New wireless on the way

It's official, our new wireless equipment has been ordered and its installation has been scheduled. All parts should be here by early next week, and installation will begin on Saturday, March 16th.

While we will continue to use the existing fiber connections between buildings, we will be running new CAT5e Ethernet within the buildings to guarantee that there are no wiring issues. The goal is to get the main building and Santini Center up and running that day, and see how far we can get with the rest of the campus. Anything left incomplete will be completed over spring break.

Once done, the wireless signal should be strong throughout the campus. In fact, it will even be available on in the football stadium and baseball field. The centralized controller based system should be able to self identify and areas of weakness so deficiencies can be resolved immediately.
