INTO Halls

The student halls at INTO (Joseph, Cowen and Bernicia) now have pervasive wireless.

The Law School migration on August 7th was also a success so pervasive wireless is also available in Law.

King George VIth is ready to be migrated, it just needs to be scheduled, and other buildings are getting close.

Windsor Terrace (Law)

The Law School pervasive wireless will be switched over on Friday morning (7th Aug) between 7am and 9am.

We will be starting to configure other buildings from next week include Claremont Tower & Bridge, Daysh, King George VIth and Armstrong. It will be a few weeks until we can schedule migrating any of these buildings.

The controller work is proceeding well and we plan to move over the first set of buildings after the current change freeze. More details will be announced closer to the migration date.

Cabling Update

Cabling work has been progressing. Windsor Tce (Law) has been completed and a few other buildings are close to completion. There should be news soon about migration of more buildings.

As part of the pervasive wireless project we need to replace all Cisco access points, even in buildings where we are not cabling. We have recently replaced the access points in the Team Valley Library Store, and are looking at replacing other isolated access points.

We are also working on introducing a new wireless gateway which will allow us to add more wireless controllers to the network. At some point we will need to move current buildings over to controllers on the new gateway. More details and a schedule for migrations will be released when we firm up our plans.
