Central Network Aggregation Control for Multi-Tenant Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Managing network access for numerous tenants across multiple apartment complexes, condominiums, and town home facilities located in different geographic locations is a complex task, requiring manual determination and allocation of network access levels, which is resource-intensive and prone to errors.
Innovation Solution
A system that enables automatic provisioning of network access in real-time based on the level of access each tenant is entitled to, using a network access control system that aggregates network access parameters and manages them across multiple multi-tenant structures with different network access configurations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual determination and allocation of network access is used, then network access can be provisioned to tenants, but significant resources are absorbed and management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic provisioning where the network access control system self-configures network access parameters for tenants based on pre-defined policies and tenant profiles, eliminating the need for manual determination and allocation by management entities
Solution Approach 2:
Network access parameters and policies are pre-configured in the system before tenant provisioning occurs. When a tenant is added, the system automatically applies these pre-defined parameters rather than requiring manual configuration at the time of provisioning
2Adaptability or versatility
If network access is managed for numerous tenants at numerous different locations, then comprehensive network coverage is achieved, but resource consumption and operational difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The network access control system implements a universal architecture that can manage network access across multiple locations and different network types (fiber, coax, Ethernet) through a single standardized platform, eliminating the need for location-specific manual management
Solution Approach 2:
The system manages network access by dynamically adjusting parameters such as bandwidth allocation, access permissions, and service levels based on tenant profiles and network conditions, allowing centralized control across diverse locations without increasing management resources
3Adaptability or versatility
If different network access types (fiber, coax, Ethernet) are provisioned for different complexes, then customized network access is provided, but allocation difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The network access control system acts as an intermediary layer between the diverse network infrastructures (fiber, coax, Ethernet) and the tenants, translating high-level access requirements into location-specific configurations without requiring manual intervention for each network type
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments network access management into independent, standardized modules that can handle different network types separately but are coordinated through a centralized control mechanism, simplifying the allocation process across diverse infrastructures

AI summary
Systems and methods include aggregating network access to tenant spaces distributed among multi-tenant structures with each multi-tenant structure having a network access configuration to access a network architecture. Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to identifying the network access configuration for the multi-tenant structure. The network access configuration provides the multi-tenant structure access to the network architecture so that each tenant space has access to the network architecture. Network access parameters are determined in real-time that each tenant space network device is to have access to execute as provided by a central network aggregation control system that determines the network access for each tenant space network device. The network access parameters regulate access that each tenant space network device has to the network architecture. The network access parameters are aggregated to each tenant space network device to grant each tenant space network device access to the network architecture.
