Ruijie's Minimalist Lighting Appears at the University Informatization Development Seminar, Focusing on New Infrastructure of Smart Campus

On April 16-17, the 2021 University Informatization Development Seminar, hosted by the Education Informatization Branch of the China Higher Education Society and organized by Fujian University of Technology, was held in Fuzhou, Fujian. Members of the Education Informatization Branch of the National Higher Education Society, as well as specially invited leaders, experts, scholars and corporate representatives attended the meeting. A total of more than 350 experts, scholars and representatives from more than 200 universities gathered in Fuzhou to discuss the direction of informatization development of universities in the "14th Five-Year Plan", focus on the content of informatization construction of universities in the new era, and exchange experiences and explore directions.

As a partner serving educational informatization for more than 20 years, Ruijie Networks was invited to participate in the seminar, and Huang Zhen, general manager of Ruijie's higher vocational education industry department, released Ruijie's simplified Ethernet all-optical solution for colleges and universities, which attracted widespread attention from the guests.

New challenges for smart campus construction in the first year of the 14th Five-Year Plan

Huang Zhen, General Manager of Ruijie Vocational Education Industry Department, released the simplified Ethernet all-optical network solution for colleges and universities

Through three five-year constructions, the information construction of colleges and universities has made great progress and has reached a very high level. Standing at the new starting point of the 14th Five-Year Plan, the "new infrastructure" represented by new network infrastructure, artificial intelligence, and big data has developed rapidly. Based on its in-depth understanding of the higher education industry for more than 20 years and its solution innovation capabilities, Ruijie has proposed the overall architecture of the future smart campus, which requires "simple network, intelligent service, and strong teaching" . The "new infrastructure of smart campus" must be: structurally optimized, intensive and efficient, safe and reliable .

The simplified Ethernet all-optical network fully supports the next-generation campus network

During the construction of the next-generation campus network, we face many challenges, such as rapid business expansion, increasingly higher network requirements for teaching business, difficult operation and maintenance management, complex network expansion, and multi-network integration. The demand for high-bandwidth, low-latency, and well-scalable network support is particularly urgent.

Ruijie has launched the simplified Ethernet all-optical network solution for colleges and universities , which effectively solves the problems of weak scalability of traditional Ethernet services, complex launch of new services, long construction cycle, and complex maintenance caused by multiple weak current equipment in the construction of college campus networks. It meets the needs of teaching, dormitories, offices, IoT and operation and maintenance scenarios in colleges and universities, and fully supports the business evolution of the next-generation campus network.

What is the difference between Ruijie's simplified Ethernet all-optical network

Minimalist light in teaching scenes

Teaching applications in colleges and universities are updated and iterated quickly, and there are more and more information points in the classroom. Every time an information point is added, the wiring construction must be rebuilt. Not to mention the high wireless concurrency and large traffic in the new smart classrooms and VR/AR classrooms.

Ruijie Simplified Ethernet All-Optical Network:

• Fiber optic cables are installed in rooms, providing close access to services and allowing for flexible expansion.
• 100G to buildings, 10G to rooms, one-time deployment, 10-year worry-free. It meets the bandwidth, layer 2 broadcast and multicast support of all types of classrooms, such as multimedia classrooms, smart classrooms, VR/AR classrooms, cloud training rooms, etc., to better support teaching.
• Silent switches with different port forms such as 4/8/16/24 are provided, and 2.5G POE ports are supported to connect Wi-Fi 6 devices to fully utilize Wi-Fi 6 performance; SDN management is supported, and devices are plug-and-play, greatly reducing the workload of operation and maintenance.

Minimalist light in office scene

Offices in colleges and universities change frequently, information points are not fixed , and they are often moved during summer and winter vacations. Some remote offices are more than 100 meters away from the weak current room, making it difficult to connect.

Ruijie Simplified Ethernet All-Optical Network:

• Fiber optic cables go directly to the office, access terminals can be flexibly expanded, silent switches with different port forms such as 4/8/16/24 are provided, and 2.5G POE ports are supported to connect Wi-Fi 6 devices to fully exert the performance of Wi-Fi 6; SDN management is supported, and devices are plug-and-play, greatly reducing the workload of operation and maintenance.
• Using mature Ethernet protocols, services such as printer/file sharing can be shared at Layer 2 without any obstacles.

Minimalist light in dormitory scene

At present, the number of concurrent online users in student dormitories at peak times is often tens of thousands , which poses a double challenge to network performance and concurrency. Student dormitories also have the characteristics of high room density and thick walls, making network coverage difficult .

Ruijie Simplified Ethernet All-Optical Network:

• The optical fiber of the all-optical intelligent distribution host is directly connected to the micro AP for easy expansion.
• The all-optical intelligent distribution host manages all micro APs, with minimal wireless interference and excellent experience.
• The micro AP comes with 4 wired network ports, which can be expanded on demand; the micro AP supports Wi-Fi 6 and has high performance.
• Micro AP supports single-core optical fiber connection, saving cables and reusing old ones.

Ruijie's simplified Ethernet all-optical network can also quickly achieve network access and security management of IoT terminals . Business departments only need to apply for IP network segments, and business launch does not require the coordination of the network center, and the business can be launched as soon as the line is plugged in. The management department approves network access with one click. Ruijie's simplified Ethernet all-optical network allows optical fiber to enter classrooms and offices. However, after the optical fiber is introduced, a switch is deployed in each classroom, and the number of access devices increases by 3 to 4 times. If the device still needs to be manually configured and launched, the efficiency will be very low. Ruijie's solution can achieve zero configuration and launch of devices when the university network is started.

Once launched, Ruijie's simplified Ethernet all-optical network solution has been recognized by a large number of university users and is currently being used on a large scale in universities such as China Pharmaceutical University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and Sichuan University of Science and Chemical Technology.

With more than 20 years of experience in education, Ruijie has been closely associated with the informatization of higher education. In the future, Ruijie will continue to iterate and update all-scenario solutions for higher education institutions through in-depth scenarios and technological innovation, innovate educational informatization, and provide energy storage for the 14th Five-Year Plan for higher vocational education customers across the country, thereby helping to realize the modernization of education.
