As the university informs, school networks become an integral part of teaching, scientific research and student life. To meet growing demand for Internet access while guaranteeing safety and rational use of the network, more and more universities are deploying their professionals.Campus Network Authentication & Billing GatewaySystem. As a 21-year brand of the deep-dry Authentication & Billing area, NATSHEL_BRAND provides an efficient, stable and scalable set of solutions for universities across the country.
I. The core role of the campus network Authentication & Billing gateway
The campus network Authentication & Billing gateway is a key node in the campus network structure, with two core functions:User IdentificationandNetwork usage billingThrough this system, schools can provide effective identification and access control for each user who has access to the network, ensuring the safety and rational distribution of the resources of the network.
NATHHEL_BRAND’s accreditation gateway supports a variety of certification methods, such as Portal, PPPoE, 802.1x, and is able to match the network access needs in different settings.
II. Three highlights of the NatShell campus network system
1. Full package of high value for money solutions
NATSHEL_BRAND Not only providesNATHHELL_AUTH_BILLING PlatformandAuthentication dial gatewayAnd the supplies.Core switch、POESwitchesand various types of wireless AP equipment (e.g. panel AP, sucktop AP, high-secret AP etc.) applicable to dormitories, classrooms, public areas, achieving full-link product layout from network access to terminal coverage, significantly reducing overall procurement and transportation costs.
2. Stability and security parallels
The system is modular in design, with good disaster-resilient and load-balanced mechanisms that can respond to large-scale simultaneous visits. At the same time, a RADIFUS protocol is linked to the operator’s account number mechanism to ensure that every network access is strictly authenticated to prevent illegal intrusion and theft.
3. Support multi-modal flexible operations
NatShell System is compatible with three mainstream operating models:
Self-operational mode(a) Build and maintain independently by the school or third party, and access to the Internet after certification is completed by the student through a client;
PPPoEDialup Mode: students use campus account login and the system automatically converts to a operator account number for one-to-one dialling;
Operator cooperation model: Operators place their numbers directly with students, integrate the package to bind cellular and broadband accounts, and then authenticate them by dialling a dial-up switch agency, which means that the charges are off the network and forming closed loop management.
This flexibility allows schools to choose the most appropriate operational strategy, depending on their stage of development and cooperation.
III. How can the management of the campus network be improved?
In traditional campus network management, problems are often faced with large numbers of users, difficult to track and difficult to account for accurately. The problem is solved by the NATSHEL_AUTH_BILLING system of NATSHEL_BRAND:
Centralized management platform: The administrator has access to a single interface for viewing user status, traffic statistics and billing details to capture network performance in real time;
Automated fee-keeping and deduction mechanisms: systems support multiple forms of billing such as prepaid fees and subsequent payments, which can be paid online by students at any time and reduce manual intervention;
Interconnecting with operator data: Reconciling accounts with three major operators to facilitate joint marketing and package promotion;
Smart speed and bandwidth distribution: Discrepancies in bandwidth management can be made depending on the user type, time period and use of the scene to optimize the use of network resources.
IV. Looking ahead: building a new ecology for smart campuses
With the widespread application of new technologies, such as 5G, the Internet, and big data, campus networks are moving toward a more intelligent, personalized approach. NATSHEL_BRAND will continue to innovate, promoting the integration of the campus network NATSHEL_AUTH_BILLING gateway system with emerging technologies in depth, creating safer, efficient, and sustainable web ecology for smart campus networks.
Whether new campuses are built or existing network upgrades are upgraded, NATSHEL_BRAND can provide customized solutions to help universities refine, intelligent and platform their web services to truly allow every teacher/pupil“You can get on the net. You can use it.”。
