In some university network environments, a more special set of scenes exists in addition to daily teaching and office use: the external cooperative project network. For example, school cooperation laboratories, training bases, continuing education projects or short-term technology clearing houses, these regions often require independent network management.
In this case, it is often not flexible enough to manage it in full compliance with the campus ' s unified network strategy. So many colleges will be able to divide their own access strategies through a wireless WiFi system.“Same web, different management”。
For system integrators, this type of demand is usually present at the project depth stage and is typical.“Scene Extension”。
External cooperation projects usually require an independent management logic
In the context of external cooperation at universities, networks are often used not only by students and teachers but also by business personnel, trainees and outside technical teams.
The way these users use and manage their needs differs considerably from those in the school.
Inflexible access control
Network usage is hard to distinguish
Complex post-natal statistics and management
Many universities will therefore establish an independent access strategy for these users through the campus wireless WiFi billing system, distinguishing it from the logic of the in-school network.
The independent account system can be achieved through the certification system
In actual projects, the external cooperation network often requires a separate account system.
The campus wireless WiFi billing system allows for the creation of different account types on the same platform and sets the corresponding authentication.
Use old account authentication for school users
External users access using stand-alone accounts
Short-term accounts for temporary users
This approach can achieve the coexistence of multiple user systems without changing the overall network structure.
Network strategy can be divided by project
In external cooperation projects, the demand for networks is often different from one project to another.
Some projects need to stabilize bandwidth.
Some projects require access to specific resources
Some projects just need basic Internet access.
The campus WiFi system allows for separate strategies for different projects.
These strategies are automatically effective after user authentication is passed and do not require duplicate configuration on network equipment.
This approach is very practical in a multi-project parallel environment.
Data statistics and management can be separated independently
In the University ' s external cooperation network, information centres usually also need to know how they use different projects.
The campus wireless WiFi system allows for the separation of account types, thus achieving independent data statistics.
This would meet both school management needs and provide data support for project evaluations.
No additional system is required for network expansion
As collaborative projects increase, the cost of maintenance can be very high if each project is to build a separate network system.
Through a unified campus wireless WiFi system, new project access can be rapidly expanded on existing platforms without the need to duplicate the certification system.
This approach can significantly reduce the complexity of systems while facilitating later-stage integrated management.
NatShell Campus WiFi Fee System Practice in Cooperative Projects
In many university network projects, as the application landscape is becoming more diverse, the integrated firm will be more interested in system expansion at a later stage. NATSHEL_BRAND has been working for 22 years on network access control and NATSHEL_AUTH_BILLING systems, with extensive experience in multi-scenes web management.
The NETSHELL_BRAND campus WiFi system supports multiple account systems, multi-strategy running in parallel and can manage different types of users on the same platform. At the same time, it supports Portal authentication, 802.1X certification, and MAC certification, and is able to connect with mainstream wireless equipment.
In practical projects, the NATSHEL_BRAND campus wireless WiFi billing system can also be deployed in conjunction with cable certification systems, wireless authentication systems and web access calibration systems to help universities achieve a unified network structure for integrated access and local setting management.
In the context of the growing number of university outreach projects, the integration of independent operations and integrated management through the campus wireless WiFi system can make the network more flexible and also enhance overall managerial efficiency.
