Wireless Refresh

The University is using Aruba equipment for the next cycle of wireless refresh. After an extensive evaluation, ITS selected Aruba Networks as the preferred vendor to meet UNCG's wireless network requirements most effectively at the best price. Upgrading the campus wireless network allows ITS to design a long-term sustainable wireless network that operates as efficiently and cost effectively as possible.

Academic buildings and a few other buildings on campus have been identified as Phase I or Phase II buildings; these buildings will have the new wireless networking equipment installed by the end of June 2008. Remaining buildings will be scheduled as funding becomes available. Ultimately, the wireless network will be expanded to provide ubiquitous, full campus coverage.
