C. Technology Linking Campus
1) Optical Fiber2) Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
17
1) Optical Fiber
» Use pairs of fibers carry the data in different direction
» 10G Ethernet fiber» 40G Ethernet fiber
Reliable
18
1) Optical Fiber
Why BU use optical fiber in connection?
a) thinner and lighterb) High speed (light speed)c) high bandwidthd) Relatively little weaken of signals
(low attenuation)e) cheap

19
1) Optical Fiber
6. Enable Triple Play (三網合一 ) service Public Switched Telephone Network (voice), Internet (data) and Cable Television (video) provided in one single access connection
Request:a. High data transmit capacityb. High qualityc. Cost-efficiency
20
1) Optical Fiber
In the PAST….• rent from the telecommunication company
Now…• connect the network by ourselves• use the BU Bridge to connect the two campus
21
→ Can design the network to suit our own need without any restrict from the telecommunication companies
1) Optical Fiber

2) Metropolitan Area Network
Franki centre (SCE) & Shek Mun
Why?Application for using its own optical fiberfrom Office of Communication Authority

Government Regulations
Government may consider the followings:1. The installation method and location of equipment.2. Make available space in the common parts and the in-building telecommunications system to the operators.
2) Metropolitan Area Network-
Source: . Government Regulations- OFCA I0004 (12) (http://www.ofca.gov.hk/filemanager/ofca/common/Industry/telecom/inote0004_12e.pdf)
25
3. Can the operators use the existing in-building telecommunications systems?4. Can the installation comply with code of practice in Hong Kong ?5. Public space more than 2m from an external wall of one building?

26
For HKBU,Not allowed to dig tunnel unless authorized
Therefore, Rent the Metropolitan Area Network from
telecommunication company.
2) Metropolitan Area Network
27
2) Metropolitan Area Network
Features:1. Support high-speed disaster recovery system2. High speed connection3. capable of supporting ten of millions and hundreds of millions of bits per second
28
Why choose MAN?1.Cover greater distance than LAN2. High speed,recover quickly from
router/switch failure3. Dynamically allocate more
bandwidth on demand
2) Metropolitan Area Network
29
D. Internet in BU
1) HARNET2) Wired Ethernet3) BU WiFi

2) Cable connection in HKBU campus
35
● Connect PC and printer by Ethernet on each floor.
● Ethernet: a family of computer networking technologies for local area networks (LANs)
● There is a LAN on each floor.
2) Cable connection in HKBU campus
36
● The wires are not long enough
● In each building, there is a CABLE CLOSET on each floor.
CABLE CLOSET: used to store all the wires connected to computer, Notebook on the same floor
● There is a main cable closet which is responsible for connecting the all cable closet on the floor.
2) Cable connection in HKBU campus
37
●Main cable closet from different floors connect to each other.
● All the PC and printer in one building are interconnected by switch. It becomes a LAN
● Therefor, all the PC and printer in the building are connected
2) Cable connection in HKBU campus
38
● Connection of cable closet from different building will connect to switch.
● The switch will then connect to router● Router:a device that forwards data packets
between computer networks, creating an overlay internetwork. A router is connected to two or more data lines from different networks.
2) Cable connection in HKBU campus
39
● Each building has a router connect to other bulidings
● OPTICAL FIBER is used to transmit data between router and switch and the data transmit between router
● All the data from different building will be transmitted to AAB building by router.
● Connect to HARNET Internet.
● Under this process, different building PC are firstconnected by switch and then through the router connect to the Internet.

How does Wi-Fi work?
42
3) Wi-Fi -Access Point- More than 1,800
- Appear in every floor of buildings in HKBU (98%)
- be easy to be hinder by walls - Not appear in some floors (like office) because the staff fears the access point will affect their health
43
3) Wi-Fi
•The four types of wifi in HKBU
1. BU-Standard 2. BUSRH-WiFi 3. BU-Web 4. BU-Guest
Encryption
44
3) Wi-Fi- Encryption make the content become unreadable
- Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) is a stronger and better version of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) fixes all WEP privacy vulnerabilities

G. The Past and FuturePast✗ Don’t have BU Bridge✗ Don’t have own fiber ✗ Government Regulations
Rent from HK Office of the Communications Authority (OFCA)
61
-Incident
✗Some mouse nipped the fibers✗The fibers was damaged
Use steel wire to surround the fibers to protect
G. The Past and Future
62
∵Demand Increase
Future ✓Provide more fibers for users✓Use the better quality fibers ✓Do not remove the old one because it is very
difficult
☆Build up the three tunnels on the groundbetween Wai Hang Sports Centre and HSH
