Converged Campus Network

With technologies such as cloud computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) deployed on campuses worldwide, intelligent education is set to thrive. Universities and other higher education institutions know that they must grasp the opportunity at hand, but providing a smart campus network that can support such cutting-edge Information and Communications Technology (ICT) — all the while being simple, flexible, and easy-to-manage — is no easy task.

Huawei's Converged Campus Network Solution provides a series of campus switches and all-scenario AirEngine Wi-Fi 6, and iMaster Network Cloud Engine (NCE) products to implement refined management based on user identities and wireless coverage, all under a Software-defined Networking (SDN) model using Virtual Extensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) technology. Multiple service bearer networks, such as teaching, research, and IoT networks, are integrated to build a unified network across university campuses. The solution constructs passive optical fiber infrastructure to provide high bandwidth Gigabit to student accommodation and 10 Gbps to classrooms, serving all scenarios and learning scenarios on campus.

A Huawei Converged Campus Network realizes in-depth convergence of wired and wireless networks as well as IP + optical networks, provides AI-based proactive network Operations and Maintenance (O&M), and offers a simple, flexible, and easy-to-manage high-performance network for universities.
