Campus networks today need to be able to evolve and scale in-line with the rapidly advancing technologies, particularly when it comes to upgrading wired networks and integrating with wireless tech, IoT and connected devices. Additionally, the campus networks must be able to keep up with the constantly increasing demands for speed, security and data to provide seamless connectivity to users within and outside of the campus networks. 

However, networking solutions for campuses – be it educational institutes or offices or large multi-building complexes – must be designed after thoroughly assessing the individual needs for network capacity and capabilities, and device and compliance requirements, among other factors. The solutions can range from a simple single switch to complex high-density wired or wireless solutions, while the deployment itself depends on the risk tolerance, acceptable service outages and other scenarios specific to on-premises and cloud networks.
