Seven campus networks, one monitoring desk.

The brief
Each institution wanted a network of its own, but one IT team had to watch and fix all of them from one place.
The campuses ran on cheap internet plans that went down often, there was no structured network, and staff handled daily work over WhatsApp.
What was built, at all seven sites
Business internet lines
Cheap plans replaced with low-latency business lines on dedicated connections, with direct routing.
Failover at every site
A load-balancing router spreads traffic across several lines and stays online if one fails.
Three-tier switching
Core, distribution and access switches joined by fibre, with Cat6 to every desk, lab and camera.
Campus Wi-Fi
Access points placed for coverage across each campus, with staff and guest networks kept apart.
Five VLANs
Staff, Surveillance, Management, Guest and a private IT core reachable only by the IT team, enforced with access control lists.
Cameras sized for 60 days
About 390 IP cameras on more than 500 TB of NVR storage, sized for roughly two months of recording.
One monitoring desk
A cloud controller at each site reports to the IT department, so routers, switches and access points are managed remotely.
Tools for 10,000 people
A .edu.in domain, a 10,000-user Google Workspace for Education plan and Microsoft apps with Teams moved daily work off WhatsApp.
Equipment across seven sites
| Load-balancing routers | 7 |
| Core switches | 7 |
| Distribution switches | 7 |
| Access switches | 25+ |
| Wi-Fi access points | 16+ |
| IP cameras | ~390 |
| NVR storage | 500 TB+ |
Every site follows the same blueprint, so the IT team can fix any campus the same way. Each network stays isolated, as the institutions wanted, while all seven report to one console.
The result: no network-related issue since deployment, 99% uptime, and dead internet lines fixed within one to two hours.
A note on this project
MMANTC was delivered by our founder in his previous role as its IT Head. The same approach now goes into every Mukhtar Networking project, scaled to your site.
