Third, it makes network quality perceptible and its security collaboration capabilities help us monitor security of the entire campus network." ——Mr. Yu Mingsheng, head of SWUN information center "The native AC and uniform user management functions of Huawei agile switch can full meet our requirement for information network construction. We are especially interested in the SVF feature as this technology will significantly simplify network management." —Mr. Xie Shengjun, Mr. Wang Xiang from SWUN campus network management center Advances and innovation in network technologies, such as open integration and resource consolidation, are rapidly evolving campus networks into intelligently integrated platforms capable of supporting the next generation of learning, research, and entertainment in educational environments. SWUN is located in China’s Sichuan province, and is one of six universities of nationalities directly managed by the State Ethnic Affairs Commission. The university has three campuses and a high-tech research and demonstration center. After 11 years of development, SWUN’s campus network now services all three campuses. The network connects over 80 level-2 websites as well as 15 application systems including the teaching and scientific research platforms. As various applications had become increasingly dependent on the campus network, performance of the campus network had become increasingly critical to the activities of the university. As a result, the design and evolution of the campus network had become a priority task in recent years. With sharp increases of data in the applications systems, the campus network had begun to see some new challenges.

In 2014, Huawei became Amsterdam ArenA's overall network solution provider and partnered with K&H to provide full Wi-Fi coverage for the stadium. The stadium operator had high expectations on the Wi-Fi network and required the network to be highly reliable, easy to operate and maintain, and capable of providing full signal coverage for the stadium. To meet the expectations, constructing a fullyfunctioning wireless network is the first step. Through the network, the spectators can access the Internet at anytime, from anywhere and the stadium can provision various value-added services, including online shopping, video replay, and indoor positioning.

Agile Network Creates Infinite Possibilities. Amsterdam ArenA uses Huawei's latest agile network solution, which deploys two S12700 agile switches as the

On matchdays when crowds of spectators delight in sharing their joys and excitements by FaceTime, a network fault will totally ruin the delights. Therefore, network stability is significantly important. Huawei's unique CSS2 technology virtualizes two S12700 agile switches into one logical switch to obtain higher cluster bandwidth and enhance core node reliability. The unprecedented CSS2 technology implements 1+N MPU backup, making the network extremely reliable. It is a very challenging task for the stadium to maintain and manage a network that can accommodate 53,000 users, especially that the stadium has more than one network service provider. Huawei agile network solution makes wireless network management and maintenance easy and simple for the stadium's maintenance team.

Conclusion As network statistics technologies continue to develop, the daily life of people, the economy, production, and shopping are becoming more and more centralized on the Internet. This makes the construction of an e-government platform network crucial. Traditional person-to-person government system models have restricted government from working efficiency. There is an emergent need to construct a new network platform to strengthen the public service level. To meet this demand, a unified, standardized, interoperable, and shared e-government network platform must be constructed. Use network information technologies, integrate information resources, optimize service procedures, implement approval information sharing and collaborative approval, as well as utilize tools such as digital certificates and electronic seals to achieve the following functions: 1. Allow enterprises and the general public to submit applications over the Internet. 2. Enable approval data to be transmitted over the network. 3. Allow administrative departments to approve applications over the network. 4. Publish approval results on the network.

Your Wish • Our Ways —Huawei Agile Switch S12700 Helps BAIC to Build the Agile Network BAIC and Agile Switch Beijing Automotive Group (officially Beijing Automotive Industry Holding Co., Ltd., also known as BAIC Group or Beiqi) is one of five largest Chinese automotive groups. BAIC Group is mainly engaged in automotive manufacturing, production of auto parts, service trade, R&D, and readjustment. It is also the development and planning center, capital operation center, product development center, and talent center of the Beijing automotive industry. In June 2013, Beijing Automobile Works Co., Ltd. (BAW) was founded. It is a subsidiary of BAIC that produces light off-load vehicles and military vehicles. This is an important measure for building Chinese specialized military vehicle and SUV base, which was proposed by Beijing municipal leaders. The blueprint of BAW is ready to come out. On August 8, 2013, BAIC leaders were invited to join the agile switch press conference. Participants are deeply affected by the press conference. The subject "Now, it is time to change the future" of the first agile switch S12700 press conference strikes resonance in BAIC leaders' heart and mind. The topics of agile switch, agile network, and continuous evolution draft the future blueprint, which is also the objective of BAW network construction. Huawei communicates with BAIC multiple times after the conference. The switching fabric hardware cluster technology CSS2, large-capacity entries, and native AC (wired and wireless convergence), fully programmable architecture of Huawei agile switch S12700 fully meet requirements of BAW future network construction.

Being customer-oriented, BAIC quickly learns customers requirements, stipulates Big Data strategic planning, and formulates Big Data blueprint. New service models can be deployed to understand consumers' requirements. By doing this, BAIC can implement precision marketing and targeted advertising, reduce operation costs, and even accurately predict sales performance. To deploy innovative services, the lower-layer network must use advanced technologies. Network devices should be open to support new service deployment.

"Hardware, software, network devices, and information systems should use open protocols that are compatible with international standards."—This is the network design principle. Traditional network products carry many proprietary protocols or use current international standard protocols but cannot well support future international standard protocols. Huawei S12700 on the BAIC live network uses Huawei stable and reliable Versatile Routing Platform (VRP), hardware structure based on the core router. This ensures the leading connectivity. The S12700 not only uses international standard open protocols, but also is compatible with proprietary protocols of mainstream vendors.
