"Smart Travel" in Linzhi, Tibet, during the summer vacation, Wi-Fi has been widely used in WeChat Moments

During the summer vacation, as a hot spot in the Tibetan tourism market, Linzhi welcomes tourists from all over the country. In the Internet+ era, "smart tourism" accompanied by the Internet has become the norm. How to make the picturesque Linzhi popular on the "friend circle" at the earliest time has become the wish of many tourists. So, can scenic spots at an altitude of several thousand meters also connect to free Wi-Fi at any time?

Lulang Town builds Wi-Fi to overcome the "altitude sickness" of wireless networks

The town of Lulang in Nyingchi, Tibet is magnificent in the midsummer. Lulang means "Dragon King Valley" in Tibetan. It lies charmingly beside the legendary National Highway 318. Lulang Town was jointly built by Guangdong and Tibet provinces with a total investment of about 3.8 billion yuan. It is an international tourist town designed with "Tibetan culture, natural ecology, holiness and tranquility, modern fashion" as its core concept.

In recent years, the construction of an international eco-tourism zone and a global tourism demonstration zone in Linzhi, Tibet has achieved remarkable results. In 2016, Linzhi City received 4.37 million tourists and tourism revenue reached 3.9 billion yuan. Tourism has truly become a pillar industry in Linzhi. As one of the infrastructures of the smart tourism strategy, it is necessary to first carry out wireless network coverage construction in key scenic spots such as Lulang Town and Bayi Town, and connect with the main trunk of Linzhi City and other scenic spots. At the same time, the Wi-Fi network will also achieve full coverage of tourist buses and public transportation vehicles, providing smart tourism services for citizens and travelers. However, it is extremely difficult to set up a wireless network in Lulang Town, the "Dragon King Valley" on the top of the world, and it is necessary to overcome multiple "altitude reactions".

First of all, the climate of Linzhi belongs to the high mountain plateau, but it is very different from most areas in Tibet. Due to the river valley terrain formed by the strong downcutting of the Yarlung Zangbo River and the influence from the Indian Ocean, the Linzhi area has formed a special tropical humid and semi-humid climate, with a large temperature difference between day and night and a lot of rain and snow. To deploy outdoor wireless here, AP products need to have strong "field work" capabilities.

Secondly, wireless network is an important part of Linzhi smart tourism. With the help of portable terminal Internet devices, it should be able to actively perceive information on tourism resources, tourism economy, tourism activities, tourists, etc. in the entire Linzhi area, and serve the scenic area management and marketing.

***, no matter how powerful and stable the wireless network equipment is, it also needs to be optimized and adjusted based on changes in scenes and traffic flows. However, being in the plateau puts extremely high demands on equipment status monitoring and centralized operation and maintenance management.

Adapting to special climate, smart network builds smart scenic spot

As the investor of the "Linzhi Smart Tourism" project, Tibet Linzhi Smart Tourism Development Co., Ltd. finally chose Ruijie's scenic area Wi-Fi and Internet application solutions after multiple comparisons. According to the topography, building pattern, flow of people, hotels and public leisure places of Lulang Town, Ruijie Networks used different types of wireless equipment in the solution, including: RG-AP630 (IODA) and RG-AP630 (IDA) in the scenic area; RG-AP520 (W2) and RG-AP130 (W2) in hotels and other areas. At the same time, it used a complete authentication marketing platform and a powerful passenger flow analysis and positioning engine as core components to comprehensively solve the problem of Wi-Fi deployment in scenic areas.

The outdoor APs provided by Ruijie all adopt an IP67 protection grade housing design, which can effectively avoid the impact of outdoor bad weather and environment. The industrial-grade manufacturing process can highly adapt to the large temperature difference between day and night in Tibet and the special humid weather environment in Linzhi, greatly reducing the difficulty of installation, deployment and subsequent maintenance.

In addition, Ruijie provides a complete set of operating platforms to support smart scenic spots, which fully meets the needs of the future development of Linzhi's smart tourism strategy. All AP devices are managed uniformly through the cloud AC management platform, which provides big data support for precision marketing by collecting mobile terminal hardware and user basic data. At the same time, Ruijie's certified marketing platform MCP, business intelligence management system RBIS, equipment management platform MACC, RG-eLog log analysis and other platforms are used to enable the investor of Linzhi Smart Tourism, Tibet Linzhi Smart Tourism Development Co., Ltd., to achieve full digital management of the scenic spot.

In terms of wireless operation and maintenance of scenic spots, the powerful functions of Ruijie RG-SNC Intelligent Network Commander wireless components make the entire operation and maintenance work more convenient and efficient. In daily work, the operation and maintenance platform can not only locate the source of the fault in the shortest time, but also proactively discover areas with poor network experience and intelligently provide optimization strategies. In the later stage, according to the needs of the Linzhi Smart Tourism Project, Ruijie will also add products such as WIS (Wlan Intelligent Service) and RIIL IT Comprehensive Business Operation and Maintenance Management Platform to implement full-cycle escort and precise positioning services for wireless applications, and give full play to the value of Wi-Fi applications.

Nowadays, when you arrive at Lulang Town, you can immediately access the free Wi-Fi provided by Linzhi Smart Tourism, and check the scenic spots, restaurants, services and other contents at any time, as if you have an experienced and caring tour guide by your side. Going down the mountain from Sejila Pass to the east, thousands of wild flowers are blooming, and the clouds and mists in the mountains gather and disperse from time to time. Snow-capped mountains, forests, countryside, and wooden houses have drawn a series of quiet and beautiful plateau "mountain dwelling pictures". You can take pictures of these amazing views and send them to "friend circle" to share and communicate with relatives and friends far away... The ubiquitous network signals bloom the beauty of life with wisdom.
