This project is located at the Tianhe Campus (main campus) of Guangdong Engineering Vocational and Technical College, which has approximately 10,000 full-time students and over 600 faculty and staff. The goal of this upgrade and renovation is to create a "smart campus" with integrated, unified connectivity, comprehensive, refined services, and secure, convenient management and control, serving students and faculty in their learning, teaching, and entertainment lives.

I. Current Network Status

♦ The original network cabling was complex, impacted by electromagnetic interference and transmission distance, resulting in a poor service experience.

♦ Aging lines: The original network used aging twisted-pair lines, leading to widespread unauthorized wiring and connection.

♦ Difficulty in operation: The coexistence of multiple mobile and telecom networks resulted in a complex architecture and low operational efficiency.

♦ IPv6 network transition issues: Network equipment must support dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 transition capabilities.

II. Customer Requirements

♦ High-speed connectivity

Integrated wired and wireless connectivity for high-speed internet access, data interoperability, and social campus applications.

♦ Convenient Management

Improve campus operational efficiency, achieving low TCO, self-service management, and unified management of multi-network integration.

♦ Secure Campus

Multi-dimensional access authentication, network behavior tracing, network application monitoring, and network attack prevention.

III. Application Solution

♦ Utilizes a large, Layer 2, all-optical network architecture consisting of OLTs and ONUs, with independent fiber optic cables extending to dormitories and integrated ONUs for wired and wireless access. This creates an IPv4 & IPv6 dual-stack platform with unified network management and operations.

♦ Enables smart campus management, including online bill payment, online security acceptance, and visual management.

IV. Construction Results

♦ 10G backbone, 1G to the desktop, for a high-speed, stable network experience.

♦ Reduces failure rate by 80% and reduces operations and maintenance workload by 40%.

♦ Multi-service convergence and unified transport for flexible expansion.
