WS-C3650-24PWD-S Use Case
High-Density Enterprise Campus Wireless Deployment
In a 5-building enterprise campus, IT teams deploy the WS-C3650-24PWD-S Catalyst 3650 24-Port PoE switch (IP Base) with 5 AP licenses to power and manage 20 Cisco Air-APs per building. Leveraging 2×10 Gb uplinks to the core fabric, the switch delivers seamless mobility, automated QoS for voice/video, and 30 W per port PoE+ to each access point. Outcome: simplified centralized management via Cisco DNA, 99.99% Wi-Fi uptime, and 50% faster guest onboarding while future-proofing for 802.11ac Wave 2 densification.
Smart Office IoT and VoIP Integration
A global financial HQ integrates hundreds of IP phones, environmental sensors, and digital signage over a WS-C3650-24PWD-S Catalyst 3650 (IP Base) with 5 AP licenses. The 24 PoE+ ports supply up to 30 W per port to VoIP handsets and IoT devices, while built-in QoS and dynamic VLAN segmentation isolate voice, video, and sensor traffic. Dual 10 Gb uplinks ensure low-latency backhaul to the data center. Outcome: 40% reduction in cabling costs, real-time analytics for workspace utilization, and secure multi-tenant traffic separation.
Secure Multi-Site Branch Networking with 10 Gb Uplinks
A retail chain deploys the Catalyst 3650 WS-C3650-24PWD-S (IP Base) with 5 AP licenses in each branch office to connect PoE surveillance cameras, Wi-Fi APs, and point-of-sale systems. The 24 PoE+ ports power devices, while two 10 Gb uplinks backhaul encrypted traffic to the corporate data center. Integrated Access Control (IACL) and Cisco TrustSec enforce policy across branches. Outcome: 60% faster failover, end-to-end encryption compliance, and centralized dashboard monitoring for consistent service levels.
