Internet & Network

Network Modernization

Since December 2023, the Division of IT has been undertaking a significant multi-year enhancement to our campus infrastructure through the network modernization project. Continuing through early 2027, the project enhances and expands both Wi-Fi and wired internet coverage spanning 150 buildings across campus.

What to Expect:
  • Faster Speeds: The upgraded WiFi network will provide faster and more reliable internet speeds, ensuring a smoother online experience for all users.
  • Enhanced Coverage: The new infrastructure will extend WiFi coverage to previously underserved areas, ensuring a more comprehensive network throughout each building.
  • State-of-the-Art Technology: Our upgraded system will leverage the latest in 6e wireless technology, ensuring compatibility with current and future devices.
Schedule:

Phase 1: The first phase of upgrades began in December 2023 and completed in December 2024. The first phase included implementing Wi-Fi and wired network upgrades in 27 buildings across our university campus.

Phase 2: The second phase of upgrades began in January 2025 and includes Wi-Fi and wired network upgrades in 67 buildings across our university campus. In the majority of these buildings, Wi-Fi will be improved first, followed by wired network upgrades at a later date.

During the upgrade, there may be brief interruptions to the Wi-Fi service in these buildings as the upgrades are implemented. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding as we work to enhance our campus technology infrastructure.
