Huawei BYOD Network Solution

1 Trends of Enterprise Network

Under the circumstance of economic globalization, enterprises expand gradually and have branches distributed sparsely. It is a great challenge for enterprise staff, especially the nonprofessional persons, to manage branch networks and ensure normal service operation. Gartner forecasts that the IT expenses of most enterprises will be 35% more than IT department's budget by 2015. Huawei BYOD Network Solution

Figure 1 Architecture of BYOD network solution

Employees' work styles are changing. Employees move more often over a wider range. Mobile ofce, BYOD, and emergency communication become a trend, allowing employees to access enterprise networks anytime and anywhere. Limited by IT investments, an enterprise needs to build a multi-play bearer network. However, wider network coverage and stronger mobility impose more threats to enterprise networks. All these require higher security of branch networks. InformationWeek estimated that in 2011, 65% of enterprises are using or willing to use the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) work mode. BYOD allows an employee to use any type of terminal anywhere, anytime to access an enterprise network. Wired and wireless sections of a campus network must be seamlessly interconnected so that employees can enjoy the same online experience from any terminal.

Figure 3 BYOD infrastructure network architecture

1Multi-layer design: The network consists of a core layer, an aggregation layer, and an access layer. Each layer has clearly defined functions and a stable topology, making the network easy to expand and maintain. 2Modular design: Each module corresponds to an enterprise department, facilitating fault location. Network topology changes in one department do not affect other departments. 3Redundant design: A two-node redundant design makes the network more reliable without signicantly increasing the maintenance workload. Too much redundancy is difcult to maintain.

AP high-density coverage, High-speed intelligent

The Huawei converged and easy branch network solution has the following advantages in terms of mobility:

1) Huawei has rich experience in the wireless communications industry and has developed industry-leading wireless technologies. Huawei APs support intelligent antennas, built-in antenna array, dynamic user detection, and sector radio transmission to reduce co-efficiency interference. These technologies increase the coverage area of APs by 20% c and improve the access throughput by 20% compared with similar products. Huawei BYOD Network Solution

2) Huawei WLAN products use the thirdgeneration chips and industry-leading technologies to support high-density user access. The third-generation chips use more precise weighted algorithm to provide more stable radio signals for wireless terminals. Thanks to Huawei's experience in 3G technology development (Huawei has obtained more than 200 patents for core wireless technologies since 2010), Huawei converged and easy branch network solution integrates the WiFi network with 3G network seamlessly.
