"Ten Thousand People Wireless" is full of challenges

As one of the annual Internet industry trendsetters, Tencent Global Partner Conference has always been known for its foresight and insight into the Internet industry. This year, the conference has been upgraded again, with Tencent's ten business lines gathering together to share with partners the latest development progress and future trends in each segment, allowing global elites to discuss the innovative landscape of modern business under the "Internet +" and sharing economy model. Tencent's star products: WeChat, crowd innovation, applications, finance, games, cloud computing, marketing, VR, QQ, location services, etc., are all inseparable from cutting-edge and innovative wireless network technologies. Therefore, the Wi-Fi at the venue of this conference has attracted much attention, requiring the best quality experience to show the future power of mobile networks.

The wireless network of the venue not only needs to be robust, stable, high-speed, and secure, to meet the needs of many participants using Weibo, WeChat, and APP to score party activities, upload pictures, play interactive games, and download, but also needs to support the high concurrency and high traffic requirements of tens of thousands of people in the audience "shaking" to interact at the same time, live broadcasts by Internet celebrities, and back-row users watching videos via Wi-Fi. Deploying such a wireless network that can be uninterrupted, not stuck, and not slow is not an easy task for the experienced Ruijie technical team, and it cannot be taken lightly.

Ruijie team solves the "three highs" problem

"Smart network, I will escort you", with this battle slogan, Ruijie selected elite soldiers and generals, who led the team members to complete the overall wireless system integration and service guarantee including consulting planning, solution design, product implementation, optimization, operation and maintenance guarantee and emergency drills for the venue wireless network. In response to the "three highs" requirements of high density, high concurrency and high bandwidth deployment required by the conference wireless network, Ruijie used 155 high-performance RG-AP520 supporting 802.11ac to achieve full coverage of the venue. At the same time, it also selected RG-WS6812 high-performance wireless controller, RG-N18000 (Newton) series cloud architecture network core switch, and the next-generation all-in-one Internet gateway EG2000XE as the Internet export to ensure that internal data exchange, security authentication, and export applications can all achieve the best experience effect.

During the on-site survey, the Ruijie team found that the audience seats at the conference venue were very dense, which was an ultra-high-density wireless scenario. To meet the needs of 13,000 terminals, the corresponding wireless AP deployment is bound to cause the problem of co-frequency interference between APs. To this end, the technicians divided different AP groups, adjusted the optimization strategy according to the density of people in different areas, and controlled the bandwidth by group and authority to ensure that the bandwidth of a single terminal is as high as 4M. In addition, when configuring the frequency points of the AP coverage area, in order to achieve effective coverage of the AP, the engineer adjusted the power of a single AP as needed according to the on-site layout to avoid mutual interference between AP system channels.

It is worth mentioning that, unlike the previous "10,000-person conferences", the "equipment" used by the Ruijie wireless team this time has been fully upgraded. Ruijie engineers deployed the latest generation of WIS (Wlan Intelligent Service) wireless intelligent service ecosystem. Through WIS "one-click network optimization", multiple key parameters such as channel, power, rate set, etc. can be automatically optimized. In addition, the previous test tools have also been replaced by the "Wi-Fi Magic Box". With the help of the WIS mobile APP, multiple acceptance tests such as AP association, speed measurement, roaming, etc. are carried out, providing efficient data basis for in-depth network optimization, ensuring the best experience of users' wireless Internet access in high-density scenarios.
