Project
We designed a Campus Area Network ‘CAN’ for a client with 50% coverage of the institution’s 250 Hectares land size. The CAN is to be accessible by 30,000+ students via public WiFi with free access to school resources and restricted access to the internet.
The campus network architecture is designed to accommodate multiple application servers and school services, achieve optimal speed, manage thousands of concurrent users, scalable and highly secure.
We provided the institution with their own internet and intranet networks as a seamless turnkey solution. Through the simple yet powerful architecture, the institution can easily deploy plug-and-play access points across the campus to be ready in hours.
Solution
Campus Area Network
We set up local area networks for different sections of the institution which are interconnected and managed at a NOC – a central hub to control all network resources, manage users, connectivity and security.
Management
The CAN was designed with a centralized control to allow the institution manage everything in-house where administrators have full control over their infrastructure, quality of service and security policies.
Security
In this set-up, security is centralized and managed by an in-house IT department; however, we also serve as the outsourced managed service provider. All security and policy management comes from a single location, allowing the institution to operate and scale with more confidence and ease.
We configure different firewall rules for each site and administrators can copy and apply to new sites as they emerge; policies like quality of service and network access are uniformly applied to all sites to meet needs of the institution’s staff and students.
Speed
The CAN is designed to process huge traffic over a local connection, with data rates significantly higher than traffic that has to travel across the internet over public infrastructure to reach its destination. Users at one site can quickly share large files with someone over the school intranet and vice versa. Data storage, retrieval and transfer is made possible via wireless access points, fiber backhauls, and Ethernet based backbone network infrastructure.
Today, the institution uses the Campus Area Network and Enterprise Internet Connectivity to support their tens of thousands of staff, students, and visitors with coverage across indoor and outdoor areas.
Administrators manage their access points as well as device policies from a single location, allowing secure and segmented access for both students and staff.
