SolveForce Connected Campuses
A Campus Area Network (CAN) links multiple LANs across buildings or clusters within a defined campus, such as a university, enterprise headquarters, hospital, or industrial site. SolveForce designs CAN architectures that deliver high-capacity, low-latency connectivity with telecom-grade reliability, security, and compliance guardrails.
Quote output: CAN design deck + fiber/wireless BoM + routing & security overlays + SLO guardrails + acceptance evidence plan.
🎯 What You Get in a SolveForce CAN Quote
- Campus connectivity rails — fiber backbones, Ethernet fabrics, Wi-Fi 6/7 overlays, 5G/LTE small cells.
- Inter-building diversity — dual-path fiber, fixed wireless bridges, satellite backup.
- Network segmentation — VLANs, microsegmentation, SDN overlays for traffic control.
- Security guardrails — NAC (802.1X), ZTNA, firewall clusters, SIEM/SOAR integration.
- Performance SLOs — throughput, latency, jitter, and packet-loss targets across campus.
- Compliance overlays — HIPAA (healthcare campuses), FERPA (education), PCI DSS (retail campuses).
- Acceptance plan — OTDR light tests, RFC 2544 benchmarks, Wi-Fi roam evidence, NAC admits.
🛣️ Quote Process for CAN
- Scope & Intake (Day 0–3) — define campus layout, user density, compliance needs.
- Discovery & Supplier Graph (Day 3–10) — fiber availability, wireless coverage, IX/POP proximity.
- Design-to-Quote (Day 7–14) — CAN architecture, BoM, SLO tables, acceptance plan.
- Review & refine (Day 14–20) — optimize for diversity, roaming performance, compliance overlays.
- Finalize & order (Day 20+) — provision circuits, deploy wireless, validate acceptance artifacts.
📐 Global CAN SLO Guardrails
| Domain | KPI / SLO (p95 unless noted) | Target (typical) |
|---|---|---|
| Fiber Backbone | Latency campus core | ≤ 1–3 ms |
| Ethernet Fabric | Throughput | ≥ 10–400 Gbps |
| Wi-Fi 6/7 | Roam latency | ≤ 50–150 ms |
| 5G/LTE | Attach/roam time | ≤ 2–5 s |
| Security | NAC/ZTNA admit | ≤ 1–3 s |
| Evidence | Logs/tests → SIEM | ≤ 60–120 s |
| Continuity | DR cutover | ≤ 5–15 min |
🧪 Acceptance Evidence (CAN-specific)
- Fiber: OTDR light levels, splice maps, backbone redundancy tests.
- Ethernet: RFC 2544/Y.1564 benchmarks, fabric throughput evidence.
- Wi-Fi: join/roam latency logs, coverage heatmaps.
- 5G/LTE: attach/roam evidence, small-cell coverage maps.
- Security: NAC admit logs, firewall rule tests, ZTNA enforcement.
- Compliance: HIPAA/FERPA/PCI exports, immutable SIEM feeds.
All evidence is archived and streamed into SIEM/SOAR.
