We expect to begin testing this service inside the Uris Library during the summer, and probably launch it by fall. The wireless network is available to Columbia students, faculty, and staff and offers fast and reliable data connection speeds of up to 11Mbps. Coverage is currently limited to some key outdoor common areas and various classrooms and lounge areas. Coverage will improve as the wireless network is expanded to accommodate the entire campus. The new wireless network offers all the computing services that the wired network does.
Wireless users can roam throughout the coverage zones and remain connected to the network.
Several club officers have requested more information on building and maintaining their club s website. We will announce the date soon. A new CD-Recordable drive is available for students to make backups. This drive complements the Zip drive that is already available. More information with instructions on how and where to use this drive will be made available shortly.
