  • Anti-agent mechanism and behavior audit
  • User isolation and VLAN division
  • Seamless connection with local network supervision departments

2. Requirements in Campus Wireless Coverage

The Classroom

High density of users; requires stable real-time transmission and high-performance equipment. Role-based management for teachers and students.

Gymnasiums & Stadiums

Crowded, high-density terminals during activities. Large open areas requiring strong signal penetration.

Campus & Playground

Large open areas requiring robust full coverage. Must withstand outdoor uncertain weather conditions.

Office & Laboratory

High security requirements; access to different Ethernet and documents based on management systems.

Dormitory

High-speed requirements for video streaming. Signal shielding by walls requires in-wall AP deployment.

E-MAN (Education MAN)

Unified management by the Education Bureau. High security to prevent hacker attacks and centralized maintenance.

3. Functional Requirements

  • Seamless Wireless Coverage: No dead angles, RF optimization, automatic channel selection, L2/L3 roaming.
  • Portal Authentication: Integration with Campus All-in-One Card system and school LDAP database.
  • Internet Billing: Authentication for students, time-based billing, linkage with All-in-One Card system.
  • Behavior Control: Restrict illegal access, prevent private router connections, and punish unauthorized sharing.

5. Network Topology

Architecture: The solution supports both traditional FAT AP and advanced FAT/FIT integrated architectures. It features Cloud Management, Billing Server, Portal Server, and Log Server integration.

Key Components: Core Switch, Edge Switch, Anti-proxy server, NAC (Network Access Control), and various AP types (Teaching Building, Dormitory, Office, Canteen).

Roaming: Supports Fast Seamless Roaming with L3 support, unlike traditional FAT AP which lacks L3 roaming capabilities.

6. Cloud Management System

  • Remote Management: Centralized management of APs, Controllers, NAC, and Switches via the Internet.
  • Plug and Play: Zero configuration, automatic upgrades, and NAT traversal support.
  • Third-party Integration: Connects with various third-party RADIUS and APPs for authentication and billing.
  • Efficiency: Local execution of billing and portal functions for high efficiency and fast authentication.

7. Portal Authentication & Anti-Private Connection

Portal 5W+B Strategy: Customizable authentication based on Who, Where, When, What, Which SSID, and Browser.

Anti-Private Connection System: Prevents users from connecting routers or sharing networks. Features include:

  • White list and sharing restriction support.
  • Blocking processing for serial connections.
  • Alarm notifications via SMS, Email, and Web page.
  • Detailed log records for account embezzlement, time sharing, and IP address violations.

8. Deployment and Implementation Process

  1. Requirement Analysis: Determine deployment goals, business volume, and regional distribution.
  2. Site Survey: Determine coverage range and collect AP basic information.
  3. Expansion Analysis: Analyze capacity expansion requirements based on existing usage.
  4. Project Design: Network topology design, equipment selection, frequency planning, and capacity planning.
  5. Adjustment & Optimization: Monitor network quality and optimize AP deployment for performance.

9. Conclusion

Our school wireless coverage solution provides a comprehensive, secure, and high-density wireless network for modern educational institutions, supporting seamless roaming, unified management, and integrated billing systems.
