Huawei and The University of Hong Kong build next-generation smart campus

Huawei and the University of Hong Kong (HKU) have held a launch ceremony for The University of Hong Kong & Huawei Global Smart Campus Network Showcase.

This marks a new milestone in their collaboration on developing smarter campus network connectivity and infrastructures, with both parties committed to creating a global showcase for smart campus network innovation, which not only accelerates HKU’s digital and intelligent transformation, but also serves as a reference and inspiration for more universities worldwide.

The 10 Gbps campus network, powered by Wi-Fi 7, is deployed in multiple scenarios, such as libraries, main building (Loke Yew Hall), classrooms and HKU Station. These deployments ensure stable, smooth network connections for teaching applications in smart classrooms, libraries, study rooms and auditoriums – laying a solid foundation for HKU’s smart campus.

Moving forward, both parties will continue to work closely on smart networks and dive deeper into scenarios such as network security, intelligent Operations and Maintenance (O&M), and smart campus Internet of Things (IoT).

Jason He, President of Global Enterprise Data Communication Marketing & Solution Sales Dept, Huawei, said: “Currently, education is rapidly integrating with digital technology – this solution meets various campus scenario-specific needs while ensuring data security, ultimately delivering a fresh-new network experience.

“Looking forward, Huawei will continue our partnership with HKU to further create a high-quality educational environment, solidifying HKU’s leading position in global higher education. This cooperation can also set an excellent example for more Hong Kong universities to embark on their digital education journey.”
