现代化的校园网有助于简化运营, reduce costs, 并为工作和学习提供了一个安全和关怀的地方.

对于今天的许多学生来说, their first taste of online and hybrid learning environments came during the global health crisis. And they liked it.

Add flexibility in course delivery to the many priorities educational institutions are juggling. Such as the pressure to up the quality of student-centric learning opportunities and make the role more rewarding for faculty members. Address the blossoming need to create a nurturing and supportive community that helps students stay on track and complete their education. Defend against all threats – both in terms of physical space and cyberspace.

That’s a handful for any single school administrator or IT manager. And after the health crisis – when so much regular work was waylaid – the situation is now reaching dire proportions on a global basis.

Modernising the campus network to address these challenges has never been so clearly needed.

A modern campus network makes it easy and efficient to securely support large volumes of users, data, devices, applications and systems end-to-end across wired and wireless networks, 包括校外地点. It also provides fast access to the high-capacity bandwidth to support applications and services that improve student success from every perspective.
