Project Background
Chengdu is one of the 6 key cities in China which is famous for its tourism. Besides those well-known tourist attractions such as Dujiangyan irrigation, Qingcheng Mountain, Kuanzhai Alleys and Jinli, there are still 31 characterized small ancient-towns around Chengdu attracting many tourists.
Customer Requirements
This project aimed to deploy free Wi-Fi for tourists, merchants and residents in these small ancient-towns, and the scope of deployment would be over 3,000 APs. Wi-Fi signal would completely cover more than 1 square kilometer of central area in each town, and it would extend to other 180 ancient towns in phase II.
This project was to build a Wi-Fi operation platform with unified authentication and management. It would also build video surveillance system to detect tourist traffic in important intersections; meanwhile, over 90 information display terminals would be built in important towns in order to help users to inquire town information, and share their experiences.
