A Canadian university operates three campuses within Toronto. With the continuous growth of smart devices and digital applications, the existing network infrastructure can no longer meet current academic and administrative demands. The university plans to upgrade the outdated network at its main campus while establishing seamless connectivity between Campus A and Campus B.

Over years of IT development, the university has deployed several application systems, but historical issues remain. The administration aims to systematically address these shortcomings through this network upgrade, achieving unified planning and long-term scalability.

This client has collaborated with AICPLIGHT for three years and is a university with high recognition domestically. Campus network projects typically involve multi-site deployment and significant hardware investment, but this project faces the practical constraint of a limited budget, placing higher demands on solution design flexibility and cost control capabilities.

School administrators wish to reuse existing hardware equipment as much as possible during the network upgrade, rather than replacing all network facilities entirely.

The goal is a high-performance, scalable, maintainable, and secure network to support ongoing upgrades.

Academic, financial, and HR systems operate in isolation, hindering cross-departmental data flow and causing inefficiencies (e.g., financial risks). The university seeks AICPLIGHT's support in building an integrated campus platform alongside its IT team.

To address the client's needs, AICPLIGHT designed and recommended a Multi-Campus Network Integration Solution.

Preserved the existing infrastructure while integrating high-speed upgrades, minimizing capital expenditure.

Implemented MLAG (Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation) for redundant core switching, improving fault tolerance and future-proofing the network.

AICPLIGHT's technical and business teams provided end-to-end collaboration. Post-deployment, they offered free value-added services, including:

Through this multi-campus network integration project, AICPLIGHT not only delivered a high-performance network upgrade within budget constraints but also successfully established high-speed interconnection and resource sharing across all three campuses. The project demonstrated AICPLIGHT's expertise in complex campus network planning and seamless network convergence.

Beyond mere network deployment, AICPLIGHT took a holistic approach by actively contributing to the unified campus teaching platform—aligning with the university's long-term digital transformation goals. This proactive engagement ensured sustainable value, empowering the institution to evolve into an efficient, intelligent, and future-ready digital campus.
