Hello, Fudan 5G campus network

By

Since last year, Fudan has been working on deploying a 5G campus network which allows access from any location in Shanghai, partnering with China’s three largest telecommunications carriers — China Unicom, China Mobile and China Telecom.

This means direct access to all online campus resources will be possible off campus without a VPN. According to the university’s Informatization Office, with the advance of nationwide 5G network infrastructure, Fudaners will be able to access Fudan’s Intranet in other cities in China in the future.  

Now the university is recruiting beta testers for the network. Interested in becoming one of the first to try the network? Read on.


What can the 5G campus network do?


With greatly improved data transmission efficiency, the 5G campus network allows:

A more stable connection for wireless e-card readers used in the campus entry scenario

Access to all Fudan’s Intranet resources without a VPN

Fast transfer of research data for cross-institution collaborations

and more...
