Deployment
Before project deployment, after-sales technical support personnel must fully

understand the customer's service requirements and network construction
requirements and provide necessary inputs for network deployment to accurately
evaluate the solution feasibility.
The following table lists the project information to be collected based on the
project type (new, migration, or upgrade project).

Geographical Preliminarily determine the basic

distribution of the network architecture and specify the
campus network: network planning for egress, backbone,
centralized or core, and access networks. If the campus
dispersed network is geographically centralized,
consider using the single-core
architecture. If the campus network is
geographically dispersed, for example,
multiple buildings with large network
scale have heavy internal traffic
between them, consider using multiple
core or aggregation points.
Distribution of If there are many ELV rooms or

equipment rooms or equipment rooms, deploy an
extra-low voltage aggregation point in each ELV room or
(ELV) rooms equipment room. If the multi-core
interconnection architecture is used,
deploy multiple cores in different
equipment rooms respectively. In
addition, you also need to consider the
device layout and distance between the
devices.
Network environment For wireless networks, check whether

the networks are deployed in outdoor or
indoor scenarios and identify
surrounding interference factors (such
as radar and non-Wi-Fi interference).
Check the temperature and humidity,
check whether there are special
requirements for earthquake resistance,
surge protection, and electricity
protection, and specify the working
environment of APs. Determine
installation locations, placement angles,
grounding conditions, and power supply
modes of APs.
For wired networks, check power supply
and heat dissipation conditions of the
equipment room, and power supply
capability of each rack. Ensure that the
distance between devices meets the
