DZS Selected as Supplier of FTTP and Campus Solutions for >11,000 Schools in South Korea
March 05 2019 - 8:05AM
DASAN Zhone Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: DZSI), a global leader in
fiber access transformation for enterprise and service provider
networks, announced that its Korean business unit DASAN Network
Solutions has been selected by the South Korean Ministry of
Education to provide SDN-based wired and wireless infrastructure
and network management. This School-Net project has entered its
pilot phase, connecting 22 elementary, middle and high schools
around the nation. The goal of the School-Net project over 3 years
is to modernize more than 11,000 school networks across the country
to enable DZS’s latest technologies in digital learning and smart
school operations.
New network demands for video and IoT in smart schools required
a full network modernization. In designing the solution for this
modernization project, there was an opportunity to also consolidate
management and improve productivity with SDN. Supported by central
control center, each of the 16 Education Offices nationwide will
maintain, upgrade, and support the network for its group of several
hundred schools. This optimizes the classroom experience and frees
teachers to focus on students. SDN provides automated state of the
art school networking and technology services for Education, so
problems can be fixed or new connectivity can added in a matter of
minutes versus days.
“Our team is proud to have been selected as the supplier in this
large-scale project that will benefit the young people of South
Korea and empower advancement,” said Dr. Steve Lee, Head of APAC
Business Unit, DZS. “With positive references from Universities and
School Systems worldwide, DZS will continue to engage Education
organizations to utilize modernized Fiber technologies, from POL
with our new FiberLANTM offering, to Fiber to the Premises with
10Gig and Enterprise Switches.”
Many school campuses in South Korea are comprised of one or more
multi-story buildings. Given the diversity of the locations and
student populations across the country, having the freedom to
choose the best network solution for the specific characteristics
of an individual school is important. Many school campus
networks will benefit from more efficient use of SDN-based switches
and access points; for others, PON-based networks will consist of
DZS’s efficient SDN-enabled OLT and ONTs.
DZS solutions are SDN-enabled, and can be centrally managed to
more reliably deliver outstanding levels of service in both Primary
and Higher Education environments. New learning in smart schools is
only possible if every student has a problem-free connection to
digital curriculum, made more efficient by centralized management
and SDN capabilities. This powerful new network infrastructure will
also serve new workloads over time, as security, monitoring, and
other smart building services are added to transform the digital
learning experience for students.
