Additional information

What is wireless?

Wireless is simply a way for a our students and staff to connect to the University network, and from there, the Internet, without being physically tethered to a network outlet. As its name implies, you don't need to plug a wire from the back of your device into a network port - freeing you from working in a fixed location. Of course, you'll still need batteries to supply your power - or a long extension lead!

What's the benefit to me?

The major benefit to students and staff is Internet access 'anywhere' on campus. Provided you're in a wireless zone, you can connect your wireless device and access the Internet without battling red tape. You can access the Internet in many areas that don't have a traditional network installed, such as campus caf茅s, the Library, and lecture theatres. You can take advantage of good weather and work outside, or connect during a lecture.

Other benefits may include students and staff developing more innovative and flexible approaches to the learning experience.
