Dongshin University Builds Region's First 'Wi-Fi 6' Ultra-High-Speed Wireless Campus

High-Quality Indoor and Outdoor Wireless Network Services Across All Campuses

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Dongshin University has become the first university in the Gwangju and Jeonnam regions to install WiFi 6 throughout its entire campus, establishing a high-speed wireless campus.

On the 31st, Dongshin University announced that it held an opening ceremony at the main entrance in front of the central library to publicly announce the ‘WiFi 6 High-Speed Wireless Campus Construction.’

Considering the increasing importance of non-face-to-face classes in the post-COVID-19 era, Dongshin University invested a budget of 850 million KRW during this summer vacation to install WiFi 6, which provides high-speed wireless internet service throughout the indoor and outdoor areas of the campus, the first among universities in Gwangju and Jeonnam.

WiFi 6 is the next-generation WiFi that can provide optimal internet quality even in environments with many users connected, surpassing existing WiFi in speed, coverage, and security.

Students and faculty members of Dongshin University will now be able to use high-quality wireless network services anywhere on the 190,000-pyeong campus.

The quality of services such as academic administration systems, electronic attendance systems, and campus apps, which are frequently used by members, is expected to improve significantly.

Since user connection statistics and wireless quality and usage status by each building and college can be immediately identified, both wired and wireless equipment can be efficiently managed simultaneously.

Previously, Dongshin University declared a ‘New Challenge Declaration’ based on WiFi 6 to lead the post-COVID-19 era and the Fourth Industrial Revolution era.

The declaration includes Dongshin University’s vision such as strengthening eco-friendly education, student-centered education that respects students as true partners in education, expanding the campus beyond local, national, and international borders, and fully adopting hybrid classes that actively utilize online channels instead of face-to-face classes.

Going forward, Dongshin University plans to actively utilize WiFi 6 for both face-to-face and non-face-to-face classes and academic administration by significantly expanding studios and building next-generation educational infrastructure.

Choi Il, president of Dongshin University, said, “By establishing a high-speed wireless campus where mobile devices can be freely used in every corner of the campus, we expect to reduce students’ communication costs and lead the post-COVID-19 era and the Fourth Industrial Revolution era by fully adopting hybrid non-face-to-face classes.”
