The smart campus
Build a connected campus to transform work, learning and safety
Today’s smart campus network is built on a foundation of connectivity designed to increase productivity, efficiency, learning, and safety. Reliable high-speed fiber rings, inside plant fiber, PoE (power over Ethernet) and powered fiber create a solid infrastructure for Wi-Fi, cellular and IoT network coverage—inside and out. Converged wired and wireless management solutions simplify support, enhance network performance and make everything easier to use.
More than a vital IT asset, the campus network—and all it enables—reflects the vision and values of the organization. Whether you’re building a smart university campus, smart medical campus or smart corporate campus, CommScope helps you shape and transform the future.
Challenges and opportunities
Universal connectivity
Universal connectivity is the primary requirement for a smart campus, supporting all manner of users, devices and applications. It includes a campus-wide network featuring copper and fiber backbone; ubiquitous wireless coverage—Wi-Fi and cellular, indoors and out; high-speed switching and reliable powered fiber; plus, the vision and experience to bring it all together.
Connected edge devices
Every campus is different, but all face a common challenge: how to power and connect a variety of remote devices to ensure network dependability and physical safety throughout the campus. CommScope’s smart campus solutions make it possible without intruding on the environment.
