Smart Campus
Overview
Smart campus is an emerging trend that allows educational institutions to combine smart technologies with physical infrastructure for improving services, decision making, campus sustainability etc.
In order to implement interactive learning and message digitization, Z-COM smart campus solution through technology of edge computing and AIoT, builds a visualized, centralized and flexible platform. We integrate school management software and students’ life by deploying a high-speed, reliable and secure Wi-Fi network, creating an environment that learning happens everywhere. Smart Campus will be an all-in-one complete education management system to manage schools activities.
• System security can distinguish internet and intranet to improve network security.
• Flexible and reliable network structure: WLC is able to manage multiple APs
• Fast and Stable connectivity for High density applications optimizes users’experience
• Supporting large bandwidths keeps digital learning online.
• Smart campus integrated with AIoT, can expand with surveillance system to protect campus security.
It is imperative to foster interdisciplinary digital talents.
We know that “Foster interdisciplinary digital talents” is imperative clearly from whether “The Digital Nation and Innovative Economic Development Program (also known as "DIGI+") (2017~2025)” or “Forward-looking Infrastructure Development Program: Digital infrastructure” by the Executive Yuan, or “Education 2030” proposed by UNESCO.
Transform the current education by leveraging smart technologies like artificial intelligence, big data, the internet of things, and information communication technologies to promote educational developments and implement education reformation. There are serval methods: (1) upgrade hardware facilities to construct a smart learning environment; (2) combine with digital education materials on cloud platform and promote new technology knowledge; (3) cultivate teachers to develop new forms of education materials, leverage the smart facilities into learning activities and integrate technologies with interdisciplinary education materials to motivate students.
Does your campus have the following problems?
A fast and stable network is necessary for the digital learning.
Z-COM launched Wi-Fi 6 Access Points (AP), providing stable and seamless network environments via wireless networks. The deployment of APs into campus enables students to use the internet and access internet resources anywhere with Wi-Fi coverage. A fast and reliable network can enhance learning efficiency. However,students learn through mobile devices that means teachers need to offer diverse learning methods such as videos, remote teaching or online courses which require large bandwidths.
Z-COM's Wi-Fi 6 AP supports ultra-fast transmission and can be configured by ZCOM WLC (wireless LAN controller) which supports quality of service band steering and bandwidth control, bringing users excellent experiences.
Campuses cover large areas and not easy for security protection. It is schools’ mission to allow students learning safely. Z-COM’s smart campus solution allows you upgrade to WLC easily with expandable IP Camera surveillance system. With the real-time monitoring video, control center of campus is able to handle a contingency quickly.
Reform education and develop smart campuses
It is necessary to upgrade and strengthen the campus network infrastructure and digital learning facilities for the new teaching/ learning method i.e. online multi-media learning via mobile devices.
A. Start to improve the classrooms with information technology integrated into digital teaching and learning, upgrade the network infrastructure for all schools with the availability of in-campus backbone networks and centralized wireless structures, as well as broadband connectivity and speeds
B. Construct cloud digital learning resources (digital audio/ video teaching material, education APP, digital books and digital platforms)
C. Innovate teaching and learning applications (computing concept, programming design, AI, AR/VR, digital manufacturing and international learning)
D. Assistance to the on-the-job training and education for teachers of enhancement with information technology ability to operate digital facilities and integration with teaching activities and teaching materials.
E. Establish the mechanism of digital teaching resources center
To build up a smart learning environment for new generation, cultivate students in-depth learning ability and foster digital talents, it's necessary to create campus networks with high quality through improving hardware and software to facilitate learning and teaching and continuously promoting campus network infrastructures as the smart campus as a key to taking education to the next level.
