The project involved providing a reliable and high-performance WiFi network for a large building with multiple floors and a large number of users and devices. To meet the requirements of the project, the following solutions were implemented:

  1. Fortigate 600E firewall - This was used as the primary security device for the network, providing protection against various cyber threats and ensuring secure access to the network.
  2. Unifi u6 access point 56 units - These were deployed strategically throughout the building to provide extensive coverage and high-speed connectivity to all users and devices. The Unifi u6 access points offered advanced features like beamforming, MU-MIMO, and OFDMA, ensuring reliable connectivity and high bandwidth for all users.
  3. Unifi core switch 1 unit - This was used as the core switch for the network, providing high-speed connectivity between different network segments and ensuring efficient data transfer.
  4. Unifi layer 3 switch each floor 1 unit - These switches were deployed on each floor of the building, providing connectivity to the access points and other devices on the floor. The layer 3 switches offered advanced routing and switching capabilities, ensuring efficient traffic flow and optimized network performance.
  5. Hikvision CCTV - This was used for video surveillance and security monitoring of the building, ensuring a safe and secure environment for all users.

The project also involved configuring and managing six WAN connections to ensure reliable and high-speed internet connectivity for all users.

The project was completed successfully, meeting all the requirements of the client. The WiFi network was highly reliable, offering seamless connectivity and high bandwidth to all users and devices throughout the building.
