Wireless net @ ANU (1 Viewer)

[huck fenn]

I remember seeing an article in the paper a while back about wireless net being installed throughout the campus.

Anyone know anything about this? Will it be paid for by the Uni? will one be able to get it in the halls?

Wireless Networking
As many of you already know, the ANU wireless networking craze has hit the streets with huge support. Basically, you can be sitting in union court with your lap top and surfing the net for free. However, as the project is in its early stages, not all of the campus is covered yet. I am currently working with DOI to establish a list of priority areas on campus where we (students) would like to see wireless networking access. Please forward any suggestions with regard to this to sa.president@anu.edu.au <mailto:sa.president@anu.edu.au>."

This is from the ANU SA...

It doesn't cover a huge area of campus at the moment but they are always working to expand it. It works in most of the major librarys and around the major buildings like law, commerce faculties.

It is free, and the usage quota is the same as your normal student usage quota (note: not additional) that applies to the labs. I can't remember what that is, but havn't reached it yet and I look at alot of pictures on the computers at uni, download pdfs ect.
