ITS Update: Campus Wireless Projects

Greetings All,

This note is to inform you that the wireless networks on both campuses have been activated. These networks are secured, which means that you have to use your UVI network login and password to use the wireless on any wireless device. This includes handhelds or laptops. Please call the help desk if you have any problems or questions. ITS will be monitoring utilization and performance over the semester.

While we covered as much area as we could with the funding available, there may be some areas that we need to add receivers. If there are classroom areas that don’t have adequate coverage to meet curriculum needs, please make a request through your Dean. ITS will work with the Deans on priorities to add coverage when FY2010 monies become available. Although this project will add coverage to many office areas, it does not provide coverage to all office areas. If department heads would like to add coverage to their offices please contact the helpdesk and we can let you know what the cost would be and when installation can be scheduled.
