Creating Your Own Cloud Solution

Consuming Open Source Stack

Consuming the stack is exciting, and up to you how to integrate into a complete solution. Accessing the source code is free: Github

Understanding how to consume the project needs membership with the Telecom Infra Project Open Converged Wireless group: Join OCW Group

There is no fee to join, once you are approved, access to Confluence, JIRA, Slack will all be included in addition to the ability to check in and contribute code to the project.

Initial Lab Setup

Deploying the TIP OpenWiFi solution into a lab or into production is simple to do. Some basic pre-requisites should be satisfied before beginning.

Ensure the following are known before beginning installation:

• Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) is available and configurable

• Internet Protocol (IP) subnet with Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for access points is available

• Internet Protocol (IP) subnet with static addressing is available for Cloud SDK

• If using VLAN features of the access points, an IEEE 802.1q compliant Ethernet switch and VLAN topology are supported in your network

• Network traffic is permitted for the following ports from Access Points to Cloud SDK:

  • 80

  • 443

  • 1883

  • 6640

  • 6643

Cloud Discovery

All TIP Open Wi-Fi devices implement discovery of the cloud SDK through a Zero Touch Provisioning design based on the unique signed certificate present on each device.

Each device contacts the Certificate Authority (CA) using its certificate credentials to lookup the current value of the cloud SDK.

Once the configured cloud is returned from CA to the device, a connection is created to the cloud SDK where provisioning of the device will occur.
