Sports brand office
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Overview
The sports brand company introduced a smart office seating system for
flexible movement. To ensure seamless WiFi connectivity and fast data
transmission, they upgraded their network infrastructure with Zyxel Networks’
solutions, including the USG FLEX 700 firewall, WAX650S AP, and smart
managed switch for wider coverage and improved connectivity. As a result,
employees now experience faster data transfer and uninterrupted WiFi,
enhancing overall productivity and efficiency. Also, by leveraging cloud
networking capabilities, the company can easily monitor the network status
with comprehensive oversight of all installed equipment and services through
the dashboard.
Challenges
To provide employees with the flexibility to move between seats while working
on laptops and tablet PCs, regardless of their location, the company required an
environment with WiFi connectivity remaining uninterrupted during movement.
Additionally, designers and platform developers frequently uploaded large files
such as design proposals and promotional videos to servers and cloud drives.
However, the existing office infrastructure operated on a 1G network, resulting
in significant delays for designers and platform developers when transferring
large files due to traffic bottlenecks. Moreover, positioning wireless APs based
on population density can cause frequent disconnections as devices roam
between closely located APs, leading to connectivity interruptions.
Solutions
Considering customer requirements such as a wireless Internet-oriented work
environment and the need for large-capacity traffic transmission, a backbone
switch, the XS3800-28, supporting 10Gbps on all ports, was deployed to connect
servers and XGS2210-28 L2 switches at 10Gbps, eliminating speed issues due to
insufficient bandwidth.
Additionally, the company deployed the USG FLEX 700
firewall that can automatically balance the traffic load
amongst the available WAN connections to enhance
overall network throughput, thereby reducing bottlenecks
with internal servers.
For wireless access, WAX650S APs were installed to
establish a 5Gbps uplink environment for fast network
connectivity. Equipped with high-performance hardware
and 4x4 smart antennas, they offer a range of around
three times wider than existing WiFi 5 APs, accommodating
more users and reducing potential failure points, such as
minimizing roaming sessions. Moreover, the WiFi QoS
function ensures smooth employee workflow even during
peak traffic periods, maintaining a stable wireless
environment. The network status is monitored by Nebula
cloud networking solution, tracking network traffic usage
and AP status 24/7, keeping the company informed of the
network's health. These APs can create zones within this
kind of office, tailored to accommodate up to 80 users
each, thereby enhancing the environment for smooth
usage of 3 to 4 wireless devices per employee. This setup is
particularly beneficial for individuals with high demands
for data transmission, such as designers.
Results
With a network infrastructure tailored for handling
large-capacity traffic, employees, particularly designers
and platform developers, now enjoy faster data
transmission. This facilitates the quick and efficient
transfer of large files such as design proposals and
promotional videos to servers and cloud drives.
Furthermore, employees experience uninterrupted
productivity thanks to seamless WiFi connectivity as they
move around the office, whether between seats, meeting
rooms, or common areas. Moreover, the adoption of
cloud-based network management ensures a stable
wireless network environment, minimizing downtime
and ultimately enhancing overall operational efficiency.
- Enhanced data transmission through 10Gbps connectivity, enabling smooth handling of large traffic
