Guangdong’s 10-campus university of 18 square kilometers goes wireless to boost learning outcomes and share resources online.
Guangzhou University City (GZUC), officially known as the Guangzhou Higher Education Mega Centre has big plans. Located in China’s Guangdong Province, GZUC is home to 10 of the province’s universities’ campuses, many of whom also have campuses located elsewhere. GZUC can accommodate up to 200,000 students, 20,000 teachers and 50,000 staff.

Wireless Technology for an Unwired Campus
Intel is working with the Guangdong Department of Education (DoE) on a variety of programs to develop GZUC as mega high-tech, unwired campus in China. The DoE sees broadband wireless access on campus as one of the key technologies to meet its e-learning requirements and vision of creating a world-class unwired campus, along with Wi-Fi enabled laptops and technologyenabled teaching methods. Work is ongoing to unwire GZUC, and already, five of the 10 university campuses have been Wi-Fi enabled. GZUC is currently populated mostly with freshmen and sophomores, with a currently estimated student count of more than 100,000.
