Case Study: Dalian Neusoft University of Information achieves gigabit, reliable campus Wi‑Fi and scalable smart‑campus services with RUCKUS Networks

Reliable and Secure Digital Learning Environment Elevates the Student Experience

Dalian Neusoft University of Information, a private university in northeast China with over 14,000 students, faced chronic Wi‑Fi problems from an aging 802.11n/g network: slow speeds, frequent disconnections, and overcrowded access points that couldn’t support peak‑hour streaming or modern campus services. The university needed a more reliable, high‑capacity network to improve the student experience and enable value‑added services and big‑data analytics.

The university upgraded campus-wide networking with 1,530 Ruckus access points, Ruckus SmartZone virtual controllers (with redundancy) and 65 ICX 7150 switches, using BeamFlex+ RF optimization and 802.1X security. The deployment delivered gigabit‑class speeds and stable performance for video, unified communications and VDI, streamlined user and IT onboarding, reduced O&M costs, and supports about 3,000 concurrent clients today with capacity to scale to 8,000, while enabling future analytics (Cloudpath and SPoT) for traffic visualization and attendance.
