Challenge
The building needed a structured fiber+Cat5e/6 backbone, a secure internet gateway, high-density Wi-Fi and PoE for phones, APs and cameras across five floors.
Solution
Deployed an S5700-series fiber core (24 SFP + 8 Gigabit ports) on the ground floor aggregating all floors.
Put an AI1016GC 16-port Gigabit PoE switch in each floor's wiring closet with fiber uplinks powering APs and VoIP phones.
Managed the whole estate from one centralized management system, ready for user growth.
Results
- A clean per-floor access design with fiber backhaul, one PoE powered infrastructure and centralized management.
