The primary goal of "Smart Campus" is to connect all the objects in the campus network through the Internet of Things technology. Technically, Smart Earth involves the use of RFID, QR code, video surveillance and other sensing technologies and equipment.
But what exactly is a "smart campus"? As a brand-new concept, different proponents give different interpretations, which is similar to the original cloud computing. With the participation of manufacturers, the "smart campus" is tied to specific products, such as the "smart campus" advocated by Jiangsu Telecom, and its important carrier is the campus "wing Phone Connect". "By integrating the information application platform of the Internet of Things and 3G technology, the" Wing Phone Connect "mobile phone integrates access cards, library cards and coin purses." China Telecom's propaganda article reads. It can also be foreseen that in the case of operators to schools.
Today, when the market is highly optimistic, China Mobile or China Unicom may be the next one who wants a piece of the "smart campus", and they will also have an interpretation of the "smart campus" based on their own products. Therefore, related questions inevitably arise: can the "smart campus" proposed and implemented by manufacturers make the informationization of colleges and universities develop healthily, stably and sustainably? An information worker in a university in Jiangsu made it clear: "The smart campus led by manufacturers, like the one-card construction led by banks in the past, has both opportunities and problems."
In addition, what is the difference between a smart campus and a digital campus? This is a common problem for almost all people who come into contact with the concept of "smart campus". Some people think that "smart campus" is the performance of digital campus upgrading to a certain stage and a stage of digital campus development. It can be seen that the cornerstone of "smart campus" is the construction and development of digital campus in the early stage. In other words, a "smart campus" must first have a unified infrastructure platform and a network environment covered by wired and wireless networks; Secondly, there should be a unified data sharing platform and a comprehensive information service platform.
