The new colon virus has greatly changed the way Japanese work.Companies must consider office -in -flutters, which are based on new ways of working in the Corona era, from the "grilled blade -like response" after the emergency declaration.How will Yamaha's network device contribute to the realization of such "New Normal Opis"?
All you need is a work style option that is not a single -side telework
2020 has been a year when Japan's work style has changed dramatically due to the new colon virus.In a nutshell, "telework is a work style option."Since the emergency declaration, telework, which has not been used for a long time, has spread at a stretch, and companies have been forced to respond to permanent, not temporary.Currently, the tasks of IT companies and white -collar, which are highly affinity with telework, will spread telework to the work that was considered difficult in the future (related article: Assignments for working at home.How should companies support the home network environment?)
Telework has a great merit not only for this kind of pandemic countermeasure, but also from the perspective of work style reform, disaster countermeasures, and shortage of human resources.If the telework population increases, the diversified bases and working hours will be reduced, and the crowded trains in the infamous metropolitan area will be alleviated.Employees will be able to work more flexibly through life events such as childbirth, child -rearing, and nursing care.In addition, Japanese companies, which are a disaster power, also need to respond to typhoons and earthquakes that are visited every year, and telework is an effective measure in that respect.Furthermore, if a work environment is in place regardless of location in telework, it will be possible to acquire human resources in rural and overseas.This will lead to eliminating the shortage of human resources, and the gap between the city and the region will naturally be filled.
But does the office unnecessary?That shouldn't be the case.Certainly, some IT companies can reduce or close their offices in Tokyo.The other day, a major human resource company Pasona announced that it would transfer the head office to Awaji Island in Hyogo Prefecture, which became a big topic.However, the prolonged telework has missed dissatisfaction with home workers and managers, such as "I can't consult casually," "I feel lonely," and "I can't see the progress of business."Originally, some people feel reluctant to work at home, which is a place of life, and it is still hard to say that the sense of unity of the team brought by office work can be replaced by technology.
Merit and demerits of telework and office work
Currently, a large gap is being born between the advanced company that goes straight to the telework and the company that returns to the office after a telework trial.However, what is required of companies today is the options for working style and the development of workspace to achieve it.The best solution is a "hybrid work style" that allows you to change the place where you work flexibly according to the content of your work, such as when you come to work, then work at home, and then share offices.If you can't go back to Corona, it's a good way for a company to make a strong investment and build a tough "New Normal Opis".
New normal network for New Normal Opis
So what do you need for New Normal Ophith, which claims to be telework?
What is clear is that the method of consolidating many employees in a narrow office space as before Corona has become nonsense.Corona evil requires a social distance that keeps a distance between people, and needs to be considered not to be three in the office.And if you work from home and mobile work, and if the number of people who work outside the company increases, the occupancy rate of fixed desk spaces will naturally decrease.
Another point is to ensure the quality and quantity of communication.Conversations when working and working in the office are replaced by chat and remote conferences in telework.In other words, the total amount of conversations in the office is flowed to the cloud application as data such as text, video, and audio.What is particularly important is the improvement of the sound quality to convey intentions, feelings, and nuances by voice.Utilizing the latest technology, we must realize conference rooms and existing workspaces that smoothly communicate.
New Normal Otofis, which keeps a social distance, is connected to the security and seamlessly, connecting to the company and seamlessly.If you read this far, it will be self -evident that the key is on the network.Stable communication with the cloud, VPN that leads employees to office network, wired LAN with high stability, and wireless LAN that realizes a flexible way of working.Such New Normal Ophith is realized by Yamaha network equipment.
Yamaha network device that realizes New Normal Opis
Speaking of Yamaha, it is a long -established router from the dawn of the Internet, but has entered the switch market for 10 years and has entered the wireless LAN market for eight years, and has become a completely comprehensive network equipment manufacturer.It has been well -known for its reliable and strong hardware, the latest technology, and has a reputation for stable software, and has long supported the network of Japanese SME SOHO.In addition, high -quality conference speaker products that make use of Yamaha's DNA, which are particular about sound, are also being developed.As a result, it has an assortment of a general trading company, "Under the influence of the new colon virus, all the things you need for telework will be Yamaha."
Realizing teleworking environments such as high -speed Internet, security, VPN
Yama Harouters realize a high -speed Internet connection in New Normal Opis, looking for remote conferences and cloud use.The slowness of applications in offices and at home is often due to the poor Internet line.By replacing this with the latest Gigabit FTTH and Yama Haruta, a comfortable remote conference and the use of the cloud are realized.Of course, you need a high -performance gigabit router that can withstand large capacity.
Of course, there are many routers in the world that claim to be Gigabit, but inexpensive personal routers cannot withstand use.For example, when using cloud services, it is necessary to set up thousands of sessions on one PC, so ordinary personal routers cannot judge the number of sessions.In addition, if a high throughput is realized, it is necessary to consider the introduction of IPv6 without PPPoE overhead.In that regard, the latest Yamaha's latest routers such as the NVR510 and RTX830 boasts high performance that makes full use of large -capacity FTTH.The NVR510 / RTX830 has a 2Gbps 2Gbps between LANs and 65,534 NAT sessions, which also supports IPv6.
"RTX830" that gives high throughput and sessions
In addition, for corporate use, the firewall is not a simple packet filtering, but a high -functioning thing that can visualize and control cloud applications.Looking at the security function, the NVR510 is an unauthorized access detection (IDS), and the RTX830 is an "application control (DPI)" that allows you to route, QOS, and filter for each URL filtering and applications that link with external services.Corresponds to.
One of the major issues in this telework was the lack of VPN capacity.Some companies have promoted the cloud of the system with the crona of the Corona, but many companies needed to remotely log in to internal systems and NAS via VPN.However, VPN is not designed on the premise that all employees will be telework, and it is difficult to increase the capacity of VPN in a hurry.In some cases, the VPN gateway, which had been used before, was pulled out of the warehouse and used it, and in some cases, the software was old and the vulnerabilities were pierced and received unauthorized access.
About half a year after the emergency declaration, "Sudden VPN" must be renewed soon.It is necessary to prioritize the system that shifts to the cloud, or to add VPN on the premise of the company's company.Again, Yamaha's router is an effective option.
The latest gigabit router "RTX1210" is 100 VPNs (IPSEC Thu Roup 1).5Gbps), designed as a center type router, boasts a VPN -to -land number of 1000 (2Gbps IPsec throughput 2Gbps), and can achieve a stable VPN environment.VPN introduction options include cloud -type VPN services, but stable throughput and performance are unique to hardware.In addition, if you introduce a VPN client "YMS-VPN8", which realizes secure remote access to the PC of employees who perform teleworking, it can be connected to the internal system and directly connected to the cloud service by the Internet.It is possible to reduce load and traffic.

What is a new office network assuming a remote meeting?
In addition to the Internet and WAN connection, the network in the office is also required to be designed to be teleworked.In short, it is a wired LAN that requires stability and a wireless LAN hybrid that provides flexibility.
The most used application in telework is a remote conference.In remote conferences, large -capacity and real -time communication such as videos and audio will be performed, so if it is not transmitted with high quality, it will lead to a loss of user experience.What is important is the voice rather than the video, and in an environment where the sound is interrupted or heard late, the participants feel stressed and the meeting itself is not established.From this point, highly stable wired LAN is considered essential for office network.
On the other hand, in the current office, laptops and smartphones are often used as business terminals.These devices often have wireless LANs as network interfaces, so wireless infrastructure is also essential.With a stable wireless LAN, the user can easily communicate at the remote conference wherever you go.
In that regard, Yamaha has a lineup of wired switches and wireless LAN APs, which can achieve a hybrid network.The wired LAN switch is L3 switch corresponding to large -scale networks, light L3 switches with routing, intelligent switches with SNMP management functions, smart L2 switches with POEs, and simple L2 switches are also diverse.The lineup of ports is also abundant.

Also, as a wireless LAN AP, IEEE802.The lineup of WLX212, WLX402, WLX313, WLX202, etc. corresponding to 11ac.In addition to efficiently managing multiple wireless LAN APs, it is equipped with radio wave visualization functions.The white housing that blends into the office is also impressive.
The biggest feature of Yamaha network devices, including these routers, switches, and wireless LANs, is high management.By using the cloud -type network management service "YAMAHA Network Organizer (YNO)", IT administrators can set and manage multi -base network equipment simply by accessing the cloud from the web browser.
For example, by using a zero configuration function, the connection and settings are completed by inserting a USB memory containing the connection setting information into the device.There is no need to kitty in advance or set or confirm on site.In addition, the firmware that is concerned from the security point of view can be performed remotely and performed it all at once.In addition, the use of the LAN map function can be visualized for the switch and wireless LAN AP network configuration under the router, and if a connection failure occurs, it is possible to receive an alert.
The latest wireless LAN AP "WLX212", which was just announced in July 2020, also supports YNO management, and can be visualized to the wireless LAN radio wave conditions.Existing IEEE 802.If you continue to use the 11a/B/G/n wireless LAN environment, IEEE 802.Let's consider a base up to a stable high -speed wireless LAN such as 11ac.
The secret to avoiding the dense and using remote conferences comfortably
So what kind of office network should we use by using these Yamaha switches and wireless LANs?
The number of teleworkers and the decrease in office workers will maintain social dyslice, avoid three denses, and promote spacious free spaces.In addition, it is desirable to introduce a 5GHz band wireless LAN with a high transmission ability and balance flexibility and capacity.The WLX212 that supports YNO has a built -in virtual controller function for collectively managing the same LAN wireless LAN AP, so the setting is automatically synchronized when the wireless LAN AP is added or replaced, and the state monitoring and software are monitored and software.Uploading can also be implemented in bulk.
On the other hand, the meeting area needs to respond significantly to the significant increase in remote conferences with teleworkers and customers.In addition to the wireless LAN, it is a good idea to prepare a wired LAN environment that ensures stability and reliability.From now on, important meetings that should not be interrupted will be held remotely, so wired LANs are easier to ensure stability than wireless wireless, which is susceptible to surrounding radio environments.Yamaha's switch is compatible with gigabit, not only simple L2 switches, but also a wide range of smart L2 switches, intelligent L2 switches with enhanced management functions, and L3 switches with routing functions.Since the number of ports can be selected in various ways, a network of various requirements can be constructed flexibly.
Using wired LAN and wireless LAN properly
In addition, Yamaha has also introduced products of various genres, including voice communication, telework booth (office soundproof room), and speech privacy, regarding the most important audio in remote conferences.For example, a speaker phone that realizes a comfortable meeting by installing adaptive echocardian sellers and noise reduction is an essential item in the Telework era.The latest "YVC-330" has a function called "SoundCap" that suppresses surrounding noise so that you can communicate comfortably in a noisy open space.The best device for Hador meeting in the meeting area.The other day, the one -stop sound solution "Adecia", which is the premise of remote conferences, has been announced, supporting the realization of New Normal Ophith.
Increase productivity in an "hybrid work style" office
This is the common sense of "working in the office", which was commonplace, but it is no longer inevitable to go to telework.From the perspective of work style reforms and disaster countermeasures, the environment, systems, company rules, etc. that can work regardless of the places necessary for the introduction of teleworks are issues that many companies should consider permanently.
Under these circumstances, the future work style must be based on a "hybrid work style" that combines telework and office work.Conference with fixed time and place, verbal and paper exchanges, and breaking out of employment in a narrow office, providing highly productive environments for many employees, and employees.It can be said that it is a future duty to enhance communication skills and corporate competitiveness.
Yamaha products provide the best products and services for building these new Normal Opis.Louters that realize high -speed and secure Internet and VPN connections, wired switches and wireless LAN APs that realize stability and flexible networks, cloud services for stable and operating networks at multiple bases, and remote conferences.With a wide range of products such as voice communication products to use, it eliminates users related to telework.In particular, solutions that solve sound problems are strongly committed as an instrument manufacturer.
The Yamaha site has a variety of webinar videos that eliminate telework anxiety, and a "telework consultation window", so please access it.
