The UK Health Protection Agency advises that on the basis of current scientific information WiFi equipment satisfies international guidelines and, therefore, there is no reason why schools and others should not use WiFi equipment. In addition, the WHO concluded in May 2006 that '...there is no convincing scientific evidence that the weak RF signals from base stations and wireless networks cause adverse health effects.

Submit a TNS work order request and we will do a site survey and let you know what the cost will be to provide wireless coverage in your area.

Yes, it is possible to have wireless connectivity at your home or office, but specific equipment is required. We recommend that you consult our technical support staff before buying any wireless equipment.

Please send an e-mail to neteng@uconn.edu including the following information about your project: Building name, and specific locations for coverage, operating system platform(s), applications etc. This information will be used to help design and recommend the best solution for your needs.

Limit the number of DHCP addresses to the number of wireless access points that you will be using. Optionally, set static IP addresses, set to non-standard network blocks. Consider using VPN, SSL, Firewalls, RADIUS, Kerberos or other access control, or end-to-end encryption. Most of these can be integrated into your 802.11b appliance.

The campus wireless network can handle hundreds of users logged in at any one time, but the more active users, the slower the network becomes. On average, one access point can handle approximately 30 users without a noticeable degradation in performance.

Yes, although Air-Band uses the 2.4 GHZ frequency band. Our equipment uses a frequency hopping system which means that data is sent by a different frequency every 50th of a second. If the signal finds a frequency that is being used by another device (e.g. your wireless network) it will simply 'hop' to another unused frequency. The equipments 'intelligence' means it will soon 'learn' which frequencies are occupied by your own network devices and will know not to try to use them.

A wireless print server must be connected to your dedicated printer. Once an IP address is established you must enter into the iScribe application Print/Preferences tab. Please contact iScribe customer service if you need assistance with this advanced feature.

No. Mobile-DBA is network independent and operates on both wireless LANs or cellular networks. If you don't already have a WLAN in your office then all you need is a wireless device with a wireless card (CDPD, CDMA, etc.) and an account with a wireless carrier like ATT, Cingular, Sprint, ..

Please refer to the Physical Network Access policy. In general, it is not recommended that you extend the network wirelessly or by other means. If you would like to have wireless in your area, please contact UITS Network Engineering. Wireless networks should be open to community members and service should be consistent across the campus. Yes. UConn wireless requires you to register your session at the UConn Wireless login page before you can start a wireless session.

We rely on high-speed wired connections to work in the design studio. The use of our software requires communication between the workstation and our application servers. Also, there is some network storage for data utilized by students within a design studio. The transfer of large files/data and information during application use is inefficient with current wireless technology. Wired connections are faster and more secure. (top)

Probably. Any wireless receiver supporting the industry standard 802.11b or 802.11g protocols should work. However, in rare cases, we have found wireless receivers which had compatibility issues with the computer upon which it was installed.

Emphatically not. Netstumbler is a good and courteous listener. It only records those elements of data that the access point (AP) makes public. It has no machinery for sniffing packets, reverse-engineering passwords, or even connecting to an unprotected network. Furthermore, NetStumbler respects the wishes of network owners in terms of the public visibility of their networks: If the owner of an AP disables the AP's beacon broadcast, NetStumbler will not detect it.

No. The best solution to this problem if you must print immediately is to transfer your document to a floppy or USB flash drive and bring the disk or drive to the Academic Technology lab on the ground floor of the library for printing.

If you are using web-based mail, then the answer is yes. For security reasons many non-standard Internet ports are blocked on the wireless network, so non-web-based email will not work. We recommend that you do not try to download large email attachments or run streaming media over the wireless network.

A wireless network is a Local Area Network (LAN) that replaces wires and cables with radio frequency (RF) connections. Wireless networks have a relatively small coverage area, between zero and 300 feet per radio transceiver depending upon the surrounding building structure. Wireless networks give you the freedom to access the Internet, email, instant messaging services and your company's network anywhere within the signal coverage area.

We have different wireless areas on campus that can be used by students. The main academic building, library, theatre arts center, student center and some outdoor areas on campus provide wireless network access. The network is accessible with the wireless standard of 802.11b, as well as 802.11g in specific areas.
