WS-C3650-48FWD-S Use Case
High-Density Campus Wireless Deployment with Catalyst 3650 48-Port PoE
In a multi-building university campus, IT teams deploy the WS-C3650-48FWD-S to power 200+ Wi-Fi 6 APs via 48-port PoE and aggregate traffic over dual 10 GbE uplinks. Outcome: seamless campus-wide wireless roaming, centralized policy enforcement with Cisco DNA, and 40% faster network provisioning—enabling reliable mobile learning and research collaboration.
Unified Communications & Video Collaboration in Branch Offices
A global retailer equips each regional store with the Catalyst 3650 48-port switch to support IP phones, HD video endpoints, and digital signage. With built-in QoS, 5 AP licenses and redundant 10 GbE uplinks, the network delivers crystal-clear voice calls, smooth video conferencing, and real-time inventory updates. Benefit: 30% reduction in voice quality issues and 25% faster rollout of new store sites.
Secure IoT Segmentation & Power Delivery in Healthcare Facilities
A 300-bed hospital uses the WS-C3650-48FWD-S to segment medical IoT devices, surveillance cameras, and nurse-call systems into separate VRFs. The switch’s 48-port PoE powers bedside monitors and access points, while Cisco TrustSec enforces HIPAA-compliant access controls. Result: fortified patient data security, 50% fewer network breaches, and a consolidated infrastructure that cuts operational costs by 20%.
