Abstract
Embodiments of a device and method are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method of automatic network design involves at a cloud server, obtaining site survey result information of a customer site and at the cloud server, determining a network design for a network to be deployed at the customer site based on the site survey result information, prior to deploying the network to be deployed at the customer site, where the network design includes a Bill of Materials (BoM) and a connectivity map for the network to be deployed at the customer site.
Claims12
A method for automatic network design, the method comprising:
- at a cloud server, obtaining site survey result information of a customer site;
- and
- at the cloud server, determining a network design for a network to be deployed at the customer site using a network deployment block based on the site survey result information, prior to deploying the network to be deployed at the customer site, wherein the network design includes a Bill of Materials (BoM) and a connectivity map for the network to be deployed at the customer site, and wherein the network deployment block comprises:
- a pair of distribution switches;
- a pair of gateways that are connected to the pair of distribution switches;
- a plurality of access switches that are connected to the pair of distribution switches;
- a plurality of wireless access points (APs) that are connected to the distribution switches through the access switches;
- and
- a plurality of wireless sensors that wirelessly connect to the wireless APs.
A system for automatic network design, the system comprising:
- a device deployment module is configured to:
- obtain site survey result information of a customer site;
- and
- determine a network design for a network to be deployed at the customer site using a network deployment block based on the site survey result information, prior to deploying the network to be deployed at the customer site, wherein the network design includes a Bill of Materials (BoM) and a connectivity map for the network to be deployed at the customer site, and wherein the network deployment block comprises:
- a pair of distribution switches;
- a pair of gateways that are connected to the pair of distribution switches;
- a plurality of access switches that are connected to the pair of distribution switches;
- a plurality of wireless access points (APs) that are connected to the distribution switches through the access switches;
- and
- a plurality of wireless sensors that wirelessly connect to the wireless APs;
- and
- a deployment database connected to the device deployment module and configured to store the BoM and the connectivity map for the network to be deployed at the customer site.
A method for automatic network design, the method comprising:
- at a cloud server, obtaining site survey result information of a customer site, wherein the site survey result information comprises wired connectivity information for the customer site and wireless connectivity information for the customer site;
- and
- at the cloud server, based on the site survey result information, determining a network design for a network to be deployed at the customer site using a network deployment block, prior to deploying the network to be deployed at the customer site, wherein the network design includes a Bill of Materials (BoM) and a connectivity map for the network to be deployed at the customer site, and wherein the network deployment block comprises:
- a pair of distribution switches;
- a pair of gateways that are connected to the pair of distribution switches;
- a plurality of access switches that are connected to the pair of distribution switches;
- a plurality of wireless access points (APs) that are connected to the distribution switches through the access switches;
- and
- a plurality of wireless sensors that wirelessly connect to the wireless APs.
