Wired to Wireless: How to Build a Flexible Mobile Office Infrastructure
1.
Construction Background
With the continuous development of enterprise office informatization and the trend of mobile office, many
enterprises are gradually improving their traditional wired networking methods and beginning to build more
convenient, mobile, and flexible wireless access networks to meet their own development needs.
Therefore, building a high-speed and flexible mobile office network has become a common demand for many
enterprises. At this stage, wireless networks often serve as a transformation and supplement to existing wired
networks. Therefore, when constructing mobile office networks, most enterprises require seamless
integration between wired and wireless networks, with consistent user experience across both.
Current small and medium-sized enterprises have the following requirements for wireless office networks:
1. Wireless Internet Access: Users can access the Internet at high speed and stably by connecting smart
terminals such as WIFI-enabled laptops, PDAs, and mobile phones to the WLAN, solving the problem of
employees accessing the Internet and querying information anytime and anywhere.
2. Secure Access: Supports multiple wireless security protection measures to resist common wireless network
security threats such as phishing APs.
3. Unified Authentication: Adopts a secure and reliable authentication mechanism, allowing only authorized
users to access the network and perform mobile office applications such as browsing, approval, and email
sending/receiving through the local area network.
4. Stability and Reliability: Wireless devices have high reliability; support radio frequency optimization and
coverage compensation, ensure service continuity, reduce network impact, and enhance network reliability.
5. Convenient Operation and Maintenance: Supports simple and easy-to-use management methods,
reducing maintenance difficulty and labor costs
2. Enterprise Wireless Office Network Solution Design
The construction content of the enterprise wireless office network solution is as follows:
This solution combines the user's wireless network requirements with the technical characteristics of the
product to build a high-speed, stable, secure, reliable, and easy-to-manage wireless access network for the
user.1. Terminal Access Side: Adopts thin AP deployment, scenario-based deployment according to the user's site,
supports industry wireless protocol technologies, and automatic radio frequency optimization. It can meet
the needs of full coverage and seamless roaming, reduce co-channel interference, and improve the customer
experience of wireless access.
2. Data Bearer Network: Uses gigabit switches to power APs via PoE (Power over Ethernet), reducing
deployment costs and difficulty.
3. Operation and Control Platform: Adopts a graphical network management platform for simpler
maintenance, supports integrated wired and wireless management, and allows wireless network maintenance
via mobile APP.
4. Access Security Design: Provides user management, access control, visitor management and other
functions with rich and flexible authentication forms. It can assign different permissions based on different
user identities, and supports wireless security protection capabilities such as phishing AP countermeasures
and WAPI.
5. Wide Area Network Interconnection: For branch nodes, the VPN functionality of multi-service gateways can
be used to achieve secure interconnection between multiple branch nodes.
3. Solution Value
1. Rich wireless security mechanisms, providing end-to-end security policies from secure access to secure
Internet access
2. Scenario-based deployment ensures network access in crowded areas such as meeting rooms and lecture
halls, solving the problem of insufficient wired network ports;
3. Convenient management methods, supporting diverse wireless management solutions such as quick
deployment, APP management, and remote maintenance
4. High security protection with PPSK authentication method, achieving "one person, one device, one
password" high security protection
5. Internal employees can quickly work mobile within the enterprise building using their own office devices,
with faster network access. The Internet behavior management system audits and controls employees' online
behavior
6. Visiting clients accessing the enterprise network can be assigned different Internet access permissions
according to different needs, ensuring access security while improving the public's Internet experience
7. Supports rich authentication mechanisms to meet enterprises' needs for secure and fast wireless network
access
