Only through the convergence of IoT devices and Wi-Fi networks can ICT infrastructure meet increasingly data-rich requirements across industries.

Campus networks are moving into the era of being experience-centric as opposed to being just user- or device-centric, leading to more business oriented service-centric architecture.

Huawei launched the next-generation core switch CloudEngine S12700E and CloudEngine S-series fixed switches, which are tailored for future campus networks.

With insights into cloudification and AI adoption for applications, as well as IoT and wireless trends for terminals, we see four trends that will materialize in campus networks.

The networking journey is always one of change. Yet there are some technologies that we’ve used for literally decades that are showing signs of being less than up to the challenges of growing bandwidth and device density. Indeed, new services such as Wi-Fi 6 are driving the need for more bandwidth, especially on the backhaul. Copper Ethernet cables are a great example of where a great technology is beginning to run into the harsh limits of physics. To achieve even 10 Gigabit speeds excessive care has to be taken with thick, less flexible cables and distance limits of 100 meters for properly installed cabling systems (Cat6a or Cat7). With bandwidth rising to 40Gbps and 100Gbps and beyond, it becomes a matter of much discussion on how we support networks going forward, especially in new construction. Nobody wants the expense of upgrading a building’s network cabling within a few years of finishing it.

Campus networks play a critical part in ensuring fast and stable connectivity, however, with the emergence of data-thirsty application such as VR and HD video, conventional copper wiring-based networks can no longer handle the expansion of data needs.Huawei Campus OptiX comes with all the necessary features built-in, making it an ideal solution for campuses. It uses fibers for campus networks and innovatively integrates the advantages of the Passive Optical LAN (POL) all-optical networking architecture and IP network technology to provide a simplified campus network experience.

At HUAWEI CONNECT 2022, Huawei's data communication product line released the experience-centric "X00 Mbps @ Anywhere" wireless network construction standard to simplify planning, acceptance, and optimization, which are typically challenging for wireless networks due to lack of a quantifiable construction standards. This new standard helps to deliver "200 Mbps @ Anywhere" fully-wireless office network experiences.

What is the digital transformation stage of global enterprises? How can we address the challenges and accelerate Enterprise digital transformation?

Advanced, efficient networks are must-haves for an enterprise’s digital transformation initiative.

Huawei's new flagship product, the CloudEngine S16700, uses its superfast forwarding, all-new architecture, and innovative power supply technologies to lead campus networks to an all-wireless intelligent era.
