Results

Based on the collected information and the discussions with the management, the design and the implementation plan were developed and approved. WiFi, Telephony, CCTV, Audio and Security systems were installed.

A Full IT Infrastructure Implementation for Melt Room — a fast food restaurant for 60 seats, TV and sound system — was shaped the best way possible through examination of the site during the site construction. The project was completed in 5 days.

ZeroTwo Project Manager approached Parasol Software Trading LLC IT Team for the Full IT Infrastructure Implementation in new Melt Room restaurant in Dubai, UAE. The work consisted of the following services:

• Cabling Works
• Networking and WiFi system
• IT Security
• IP Telephony System (IP PBX)
• CCTV System
• Time Attendance and Access Control System
• Sound system (basic solutions)

Implementation process:

After the initiation of the IT Infrastructure Project, several meetings were held with the company management to define the specifics of the future system and implementation plan. The visits were arranged while the site was still under construction to shape the IT system in the best possible way with respect to the site constituent features (restaurant general layout and communications scheme). Based on the information collected and the discussions with the management, the design and the implementation plan were developed and approved.

The following components were proposed as the solution elements:

• Mikrotik solutions for the Networking and WiFi System
• Hikvision for the CCTV System
• Zycoo solutions for IP Telephony
• Bose FreeSpace for restaurant Audio System
• ZKTeco as Time Attendance & Access Control System

Our team of IT engineers and technicians has begun working on all the tasks listed in the project plan. The whole scope of works and services was executed in 5 days (excluding time for equipment delivery).

At the end of the 5th day, all the goals and objectives set at the design stage were achieved:

Networking: installed wireless network can support at least 80-100 simultaneous connections to the Internet and internal subnets. The WiFi signal power was adjusted to an optimal level to decrease the risk to the clients and personnel health.

Security and Management: In order to defend the business against future threats and enable it to take a full advantage of the business opportunities, while preserving security, usability, reliability, and integrity of the network, we implemented the following features, as per customer request:

• Router/Firewall: the Firewall protects the local area network (LAN) against outside intrusions and ensures the usability, reliability, and integrity of the network. (Packet-filtering Firewall rules, NAT, ACLs, DHCP server settings, secure remote access for management subnet).
• L2 settings: VLANs, switch port securing, ARP inspection, DHCP snooping, network devices are available from Admin VLAN only.
• AAA Mechanism limits the access rights, levels and rules for employees and clients with the group and password policies.
• Wireless Controller settings: SSIDs are separated by VLANs, for administrators, staff and guests, Guest WiFi isolation (clients are absolutely isolated from other internal networks to provide security for guest devices), rogue access points detection, WiFi signal adjustment. Bandwidth limitation for users in Guest and Staff groups (per user).

Telephony System: one landline (FXO port). Built-in call recording server. Recordings are accessible via web user interface. Built-in Call Detail Records (CDR) for tracking phone usage by line, date and etc. Internal (default) storage able to keep 30-40 records (5-7 min.) per day for 1 month.

CCTV System. Monitored areas: entrance, customer area, cashier place, serving area, kitchen. Built-in video recording server. Footages are accessible via web user interface for 30 days (1TB storage).

Fingerprint Time Attendance & Access Control System: supports hotspot mode and allows mobile apps connection; check in/out time calculations and direct downloading of the records.

Sound System: Bose FreeSpace system is a modern, cost-effective and powerful audio solution for a small size restaurant.
