Wireless Network

The University Libraries provide access to the campus wireless network for students, faculty, staff, and long term visiting researchers.  Patrons can connect to the wireless network using either a secure, encrypted connection (WUFI-S) or an unencrypted connection (WUFI).  Because WUFI-S provides increased levels of security and additional features, this is the preferred access method.

The Campus Wireless Network

The University began a transition to Meru Networks wireless technology in 2006.   While individual schools and departments provide wireless access points, the network itself is operated by Network Technology Services. 

The University Libraries, along with many other areas, have been fully moved to the new Meru technology but other areas on campus may be using older Blue Socket technology for several months in the future.

The Meru technology provides several advantages over the older technology including support for a larger number of users, faster connections, and easier deployment.
