Comba Telecom And China Unicom Jointly Announce Smart Campus Solution


Award-winning Solution Leverage Advantages of Comba Telecom’s Small Cell Products to Create Intelligent Learning Environment

 

(11 October, Hong Kong) – Comba Telecom Systems Holdings Limited (“Comba Telecom”, Hong Kong stock code: 2342), a global leading wireless solutions provider, and China Unicom Network Technology Research Institute (“China Unicom”) have co-announced the Smart Campus Solution which debuted at the PT Expo China 2017 with a demonstration of its features and applications to the public.

 

The core element of the solution is based on the open mobile network capacity proposed by China Unicom, incorporating the self-developed Small Cell products of Comba Telecom, to set up a Mobile Edge Computing (“MEC”) gateway which can refine the characteristics of campus businesses, and construct a new wireless experience for campus users. The Smart Campus Solution was acknowledged as an innovation, also garnering the Annual Outstanding MEC Case Award at the PT Expo China 2017.

 

The Smart Campus Solution, which can be specifically configured for network applications in different campus scenarios, incorporates integration of mobile network location, business localization, business acceleration, MEC, artificial intelligence ("AI") and some more technologies. The solution facilitates teaching effectiveness and efficiency through the electronic courseware and network classroom localization enabled by 4G mobile networks. Also, it helps the campus to realize efficient sharing of multi-school experimental resources by using the cloud-based applications. AI recognition and Augmented Reality (“AR”) teaching technologies advance the attendance system and teaching management in an intelligent way. The use of an electronic fence optimizes classroom seat reservations, which ensures overall efficiency in utilizing campus resources. The most important feature of the solution is that students are able to demonstrate best practices under a quality learning environment enabled by this interface of the open mobile network capacity.
