Network Coverage Plan for Bangkok Police Comprehensive Command Center, Thailand

Project Background

The Bangkok Police Comprehensive Command Center requires a modern, resilient, and high-performance network infrastructure to support its mission-critical operations. The increasing reliance on real-time data analytics, video surveillance (CCTV), IoT sensors, and instant communication necessitates a network that is not only fast but also highly available and secure. The integration of a powerful AI server, the DEEPSEEK AI Server-671B, is central to this initiative, enabling advanced functions like predictive policing, real-time video analytics for threat detection, facial recognition, and intelligent traffic management. This project aims to design a future-proof network backbone to support these advanced capabilities and ensure seamless coordination for public safety.

Requirement Identification

High Availability & Redundancy: Zero tolerance for network downtime. The system must have redundant paths for all critical links (ISP, core-to-aggregation, aggregation-to-access).High Bandwidth & Low Latency: Support for bandwidth-intensive applications, especially the transfer of high-resolution video feeds to the AI server for processing and the return of analytics results with minimal delay.

Security: A robust security posture to protect sensitive law enforcement data and infrastructure from cyber threats. Segmentation of different data types (e.g., video, voice, operational data) is crucial.

Scalability: The architecture must be able to scale to accommodate an increasing number of cameras, sensors, and users without a complete redesign.

Centralized Management & Monitoring: Simplified management of the entire network fabric for efficient troubleshooting and maintenance.

AI Integration: Dedicated, high-speed connectivity for the DEEPSEEK AI Server-671B to the network core to ensure it can process data from all connected endpoints effectively.

Entire Networking Solution Design

Topological Diagram Overview

The designed network follows a modern, collapsed core design (Core/Aggregation layer combined) with redundant access switches.

Internet Edge: Dual ISP links (ISP-1 and ISP-2) provide redundant internet connectivity.

Core Layer: Two Foredge S6700-24TF-2QF switches form the highly available core of the network. They are connected via a VXLAN-M-LAG (Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation Group), which provides active-active forwarding and eliminates spanning-tree blocks, ensuring optimal bandwidth utilization and sub-second convergence upon a link or device failure.

AI Server Connectivity: The DEEPSEEK AI Server-671B is directly connected with dual 10/25GbE links to the core switches, ensuring it has the highest possible bandwidth and lowest latency path to all network resources.

Aggregation Layer: Two Foredge S6700-24GX-4TF-2QF switches aggregate traffic from the access layer. They are also connected via VXLAN-M-LAG to each other and to the core switches, creating a resilient fabric.

Access Layer: Multiple stacks of Foredge N5302AXGSH switches connect end devices such as:

• IP Cameras & Surveillance Systems
• Police workstations and servers
• VoIP phones and wireless access points
• IoT sensors and access control systems

Wireless Coverage: High-density, secure Wi-Fi 6/6E Access Points will be connected to the N5302AXGSH switches to provide comprehensive wireless coverage throughout the command center for mobile devices and guests.

Solution Features

• Carrier-Class Reliability: VXLAN-M-LAG technology ensures device-level redundancy and hitless failover, guaranteeing >99.999% availability for critical police applications.
• AI-Optimized Fabric: The direct connection of the AI server to the high-speed core switches creates a dedicated “AI data highway,” preventing bottlenecks in video analytics processing.
• Enhanced Security: The AGG100 firewall provides advanced threat protection, intrusion prevention (IPS), and application-aware filtering at the internet edge. Network segmentation using VLANs and VXLAN isolates sensitive traffic.
• Simplified Operations: VXLAN technology enables a scalable overlay network, making it easy to add new segments or devices. The cloud-managed capability of the N5302AXGSH access switches allows for centralized configuration and monitoring.
• Future-Proof Scalability: The 100G capable core and aggregation switches provide ample headroom for future bandwidth growth. The design allows for easy addition of more access switches as needed.

Conclusion

This proposed networking solution provides the Bangkok Police Comprehensive Command Center with a robust, secure, and intelligent infrastructure tailored for modern law enforcement needs. By leveraging Foredge’s switching technology with VXLAN-M-LAG for supreme resilience and directly integrating the powerful DEEPSEEK AI Server-671B into the network core, the solution ensures that real-time data and AI-driven insights are delivered reliably and without delay. This architecture not only meets today’s requirements for high availability and security but is also strategically positioned to scale and adopt new technologies in the future, making it a sound long-term investment for public safety in Bangkok.
