Customer Needs & Challenges

Keeping up with customer demands is a significant challenge for the retail industry. From product preferences to purchasing habits and loyalty programs, customer expectations are ever-changing. Retailers who fail to meet these expectations and embrace the challenge will quickly fade into obscurity. While online shopping has gained popularity in recent years, the in-store shopping experience remains cherished. However, today's shoppers expect the in-store experience to be as fast and convenient as online shopping. Poor internet connectivity can pose a barrier to meeting these expectations.

The Solution

FS provides comprehensive network solutions for the retail industry, providing wide coverage and robust stability. With a focus on enhancing network security, reducing IT workload, improving user experience, and lowering maintenance costs, FS Airware's cloud management platform efficiently solves network problems and improves network operation efficiency.

Stable Networks Accelerate User Experience Improvement and Achieve Significant Growth

The existing network infrastructure significantly impacts the retail business. FS provides personalized wireless and wired network solutions for customers by analyzing their application scenarios and mall area layout. For larger mall areas, FS designs multiple wireless access points to ensure stable signal reception from any location. For public areas, FS provides a wired network layout plan and selects high-performance and highly stable switch and router devices while fully considering capacity planning.

In terms of network topology, FS adopts a hierarchical structure and configures core switch S5860-20SQ, aggregation switch S3910-48TS, access switch S3410-48TS-P, and AP-N505 to greatly improve network scalability and maintainability. After the initial planning and deployment, FS engineers conducted a network acceptance test to ensure full coverage of the wireless network.

The advantages of these switch networks lie in their high density, high throughput, and low latency, which can support high-speed data transmission. In addition, advanced switching technology and security mechanisms are employed to ensure the security and integrity of network data.

Equipped with the latest and fastest Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) technology, the AP-N505 provides customers with a higher level of coverage, ease of installation and management. It provides service in both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands at rates up to 3000Mbps. The AP has a built-in smart antenna with STA-following signal capability for wider coverage.

FS Professional Technical Support for Network Upgrades

A reliable public Wi-Fi network plays a critical role in attracting customers, enhancing mall image, and driving business revenue. FS provides customers with a secure and reliable public WIFI network with multiple security measures such as encryption technology, identity authentication and wireless AP countermeasure to protect users' network connection security. FS S5860-20SQ switch, as the core device supporting the network, offers various security features including port and user-based access control, 802.1x authentication, MAC address binding, and ARP detection. These measures can effectively prevent security threats such as hacker attacks and phishing, ensuring users' information security. A secure and reliable public WIFI service not only improves the traffic flow and brand image of shopping malls, but also enhances user experience and satisfaction, giving a strong impetus to the business growth of shopping malls.
