Inje University Partners with Huawei to Build a Cutting-Edge Wi-Fi 7 Smart Campus

The Challenge: Overcoming Legacy Network Limitations

With over 9,800 undergraduate students, 1,200 graduate students, and a dedicated faculty, Inje University’s old network infrastructure was struggling to keep up. The legacy system suffered from two critical pain points:

1. Poor Wireless Coverage: Students and faculty experienced frequent "dead zones" across the campus, leading to frustrating interruptions in study and research.

2. Unstable Performance & High Maintenance: The aging Access Points (APs) were unreliable, causing slow speeds and frequent downtime. This put immense pressure on the IT maintenance team, who spent too much time repairing broken equipment rather than optimizing network performance.

The Huawei Solution: High-Speed, Stable, and Intelligent

To address these challenges, Huawei implemented a comprehensive, future-proof network architecture designed for high density and high speed.

• Unmatched Stability: By utilizing virtualization technology (M-LAG and stacking), coupled with a dual-active uplink from access switches and a full-mesh link connection, Huawei ensured a highly resilient network. Even if certain maintenance components fail, the network continues to operate seamlessly.

• Blazing-Fast Wi-Fi 7 Technology: The new solution introduces Wi-Fi 7 APs capable of reaching maximum speeds of 18.67 Gbps. With 3D WLAN design, Huawei eliminated coverage holes and minimized channel interference, ensuring high-speed internet is available in every classroom and library.

• Robust Security: In the era of data privacy, the network employs three-layer security protection, advanced WPA3 encryption, and flexible authentication modes to protect user data.

• Simplified Operations & Management (O&M):Huawei introduced a "Zero Touch Provisioning" system, allowing the IT team to deploy and manage the network with unparalleled ease. The network provides full visibility into status, user experience, and potential issues, vastly reducing the maintenance workload.

Customer Benefits: Enhanced Satisfaction and Future-Ready Campus

The partnership between Inje University and Huawei has transformed the campus experience. By deploying this state-of-the-art Wi-Fi 7 infrastructure, the university now provides high-quality wireless services that empower students and faculty to learn, collaborate, and innovate without technical hindrances.

During the POC period, a month-long medical seminar was held at Inje University, Gimhae Campus. The event attracted approximately 300 medical professionals. As part of the seminar, they had to play videos on their devices. Students reflected that the videos played very well with our WiFi 7 AP. The seamless connection is the reason why Inje University chose Huawei.
