Internet cafe Wireless Network Solutions

With the widespread promotion of Internet in the world and the rapid increase in the number of users, Internet has become a hot topic in global communication. As a rising star in the information industry, China's network is developing rapidly.
Based on the access status of the domestic network, Internet users in public places such as Internet cafes account for a large proportion, and Internet cafes or coffee houses appear as common places on the Internet, with a comfortable and loose Internet access environment and fast and convenient Internet access services, more and more Internet users are attracted to visit the site. As a result, the number of Internet users is growing rapidly, internet cafes have long been accepted by users. Internet cafes in major cities have developed rapidly, from the first few computers to dozens or even hundreds of computers. Internet cafes, large and small, have spread all over the country, whether in large and medium-sized cities or small cities until very small county towns. At the same time, with the increase of Internet cafes, the competition between industries is becoming increasingly fierce, internet cafe cost control, operation performance, management and maintenance are all extremely important factors. Therefore, it is particularly important to design and implement a low-cost, high-performance, and easy-to-manage Internet cafe network solution.

Main functions of Internet cafes

Internet cafes have the following functions:

· Basic Internet functions:

Users can browse webpages, chat, send and receive emails, and other basic online functions in Internet cafes.

· Special application features:

Users can freely and securely use real-time communication tools such as QQ, MSN, and Netmeeting in INTERNET cafes, and clients that can use various INTERNET services to enjoy various network services and support various online games.

· Value-added Service functions:

Users can enjoy value-added services provided by servers in the LAN, such as watching movies and playing games, in Internet cafes.

Internet cafe Design Principles

· Ensures high speed and efficiency of the Network

Internet cafes are especially concentrated networks of information points and are relatively simple to manage. The high speed and low latency of the network will be the top priority in the design of Internet cafes.

· Focus on the effectiveness and economics of networks

Internet cafe applications are relatively single, and there are not many additional functions. Therefore, there is no need to select products with high grades in terms of device selection. This is practical and sufficient. The solution should have a high price-performance ratio.

· Ensuring the stability of Internet cafes

The data traffic in Internet cafes is generally relatively large, so the devices selected by the solution must have good stability and high-load working ability.

· Focus on the scalability of Internet cafes

When designing the internet cafe network, pay attention to the convenience of network expansion and upgrade as the business increases.

Internet cafe Network Design

· Network Design of a private-disk Internet cafe

Medium-and large-sized 100 users) because of the large scale, centralized information, and a large number of workstations, the central switch must have high-speed data forwarding and processing capabilities and support Gigabit high-speed connection with servers, in fact, there are no special requirements for other support such as SNMP. Therefore, the Gigabit Switch is used for the central switch to support the Configuration Management Interface in Chinese, it has a gigabit high-speed forwarding rate and simplifies the additional functions not applicable to Internet cafes. It is especially suitable for use in Internet cafes. It is also cheaper than the price of Network-managed and smart switches, and the cost-effectiveness is extremely high. The central switch connects the server, the access router, and the working group switch directly connected to the workstation to form a star structure for the entire network. The INTERNET access router uses a multi-functional Broadband Router. This router supports a full Chinese configuration interface and multiple common access methods. Currently, this router has good performance in many INTERNET cafes. The Working Group switch uses 24 common switches to connect the workstations in the internet cafe respectively. It features stable performance, high reliability, low latency, and fast speed, meeting the speed requirements of Internet cafe users. The connection to the server uses a gigabit Nic, with a relatively high access volume on the server. In addition, many of the servers provide data with high bandwidth requirements such as video and audio, therefore, the interface connecting the server to the entire network must be 1 Gigabit, which can avoid bottlenecks in the network. In addition, to meet the needs of many value-added service-type bars and leisure facilities in Internet cafes, a Wireless AP can be connected on a vswitch to provide wireless Internet access services for customers who are casual at bars.

A) high-speed full-switch network: the entire network adopts a star topology and uses a gigabit Nic for servers to achieve high-speed connection with the network center switch, INTERNET cafe customers can enjoy movie and game LAN services on the server, but also through the TL-R460 Broadband Router to achieve high-speed access to the INTERNET.

B) simple and convenient configuration interface: All the network products that can be configured in the solution support full-Chinese WEB configuration, even if people who do not understand the network, you can complete step-by-step configuration through its user-friendly Chinese prompt wizard.

C) excellent value-added services for INTERNET cafes: the whole INTERNET cafe not only provides basic services for accessing the INTERNET, but also enables customers to enjoy high-speed movie and online game services through the LAN, in addition, wireless network coverage for leisure and entertainment venues such as bars can also be provided, so that customers can enjoy the convenience brought by the INTERNET during leisure.

D) Superior cost performance: In the entire network design, we adhere to the specific application-oriented, practical, and adequate principles. The selected products have proved to be very suitable for use in Internet cafes, at the same time, the price is also the most reasonable for similar performance products.
