SWU aspires to become an "Innovative University". To this end, SWU comprehensively promotes infrastructure upgrades and constructs next-generation digital systems. Doing so injects new impetus into digital innovation and development of SWU, in turn contributing to talent cultivation for the Digital Thailand initiative.

As such, SWU pursues a more intelligent, personalized campus with a high-performance, easy-to-deploy, and simple-to-manage digital campus network. In this way, teachers and students alike can enjoy high-quality data services.

However, SWU's original ICT systems did not have enough bandwidth. Also, there was no centralized identity authentication and access management. Compounding the issue, the wireless network was unstable and did not cover all areas. All of these made it challenging for SWU to build security protection systems for a safer campus.

Mr. Somchai Santiwattanakul, President of SWU, said, "Our collaboration with Huawei now enables our students and professors to enjoy the latest digital technologies and benefit from new teaching methods for a cutting-edge educational experience. I would like to thank Huawei Thailand for this great opportunity that will enable SWU to enhance its reputation as an innovative university and a leader in the field of education."

Vincent Liu, President of Huawei's Global Enterprise Network Marketing & Solutions Sales Department, added, "Huawei's Intelligent Multi-Service Network Solution for Higher Education is a great fit to build a future-proof education and research network for SWU. This new network fully meets the complex network requirements of SWU by offering campus-wide network connectivity, multi-network convergence, and high-speed interconnection, serving more than 30,000 teachers and students and paving the way for evolution over the next 5 to 10 years."
