The people who have been working on campus projects for a long time know that systems are stable, project managers are relaxed, systems are unstable, and the site is not living up to date. NATSHEL_BRAND has worked in the field of campus networks for 21 years, where we have had more complex real project scenarios than any other manual, and therefore we have also come to an idea of how a system can be located closer to the actual needs of project management.
i. Requirements have never been finalized in one-time terms and campus projects must support dynamic adjustment
Most campus network projects range from bid opening to acceptance, and typically experience at least three rounds of change in demand: package modification, changes in the way real names are certified, access to micro-mail/APP, visitors ' strategy adjustment, multiple exports and certifications, special VLAN release etc.
If you're...Campus Network Authentication & Billing SystemThe structure is not flexible enough to allow project managers to write demand sheets, fill contracts, go through approvals and switch the wheels, thereby prolonging the project cycle indefinitely.
NatShell considers the demand to be normal in designing the system, and we allow the project manager:
-
The package and certification rules are directly adjusted without structural changes.
-
Accommodating no-sense, micro-letter and text message authentication is used whenever the system is online.
-
(c) Rapidly establish differentiated strategies between dormitories, teaching areas and office areas.
-
Extension of authentication nodes or billing nodes without restarting or interruption of the current network.
For the project manager, this means that there's no need to change demand.“Fear.”The system itself is prepared for change.
II. Deployment is not speed, but accuracy: less back-to-work on site is the key to the project
What's the worst thing about school projects? Not work-time.“Back to work.”. Once back, not only delays in time but also impacts on key nodes such as school classes, accommodations and examinations, where the project manager is under severe pressure.
NatShellCampus Network Authentication & Billing SystemI've done a lot on the deployment process.“Project manager friendly design”：
1. Configure templates
Whether it is a dormitory building or 15 buildings, we have a template strategy tool that can:
-
Auto Generate Building Policy
-
Batch into device template
-
Volume-down authentication rules
The construction team would simply have to follow the building number and would not cause large rollbacks due to manual recording of VLAN or IP.
2. Auto-Top Identification
The project manager does not have to make eye-to-eye confirmation of the existence of a private router, an illegal switch or an unusual DHCP.
The system automatically scans the network, real-time marking of problem points and significantly reduces construction risks.
Pre-testing mechanism
The system will authenticate each building, each AP area before it is online and discovers in advance:
-
Gateway Strategy Conflict
-
Conflicting rules on costing
-
DHCP Unusual
-
Authorization release incomplete
It's more traditional than tradition.“Wait for the complaint.”Save too much time.
III. The physical environment in which schools are used determines the need for a strong fit-out capability of the system
School web environments are often not new structures, but rather“Old + new #”Spelling:
-
The dorm room switch could be used for over 10 years.
-
Some buildings have irregular wiring.
-
Three major operators have mixed access to the export
-
Different levels of equipment used
-
IOT devices with frequent access
-
Private switchboards, light cats are common.
The system must be capable of handling these complexities, otherwise the project manager will always be there.“Fire.”。
NatShellCampus Network Authentication & Billing SystemSupport:
-
Multi-generation equipment mixup
-
Multiple-export loads
-
API docking (campus APP, restricted doors, new systems etc.)
-
Auto-stopped abnormal devices
-
AutoID for share violation
-
Automatically check accounts/equipment conflicts
For the project manager, this is to ensure that it doesn't appear when it gets online.“Uncontrolled accidents”Core safeguards.
IV. Accreditation experience is the most important indicator of school concern: fewer windows, quick responses, no sense
The most common message the project manager heard in the campus project was:
“Students complain too much and we can't handle it.”
The largest number of complaints was never in bandwidth, but in a certified experience.
A mature one.Campus Network Authentication & Billing SystemMust be satisfied“Come on, steady. Don't bother.”。
1. Quick
The authentication page must be millisecond-scale loading speed, especially micromail, APP, SMS authentication.
The NATSHEL_BRAND authentication server is equipped with local caches and intelligent streams, which stabilize the certification response in very low delay areas.
2. Steady
The certification success rate is very high.
Otherwise, students will be rejuvenated and jumping out of their way, creating additional stress.
3. Leave no room for interruptions
Sensitization is the most popular model for campuses, and once students pass their first test, they do not have to log in frequently.
In particular, the network of dormitories will increase explosively if late peaks are to be repeated on the certification page.
NATSHEL_BRAND has developed the apathy process very well, through MAC+IP+ strategic links to ensure that students do not need to repeat certification in most cases.
V. The billing is not a simple deduction, but a complete system of revenue management
The issue of costing is not a technical one but a question of trust in the campus.
Once students are found to have withheld fees, the Information Section will question the reliability of the system at first instance.
The NATSHEL_BRAND system has been refined in depth in the following areas:
1. Exact time-based budgeting
The system can accurately accumulate online time, no matter how many times students break the Internet.
2. Real-time calibration by flow
Even if temporary deviations from exports occurred, the accuracy of the billing would not be affected.
Real-time effect of package changes
Students need not wait for a different set of meals to be replaced by a direct switch strategy.
4. Charges are immediately received
No manual clearance or manual entry is required to improve management efficiency.
5. Retroactivity of the account details
All deductions are clearly identifiable and in such a way as to avoid disputes.
Transparency of fees at this level is more acceptable for schools.
For project managers, this means fewer complaints and easier management.
VI. Maintenance costs after the project is online, determining whether the project will make money or lose
The campus project is not.“The delivery ends.”If the system is not stable, the project manager will face the sale of the endless.

-
Remote maintenance
-

-

-

-

-

This level of transportation is such that most problems are not on the ground and require a significant amount of manpower.
A stable system is a guarantee of long-term benefits and repurchase for the integrated firm.
As campus network, everyone knows:
-
Limited profit from one construction
-
The real profit comes from the follow-up maintenance and expansion.
-
The more stable the system, the longer it works.
-
The more trust the school will have, the more it will increase its budget.
-
The more the project goes, the easier it is to take down other schools.
NATSHEL_BRAND has been adopted by a large number of integrated players for long periods not only because of price and stability, but also because we have allowed project managers to minimize uncertainty in campus projects, making the project cycle, construction costs and post-sale risks manageable.
For a campus network such a varied and complex landscape, a truly durable campus network Authentication & Billing system is the bottom-line guarantee of the overall project profit model.
