WS-C3650-12X48UQ-E Use Case
High-Density Wi-Fi 6 Deployment in University Campus
Scenario: A large university deploys WS-C3650-12X48UQ-E (Catalyst 3650 48-port mGig with 4×10G uplink and IP Services) in each academic building’s wiring closet to power and aggregate Wi-Fi 6 access points requiring PoE++ and multi-gigabit backhaul. Benefit/Outcome: Delivers up to 2.5× higher per-AP throughput, seamless client roaming, centralized QoS and power management, and future-proof multi-gig connectivity—ensuring 10,000+ concurrent students enjoy high-density wireless performance without packet loss.
Secure Branch Office Routing and Segmentation for Finance
Scenario: A regional finance branch implements WS-C3650-12X48UQ-E with IP Services license to enable OSPF-EIGRP routing, Cisco TrustSec SGT segmentation and 4×10G uplinks to the data center core. Benefit/Outcome: Provides wire-rate L3 switching, dynamic policy-based access control, and encrypted data segmentation—reducing branch firewall load by 40%, accelerating inter-site failover to under 5 seconds and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Converged Multi-Gigabit PoE Surveillance Network in Stadium
Scenario: A professional sports stadium uses WS-C3650-12X48UQ-E to power over 60 4K PoE++ cameras, digital signage and access control devices across multiple concourse zones, with 4×10G uplinks to the security operations center. Benefit/Outcome: Enables up to 90W per port for 4K video streams, guarantees zero-frame loss with priority QoS, consolidates power and data on a single 48-port switch, and simplifies monitoring—improving incident response times by 50%.
