WS-C3650-48TS-S Use Case
Scalable Campus Access Deployment for Mid-Size Enterprises
In a 500-employee corporate campus, IT architects deploy a stack of WS-C3650-48TS-S switches at the building’s access layer, supporting 48 desktop and IP-phone ports plus four 1 Gbps uplinks to the distribution core. Leveraging IP Base routing, QoS and software-defined segmentation, the solution delivers predictable performance for VoIP, video conferencing and data services. Outcome: simplified network management, seamless firmware upgrades via Cisco StackWise, and 30 % faster desktop onboarding—with high availability and capacity headroom for future growth.
Secure, Cost-Efficient Branch Office Aggregation for Retail Chains
A national retail chain standardizes on the WS-C3650-48TS-S at each 2,000 sq ft branch to aggregate PoE midspan devices, POS terminals and CCTV cameras across 48 data ports. Four dedicated 1 Gbps uplinks using OSPF from the IP Base license ensure resilient WAN connectivity to headquarters. Built-in access-control lists and segmentation isolate sensitive payment traffic from guest Wi-Fi. Outcome: uniform security policies across 100+ locations, 25 % reduction in on-site hardware costs, and rapid rollback capabilities to minimize downtime during maintenance.
High-Density Wireless AP Backhaul for University Stadiums
In a 30,000-seat university sports stadium, network engineers deploy multiple WS-C3650-48TS-S switches in distributed closets to aggregate up to 48 wireless access points per switch. Four 1 Gbps uplinks are configured in EtherChannel to the data center core, providing redundant, high-throughput paths. IP Base features enable VRF-lite segmentation of guest, faculty and IoT traffic and advanced QoS for live video streaming. Outcome: reliable coverage for 20,000 concurrent users, zero packet loss during peak events and centralized, policy-driven management via Cisco DNA Center.
