-
Businesses have to fix the public network, but apartment households don't need it.
-
Businesses demand segregation, but apartments require free access by their own route
-
Businesses want to have a fixed monthly fee, apartments want to support short-term rental temporary charges
-
High office traffic, high night peaks in apartments, and conflict-prone bandwidth movement
-
Both users are self-help managers, but the needs are quite different.
In this structure,Broadband billing systemIt is not an option, but a core module that is bound to be messy, poorly done or otherwise.
This piece, I'll take it.“Broadband billing system”It's very detailed where they are deployed, how the bill is designed, how the strategy is sent out, how the equipment matches, how stability is guaranteed and what NATSHEL_BRAND can provide in this scenario.
Keywords“Broadband billing system”It's natural. No stacking, no mechanics.
I. Where should broadband billing systems be deployed in the hybrid complex project?
The mixed network of apartments + commercial buildings is usually composed of two types of lines:
-
Commercial clothing area (commercial floor): Shops, offices, restaurants, convenience stores
-
Apartment area (houseside residence): Long lease + Short lease mix
The network structure and the costing requirements of both scenarios are quite different, so“Broadband billing system”, the deployment is stratified.
1. Main engine room (weak power centre) with core billing + gateway control layer
This is the basis for all mixed projects:
-
Broadband system back-office(Certifying servers, billing servers)
-
NATHHELL_AUTH_BILLING Gateway (NATSHEL_BRAND Self-research hardware)
-
Core switch / bandwidth management device
Network data streams will be assembled from all floors and processed by broadband billing systems.
Why must the core be in the mainframe room?
-
All users have access to a broadband system and avoid wiping.
-
Accommodating zoning control strategy (consumption/ commercial building different rules)
-
Bandwidth is distributed in a uniform way, not taken by one of them.
This is a prerequisite for the steady operation of hybrid projects.
2. Apartment floor: floor switch + panel AP + Auto-ID + package management
Apartment users are characterized by large numbers, frequent variations, late peak concentration and variety of packages.
The broadband system is primarily responsible for:
-
Automatically identify users
-
Self-service payments
-
- By room number.
-
Long lease / Short lease suite
-
Maximum bandwidth distribution
The modalities for deployment are generally:
-
Floor exchange → Weak electrical booths → Host room → Broadband billing system
-
Panel AP for each room (our regular PEE+Panel AP package)
More use at the end of the apartment:
-
Portal Authentication
-
MAC Auto Release
-
The cleaning fee is open.
-
The number of the house is set.
The simpler the better, because apartment households have limited patience for operation.
3. Commercial floor: stand-alone access point + PPPoE priority + bandwidth guarantee
Businesses and office users require a much higher degree of bandwidth stability than apartments:
-
Videoconferencing
-
POS System
-
Cashiers
-
Small Servers
-
Monitor back
Commercial floors are therefore generally used for:
-
PPOE Account Authentication (Mainstream)
-
Or fixed IP+MAC binding (commonly used in chains)
-
Or a doorkeep independent VLAN (large and medium-sized business projects common)
Broadband billing systems do not function here as simple costing, but rather:
-
Make sure the commercial bandwidth is not stolen by apartment users.
-
Businesses are allowed to buy a fixed rate package on demand
-
It's a traffic control.
-
It's a very simple, linear experience.
For commercial users, stability is core competitiveness.
II. What are the key functions of broadband billing systems that must be available in a mixed network of apartments and businesses?
The five most critical points below are frequently used in bids or programme presentations.
1. Apartment areas and commercial zones“Divisional separate fee system”
Broadband billing systems need support:
-
Apartment areas: housing number count, monthly card, weekly card, daily card, short rental suite
-
Commercial area: Fixed bandwidth package, fixed IP set, flow package, long-range package
The broadband billing system provided by NatShell is specialMulti-division billing engine, which could:
-
One system runs two different logics at the same time.
-
A back-office independent of both users
-
A network-based multi-counting model is not interfered with.
This is critical for the complex.
2. Maximum time-time bandwidth security
The peaks are different for both categories of users:
-
Commercial area: daytime
-
Apartment area: at night
If there is no bandwidth control system, they take each other.
NatShell has a broadband billing system withSmart Stream + Time-Spanning Policy：
-
Daytime priority commercial area
-
The priority apartment area at night.
-
Apartment blocks can also be divided by speed limits, avoiding individual household shock bandwidth.
This strategy is not a big factory, but rather the real needs that we have drawn out in a large number of projects.
3. “No, no, no.”Certification mechanism (business office scenario is particularly important)
The fall would make the business very distasteful.
NATSHEL_BRAND has three levels of protection in the broadband system:
-
PPoE Online Maintenance Mechanism
-
Portal AutoRegnosis
-
MAC Automatic Learning
As long as the user has not changed equipment and has not jumped VLAN, it will not be easily kicked offline.
This is very important in the commercial building project.
Self-service opening, self-sustainment and self-help conversion packages for users
In particular, apartment users do not want to handle cards manually.
Broadband billing system support:
-
The cleaning fee.
-
Auto-identify room number.
-
It's live.
-
Weds/Pays Auto Retention
-
Self-help view remaining duration, bandwidth
This puts the pressure on the property from 100 to 10.
5. Broadband billing system connected to the full chain of peripheral equipment
NATHHEL_BRAND, due to full self-research of software and hardware, has the advantage of:
-
NATHHELL_AUTH_GATEWAY
-
Conveyor Switch
-
PoE Switch
-
Panel AP/ Commercial AP
-
Broadband system back-office
The whole chain is compatible. It's not gonna show up.“You're a liar.”Situation.
For the integratedrs, this saves at least 30% of time and 60% of sales after sale.
III. How can the long-term stability of mixed networks be ensured?
The size of the complaints in the event of problems with the complex is enormous, so that broadband systems must be sufficiently stable.
NATHHEL_BRAND focuses on these projects:
-
Double-heat/ cluster deployment (optional)
-
Accounting compensatory mechanisms, power outages without effect on billing
-
Control of currents against attacks, storms and peak shocks
-
Real-time monitoring by online users
-
Broadband billing system Log Audit
This is the bottom-line capability of a complex project to run for long periods.
IV. Reasons for which ICs are widely favoured: prices + stability + simple deployment
NATSHEL_BRAND is frequently selected for the complex:
-
Broadband billing system stable and low deceleration rate
-
The system can support multiple billing partitions flexibly
-
Businesses and apartments are not disturbed.
-
Integrated devices, compatibility free of pressure
-
21 years of experience, mature programme
-
Prices are extremely advantageous: 20% below the same product–40%
For the integrated agent:
-
It's easier to bid.
-
Māori is more stable.
-
It's lighter after sale.
-
The network is cleaner.
Those who actually do projects know that once the complex network is disrupted, even a new system will not be easy to remedy and therefore the first option must be robust.
