WiFi Infrastructure Replacement Status August 20, 2021

The Information Technology Infrastructure and Operations teams wanted to let the community know that the WiFi Infrastructure replacement project is proceeding well. A quick summary of the current status:

• Hardware is installed in the Residence Halls. Each room with a bed has received a wireless access point. However, about 35 rooms in the Apartments are occupied. The hardware will be installed when the rooms are vacated before the start of the CAS Fall term.
• The outgoing WiFi infrastructure will be turned off in the Residence Halls by August 25, 2021.
• Hardware for the Academic and Administrative areas has not been received due to the Global Chip Shortage. This doesn’t yet impact the planned timeline.

If you are in the area of the Residence Halls, check out our guide for getting connected to the PioNet-Resident and PioNet-Guest networks.
