Project Introduction
Location: Tainan,Taiwan
Project Name: Management of Car Parks in Tainan City with ORing's Wireless Solutions
Products Deployed: IAR-142-4G/RFA-O5-SM-W4G
Project Requirement
- Secure wireless connectivity
- Centralized network monitoring and management
- Public Wi-Fi hotspots
Growing tourism in Tainan, including visitors from Japan, Hong Kong, and South Korea, increased pressure on the city’s public parking facilities. With many visitors traveling by car, the Tainan City Government sought to improve parking convenience and operational efficiency by connecting 32 public car parks to a centralized management system.Older buildings at some sites made cabling difficult, prompting the government to adopt wireless connectivity. After consulting network equipment distributors, it selected ORing to connect parking systems, enable secure remote management, and provide public Wi-Fi.
Solution
Each car park deployed an IAR-142-4G WLAN VPN router to connect its IP cameras, eTag and license plate recognition systems, lighting, parking availability LED displays, barriers, ticketing equipment, and ticket validation systems to the control center. Supporting IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and two Fast Ethernet ports, one LAN and one WAN, the router provided connectivity for parking operations. VPN connections protected communication between sites and the control center, while 802.1X authentication controlled network access. Authorized staff could securely access operational data remotely, and images and video were transmitted to ORing’s device management server at the control center.
ORing’s centralized management platform enabled administrators to monitor all routers, configure settings, and set fault alerts through a single interface, simplifying operations across the 32 sites. An Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) platform supported tracking of user traffic and bandwidth usage. The routers also provided free Wi-Fi, allowing drivers to check parking availability, regulations, and fees on their phones while staying connected during their visit.
