. Data transparency and improved efficiency in financial management
Another major advantage of the campus network billing system is its strong data-processing capability. The system allows for real-time recording of information on Internet access time, traffic consumption, charging records etc. for each user and generates detailed financial statements that facilitate accounting closure and auditing by schools or cooperative operators.
This transparent approach to data management not only enhances the accuracy and efficiency of financial management, but also provides a strong statistical support for schools in developing sound network fee policies.
Self-help services to enhance user experience
To enhance teacher-pupil use, NATSHEL_BRAND campus network billing system has been incorporated into a self-service platform that allows users to complete registration, charging, querying, filing and other processes through various channels such as Web portals, MicroCity Public, mobile phone APPs, etc. without going to manual windows.
For teachers, the system supports free-of-certification access to the Internet; for students, flexible contribution portals and multiple payment modalities (e.g. micro-mail, payment treasure, silver union) have greatly improved accessibility.
High compatibility design, adapted to mainstream network equipment
The system can be seamlessly interfaced with the network equipment of mainstream domestic and foreign manufacturers such as H3C, Cisco, Junictor, ARUBA, Acqiao, Panabit, Shinju digital, sea spiders, Mikrotik, Behaiwi, Sakamoto and Hanmin, covering more than 90 per cent of the market equipment types to ensure smooth deployment without replacing existing hardware.
Whether new campuses or old network re-engineering projects, NATSHEL_BRAND campus web billing systems can be quickly online and significantly reduce implementation costs and cycles.
V. Smart lifts, reducing administrative complexity
The system is equipped with smart transportation platforms that support remote configuration, log analysis, alarm alerts and user behavioral analysis to help managers have a full view of network performance. Through visualization interfaces, managers can easily view key indicators such as usage, billing details, failure trends from each region, and thus make more scientific decisions.
At the same time, the system supports multilevel access management to ensure that different players (e.g. supermanagers, department administrators, ordinary users) have corresponding operational competencies and enhance security and managerial efficiency.
VI. High value for money and wide application to various types of higher education
NATSHEL_BRAND Campus Network Billing System (NTSHELL_BRAND) is designed to be a modular structure and flexible extension, applying both to small and medium-sized colleges and to the complex network environment of large integrated universities. Its deployment costs are lower, its maintenance is easier at later stages, and its overall value for money advantages are clear compared with the statistical fees programme.
At present, the system has been successfully applied in thousands of higher schools throughout the country and is well received by users at various levels of education such as undergraduates, senior colleges and independent colleges.
Concluding remarks
Faced with the increasingly complex requirements for managing campus networks, NATSHEL_BRAND’s campus network billing system, which is based on a stable technological architecture, flexible fee-splitting mechanisms, intelligent management tools and excellent value for money, has become an ideal option for many higher education institutions to achieve sophisticated web operations. In the future, we will continuously optimize product performance, deepen service capabilities, and contribute more to building smart campuses.
