In the heart of the land of Jingchu, the Hubei Provincial Museum houses the codes of civilization spanning thousands of years. The grandeur of Zeng Houyi's bell, the cold light of Yue King Goujian's sword, and the ink marks on the Qin bamboo slips of Yunmeng Sleeping Tiger Land all attract visitors from all directions. However, as the digital wave sweeps through the cultural and museum industry, and tourists expect more immersive and intelligent exhibition experiences, the "neural network" of museums has become a bottleneck restricting development.

Project Background: When Ancient Civilization Meets Outdated Networks

As a national first-class museum, the Hubei Provincial Museum receives a huge daily visitor volume. The original traditional network architecture has exposed multiple pain points under the demands of the new era:

Weak performance, lagging experience:

Old devices are difficult to support high concurrency access, and tourists frequently encounter "spinning circles" when browsing videos and searching for information, greatly reducing the digital tour experience.

Painting the ground as a prison, unable to roam:

The switching between APs is stiff, and tourists frequently disconnect and reconnect when moving between different exhibition halls, which ruthlessly interrupts the smoothness of exhibition viewing.

Complicated authentication and security concerns:

Relying solely on the original account password for login, the process is complex and there is a risk of password leakage, lacking effective security auditing and protection measures.

Digital upgrading has no foundation to rely on:

Ambitious innovative plans such as AI digital human lectures, AR cultural relic restoration, and immersive interactive exhibitions require extremely high network bandwidth, latency, and stability, which are beyond the capacity of the old network.

The network of museums is far more than just being able to access the internet

It is also the cornerstone of intelligent services

Exploring the Path to Breaking Through： Roaming and Building a New Foundation for Smart Culture and Museology

In response to pain points and core requirements, the project team has tailored a new generation of integrated routing cloud AC+POE switch+high-density ceiling AP networking solution for Hubei Provincial Museum, achieving a leap in network quality:

01 Minimalist architecture, stable and efficient

Cloud based AC achieves centralized intelligent control and simplifies operation and maintenance; High performance POE switches provide stable power transmission for APs; High density ceiling mounted AP scientific deployment, covering the entire museum without blind spots, and providing strong and stable signals even in crowded areas.

02 Seamless roaming, silky experience

Adopting advanced fast roaming protocols, visitors can freely shuttle between different exhibition halls, and devices can switch between APs like flowing clouds and water. Video calls and live guided tours are seamless throughout the entire process.

03 Portal authentication, smart portal

The router is equipped with powerful Portal authentication management function, completely bidding farewell to complex passwords. Customized authentication deeply integrates Hubei Provincial Museum VI elements, displaying the treasures of the museum, recent special exhibitions, and event information, becoming the digital showcase of the museum's "first impression". After successful authentication, it can intelligently guide tourists to visit the official cultural and creative mini program mall, reservation system, and electronic navigation map, instantly transforming "connecting the network" into "connecting services", greatly improving tourist convenience and commercial conversion.

Achievements and prospects ：connect the past and the future

The network revitalization of Hubei Provincial Museum not only solves the urgent problem of "lagging, slow, and interrupted", but also serves as a foundation project for the era of intelligent cultural and museum development. When the afterglow of the chime clock flows in the air of 5G+Wi Fi, and when the sharpness of King Goujian of Yue's sword is reproduced with the support of AR technology, the Hubei Provincial Museum is telling the dusty history with a smart, secure, and agile network, making the millennium civilization shine brightly in the digital age. This is not only a transformation of the internet, but also a cultural experience revolution for the future. Wisdom and cultural heritage, set sail from here!
