The H3C integrated wireless solution, which included about 700 H3C WA2100 series and WA2200 series FIT access points, and three WX6103 access controllers, would connect Xipu, Jiuli and Emei campuses of SWJTU, providing wireless access to 50,000 teachers and students in classrooms, lecture halls, dormitories and outdoor common areas. Teachers, students and visitors to SWJTU would enjoy fast, secure and reliable wireless network and inter-campus roaming services.

Bob Mao, CEO, 3Com, said: "We offer a wide range of networking products and solutions in the industry, which is why organisations such as Southwest Jiaotong University are turning to us to build such significant wireless and wired networks. Our H3C secure, scalable and flexible integrated mobile network solution will result in a wired and wireless integrated digital campus platform that meets SWJTU’s current and future needs.”

Designed to provide the largest capacity and the highest performance in the industry, each AC module can access 640 FIT APs and support 20,000 wireless client devices.  In addition, its scalability safeguards the university’s investment and improves the overall processing capability of the system.

In addition to the security and easy-to-use management tools, H3C’s integrated mobile network solution would protect the university’s infrastructure investment by supporting future expansion as well as the next generation of technical protocols such as IPv6, 802.11n and WAPI.  The wireless network would also support wireless surveillance, VoWIFI and other value-added wireless applications such as Page Push.
