Salisbury, MD | All about competition All the Universities now are planning on complete wireless. Even those that werent thinking about it a year ago are thinking about it now, due to competition from other schools with full wireless coverage.
At Salisbury University in Maryland, we plan to have the entire campus covered within the next year. We have had students come to us asking "is your campus covered completly with wireless?". Seems thats the big push now for Universities. | |

Canada | I never understood the term "competition" in such a setting.
I believe that the situation is much better here in Canada

Milledgeville, GA | Just making wireless available is quite easy. The hard part is doing so in a secure (from the college's standpoint) and consistent manner.

| UAA and UAF in Alaska are both wirefree Universities of Alaska, (Fairbanks and Anchorage campuses) are wireless all over the campus. The Anchorage campus is a little more impressive as the campus is a lot more spread out (covers about 9 sq mi. vs UAFs 5 sq. mi).

| | Bout time..... How long before some campus has streaming classes? I think that would be a cool idea - you're sick, or just plain hung over, open the laptop, log into the class feed, and get your lecture. Problem with that is no one would show up for class anymore. LOL! | |

1 edit | Misleading caption The 36% are not completely wireless. The intended meaning is that they have full wireless coverage, not that they're ripped out the wires and have no networking other than wireless. They still have wires, but now have full wireless in addition. | |

kudos:1 | stupid 802.11* solutions are bound to fail, you need alot of real wired ethernet ports available, by the time all the Skype and online gamers are done with eating bandwidth, p2p slaughters whatever is left over. Ever seen a 2 AP, 3 channels each, 11B APs for a cafeteria goto 30kbitps down according to speakeasy? | |

kudos:2 | Re: stupid actually it works nicely. My school is 80 % wireless with 20% to be added by end of the year. I never had a problem connecting to the wireless network while in class or around the campus. | |
|
| | Rutgers Newark This sure as hell ain't true for Rutgers University - Newark. They got about 10% of the campus with wireless, no wireless in the dorms, and its wireless security features suck it bans users for going to a suspicious page its ridiculous.
Actually the more ridiculous part is its dorm bandwith allowance. 4gbs/1gb every 7 days | |
