Campus-wide Connectivity Solutions
A campus network links LANs within organisations like corporations, universities, or government agencies, typically across nearby buildings.
​
For colleges and universities, it connects administrative, academic, and residential buildings within a specific area. In corporations, it interconnects key departments and staff buildings.
​
Ideally, campus networks use optical fibre media, often with gigabit or 10-Gigabit Ethernet technology. Wi-Fi hotspots may supplement connectivity in areas like student centres or libraries.
​
Additionally, "campus network" may refer to geographically diverse Internet users sharing common interests, such as national student initiatives or sustainability forums like the Roosevelt Institute Campus Network or the International Sustainable Campus Network (ISCN).
