Proposed Network Topology & Design

Overview

We propose a hybrid star topology with a centralized core switch and a Cat6/fiber backbone. The cyber café network supports gaming PCs, general browsing systems, guest Wi-Fi, cashier/server systems, CCTV monitoring, and management devices. This topology ensures high performance, scalability, easy troubleshooting, and cost efficiency.

Key Networking Devices

  • ISP modem/router (Unifi Fiber) – primary internet uplink
  • Edge router/firewall – traffic filtering and basic security
  • Core switch – 24-port Gigabit managed switch (VLAN & QoS support)
  • Access switches – 16-port Gigabit switches for user zones
  • Wireless Access Points (WAP) for guest Wi-Fi and staff devices
  • Server/Cashier PC for billing, monitoring, and local services
  • NVR system for CCTV video storage

Physical Media & Cabling

  • Cat6 UTP cables for workstation-to-switch connections
  • Fiber or Cat6 backbone links between floors or network zones
  • Structured cable trays for airflow, safety, and maintenance
