The partnership, which began in May 2018, first focused on overhauling SWU's core network, backbone network, and monitoring system. In the second phase, the partnership looked at building high-speed wireless connections that provide unlimited access to educational resources, as well as creating a database powered by artificial intelligence (AI) systems to support the university’s research.
Students at the Srinakharinwirot University (SWU) in Thailand will be able to attend more seamless hybrid classes and use augmented or virtual reality (VR) for experiential learning as SWU realises its Smart University vision.
To support that goal, the university is working with Huawei to upgrade its information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure. “[This move enables us] to move from an analogue to an integrated, intelligent and connected university,” says Assoc. Prof. Dr. Somchai Santiwatanakul, president of Srinakharinwirot University, during a media tour at the university’s Prasarnmit campus in downtown Bangkok yesterday.
