We are planning to upgrade the central wireless controllers the week of 22nd June to fix a software bug. Each controller manages a different “Quarter” of campus and will be upgraded on a different morning.

Tue 23rd June - Halls & Remote Sites
Wed 24th June - Main Campus
Thu 25th June - Robinson Quarter
Fri 26th June - Medical Quarter

Upgrades will start at approx 7am each morning and wireless will be down for approx 10-20 minutes while the controllers and access points are rebooted. This will only affect buildings covered by the new Pervasive wireless.

Cabling on the remaining buildings will start June 29th and will last 4 – 6 weeks. The list of buildings is on the Pervasive Wireless Rollout Schedule.

With exams ending soon, here is the schedule for moving the next set of buildings over to the Pervasive WiFi.

Monday 8th June – Baddiley Clarke, Paul O Gorman, Sports Centre, Claremont Terrace
Tuesday 9th June – Music Studio, Building Science, Ridley (Building 1), Devonshire
Wednesday 10th June – General Hospital (CAV)

Migrations will occur during the evening from approx 6:30pm onwards. Outages will only take seconds, the time it takes to reconnect to the new access points.

Almost all buildings from work over the Easter break are ready to go live. We have a one week window before Exams start but will hold off on most of these until after exams are complete.

Wireless in the Center for Life will be migrated next Tuesday morning (12th May) at 7am.

Cabling is expected to start on the rest of Phase 3 starting June 8th.
