RWU has deployed wireless coverage in all areas of the university used for research, academic requirements and study. Now that 802.11n has become the new standard, our upgrade process has begun. In the summer of 2010 the School of Architecture and the School of Law were upgraded to the new 802.11n and this summer (2011) IT will be introducing the new standard to Cedar, Maple, and Stonewall dorms (with other dorms to follow in the near future).
IT chose to design it’s infrastructure in order to achieve the following goals:
- Ensure that bandwidth and traffic controls are put in place to ensure a feasible amount of access to all users.
- Maintain and enforce the wireless airspace policy in order to control interference.
- Utilize authentication to ensure that only the RWU community is receiving wireless access and the University is not unwittingly supplying its neighbors with access that they are not legally entitled to.
See the “Getting Started”, “Accepted Students” section for more information on network usage.
