In response to the needs analysis of the School of International Management of Wuhan University, NETGEAR provides a complete set of high-performance network solutions. The network structure diagram is as follows:

Overall network layout:

The entire network is in a star topology. We choose the best place to place the wireless hotspot AP in the area where wireless coverage is required on each floor, and ensure the coverage of the wireless signal when placing. We strive to arrange the fewest points in the floor and maximize the coverage. The APs arranged on each floor are connected to the switch in the central computer room through super-five shielded twisted pair cables to achieve centralized management.

Wireless coverage:

As shown in the figure above, we arrange the wireless AP in a reasonable location. The wireless coverage of the arranged wireless AP is as far as possible without blind spots, and the transmission quality is guaranteed.

In the overall design of the wireless network, we focused on the following issues:

In the selection of wireless hotspot APs, the main equipment of the wireless network, the AP must be able to work for a long time; it has good compatibility, can be compatible with various wireless adapters, and it is best to support the current mainstream bandwidth of wireless transmission. It is important to ensure the stability and security of the data.

So we chose NETGEAR 11M multi-function enterprise wireless LAN access point (AP)-ME103. It can provide secure enterprise-level functions at an economical price. This powerful access point product allows staff to continuously access school resources, e-mail, and the Internet at the industry standard 11Mbps rate.

Network connectivity: Good connectivity between computers and other terminal devices is a basic requirement to be met. The network environment is to provide an environment for communication between computer devices that need to communicate in order to achieve a variety of network applications.

Network reliability: Many existing networks not only need to realize data transmission during initial construction, but also must have sufficient redundancy and reliability of the network. Otherwise, once the network fails during operation, the system cannot resume work quickly. The consequence is the loss of students ’time, which affects the reputation and image of the college.
Network security: Network security has very high requirements. The data transmitted in the local area network and the wide area network are very important information, so the data must be kept safe and confidential to prevent illegal eavesdropping and malicious destruction.
Network manageability: Good network management should pay attention to the advance investment of network management manpower and financial resources, and actively control the network, which can not only perform qualitative management, but also quantitatively analyze network traffic and understand network health.

Network scalability: Network construction is a very sensible choice to provide a good expansion interface for future development. As the scale of the college expands, the network expands and upgrades are inevitable problems.
Multimedia support of the network: Due to the maturity of multimedia technologies such as video conferencing, video on demand, and IP telephony, the data transmitted by the network is no longer a single data, and multimedia network transmission has become the trend of world network technology. Focusing on the future, there is a lot of demand for multimedia support on the network.
