Wireless Upgrades (Wednesday, December 2nd 2009 15:30)

Funded by the Technology fee, Information Technology Communications (ITC) has begun work to install an additional 400 access points on the Tampa campus, together with associated wiring, switching and power protection equipment. All the new access points support 802.11 a, b, g and n technologies for speeds of up to 300 Mb/s. The majority of the new coverage will benefit C. H. Ferguson Hall (BSN), Russell M. Cooper Hall (CPR), Edgar W. Kopp Building (ENG), Life Sciences Building (LIF), FMHI (MHC), Mathematics / Physics Building (PHY) and the Social Science Building (SOC). The selection of buildings was based on consultation with Student Government; student, faculty and staff feedback; and attempts to close existing known coverage gaps. You can read more about this project and follow the progress of work on the project page.
