Singapore Computer Systems Limited (SCS) designed, built and commissioned a wired and wireless network infrastructure for Republic Polytechnic’s new 20-hectare campus at Woodlands. The wireless network infrastructure will connect Republic Polytechnic’s 12 ‘Learning Pods’ as well as its Republic Polytechnic Centre.
Republic Polytechnic’s new Woodlands campus is designed to be a wireless learning hub offering students and staff a modern and high-tech paperless environment, said Samuel Liu, Republic Polytechnic’s IT director.
The Cisco Unified Wireless Network comprises a unified wired and wireless solution that cost-effectively addresses issues such as wireless local-area network (WLAN) security, deployment, management, and control issues.
SCS deployed the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches as the core backbone of the system and will provide outsourced maintenance services on site. The network infrastructure includes Emerson Liebert uninterruptible power supply devices and comprises continuous connection; paperless organization remote access, and application, location, and user-aware modes.
SCS president and CEO, Tan Tong Hai, said, SCS aims to deploy these wireless technologies to other organisations in Singapore and the region together with our partner, Cisco Systems.
