1. Introduction
As tourism informatization continues to advance, scenic areas worldwide are progressively achieving full coverage of free WiFi, intelligent audio guides, electronic interpretation, online booking, and information push services - along with crowd monitoring and location tracking in high-traffic zones for safety management. Since most scenic spots are geographically dispersed across complex terrain, traditional wired cabling not only damages the natural ecological environment but also entails extreme construction difficulty and cost. A growing number of scenic areas are deploying real-time video surveillance at key entrances, exits, and activity areas to ensure visitor safety.
Jinan BodaCOM Communication Technology Co., Ltd. (BodaCOM) delivers an Industrial-grade wireless communication solution for scenic areas and wetland reserves. The solution employs a "coverage + backhaul" wireless networking approach - backhauling real-time video from monitoring points to the command center while providing wide-area WiFi coverage for the scenic area. Wireless networking is flexible, with centralized AC management offering strong scalability - new node equipment is plug-and-play without additional commissioning. The equipment features ultra-long-distance transmission, IP68 Ingress Protection, and Lightning/Surge Protection - adapting to the demanding outdoor environments of scenic areas.
2. Project Overview
This project addresses the informatization and security surveillance requirements of tourist attractions and wetland nature reserves, constructing a wireless transmission network covering dispersed monitoring points and the management center. Key services carried include:
● Real-time HD video surveillance backhaul from entrances, exits, and activity areas to the command center;
● Extensive free WiFi coverage across scenic areas for visitor Internet access;
● Crowd density monitoring and location tracking data upload in high-traffic zones;
● Remote wireless backhaul of wetland reserve checkpoint surveillance data;
● Wireless transmission for smart agriculture information collection, intelligent control, and video monitoring systems.
Scenic Area & Wetland Wireless Coverage Topology
3. Project Challenges
3.1 Dispersed Scenic Spots and Complex Terrain
Scenic areas and wetland reserves span vast areas with widely dispersed spots and diverse, complex terrain - mountains, water bodies, and dense forests causing severe obstruction and attenuation of wireless signals. Traditional wired cabling is difficult, expensive, and environmentally damaging.
3.2 All-Weather Outdoor Operation
All monitoring points and wireless base stations are outdoors, exposed to wind, sun, rain, snow, freezing conditions, and lightning surges. Equipment must feature Industrial-grade Ingress Protection (IP), wide-temperature operation, and Lightning/Surge Protection for year-round, all-weather stable operation.
3.3 Long-Distance Multi-Point Coverage
Scenic area monitoring points are widely separated and sparsely distributed, requiring aggregated backhaul of video surveillance data to the command center. Single-hop transmission distances may reach tens to over a hundred kilometers, demanding simultaneous PtP and PtMP hybrid networking.
3.4 Ecological Preservation and Aesthetics
Scenic areas and wetland reserves impose stringent requirements for ecological and landscape preservation. Communication equipment installation must not damage the original ecology or scenery - equipment must feature compact, discreet design, with wireless networking avoiding large-scale excavation and cabling.
4. Solution Design
4.1 Overall Architecture
BodaCOM has designed an integrated "coverage + backhaul" wireless communication architecture for scenic area and wetland scenarios:
Front-End Access Layer: BodaCOM Industrial-grade wireless client devices are deployed at each scenic spot monitoring point, collecting HD video footage and transmitting data to relay aggregation nodes via Point-to-Point (PtP) or Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP).
Relay Aggregation Layer: BodaCOM wireless base stations are deployed at elevated points or near operator equipment rooms, aggregating monitoring data from surrounding scenic spots and backhauling via operator fiber or long-distance wireless links to the monitoring center.
WiFi Coverage Layer: BodaCOM outdoor wireless APs are deployed in visitor congregation areas to provide extensive free WiFi coverage while simultaneously supporting wireless upload of crowd density monitoring data.
4.2 Core Equipment Selection
The solution deploys BodaCOM Industrial-grade wireless communication products with the following key specifications:
● Point-to-Point Backbone Link maximum transmit power of 1W with transmission distances exceeding 120 km - meeting ultra-long-distance scenic area surveillance backhaul requirements;
● WiFi coverage APs supporting 2.4/5.8 GHz dual-band with per-AP coverage radius of 100–300 meters - meeting wireless access demands in high-traffic visitor zones;
● IP68 Industrial-grade Ingress Protection (IP), Lightning/Surge Protection, wide-temperature design - tolerant of diverse extreme outdoor climatic conditions;
● Simultaneous wired and wireless link health monitoring with self-healing capability, meeting long-term stable operation demands;
● Flexible Point-to-Point (PtP) and Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) hybrid networking to accommodate dispersed scenic area monitoring point distribution;
● Centralized AC management with strong scalability - newly added monitoring nodes auto-join without additional commissioning;
● VLAN segmentation and Quality of Service (QoS) priority scheduling, ensuring real-time performance for video surveillance and command dispatch.
4.3 Network Security Design
The entire network employs WPA2/AES Encryption to secure wireless data, with MAC address filtering and device whitelisting. The AC controller provides unified management of all scenic area wireless equipment with real-time network status monitoring. Equipment supports centralized remote management and firmware upgrades - O&M personnel can manage the entire network from the command center.
