H3C Wireless Office Network Solution for Enterprises

1. Background

With the continuous development of enterprise office informatization and mobile office, many enterprises are gradually upgrading the wired networks and starting to build wireless access networks, which are more convenient and have strong mobility, to meet their development needs.

Therefore, it has become a common demand of many enterprises to build a high-speed, flexible mobile office network. At present, a wireless network often serves as an upgrade and supplement to the existing wired network. Therefore, when building a mobile office network, most enterprises require seamless integration of the wired and wireless networks with consistent user experience.

Demands of the wireless office network for small- and medium-sized enterprises:

1. Wireless Internet: Users can visit the Internet at high speed and stably via Wi-Fi when using Wi-Fi-enabled smart endpoints such as laptops, PDAs, and mobile phones to access. This enables employees to surf the Internet and query data anytime and anywhere.

2. Secure access: Supports multiple security measures to resist common wireless network security threats, such as phishing APs.

3. Unified authentication: Secure and reliable authentication mechanisms enable only authorized users to access the network to view, approve, and send/receive emails via LAN.

4. High stability and reliability: Wireless devices have high reliability; Support radio calibration and filling of coverage holes to improve service continuity, reduce the impact on the network, and enhance network reliability.

5. Ease of O&M: Supports simple and easy management mode to reduce maintenance difficulty and labor costs.

2. Solution design

The content of the wireless office network solution for enterprises is as follows:

This solution combines user needs for wireless networks and H3C technical features to construct a high-speed, stable and secure wireless access network featuring high reliability and ease of management.

1. Endpoint access side: Deployed in the thin AP mode, the solution can be deployed according to users' on-site scenarios. It supports Wi-Fi technologies in the industry and automatic radio calibration, which can meet the needs of full-range coverage and seamless roaming, reduce co-channel interference, and improve customer experience.

2. Bearer network: Uses a gigabit switch to supply power to APs via PoE, reducing deployment costs and deployment difficulties.

3. O&M and control platform: Uses a graphic network management platform, enabling easier maintenance; Supports integrated management of the wired and wireless networks; Supports the maintenance of wireless network via apps on mobile phones.

4. Access security design: Provides functions such as user management, access control, and visitor management, supports rich authentication forms to enable the delivery of different rights in terms of the user's identity, and supports wireless security protection such as AP phishing countermeasures and WAPI.

5. WAN interconnection: The VPN function of the multi-service gateway enables the interconnection of multi-branch nodes.

3. Benefits

1. Rich wireless security mechanisms provide end-to-end security policies from secure access to secure Internet surfing.

2. Scenario-based deployment safeguards network access in densely populated areas such as meeting rooms and lecture halls, solving the problems of insufficient network interfaces.

3. It provides a convenient management mode that supports diverse wireless management schemes such as fast deployment, app management, and remote O&M.

4. PPSK authentication enables one password for a single device and a person, which provides high-level security protection.

5. Internal employees can use a mobile network for work in the corporate building on their own office equipment, with faster network access. The online behavior management system audits and controls employees' network behaviors.

6. It allocates different network authentication on-demand for visitors who have a need to access the corporate network. This ensures network access security and user experience.

7. It supports rich authentication mechanisms to meet enterprises' needs of wireless network security and fast access.
