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.

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.

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.

Your computer must have a wireless network card installed. Computer manufacturers typically indicate this by saying their equipment is WiFi enabled, or that they support 802.11b or 802.11g wireless networks. On a Macintosh computer this is often referred to as an airport card.

The speed of the wireless network is 54mps; however access speed of the network depends on the technology use on the wireless network card. If the wireless network card only supports 11mbps, this will be the access speed of the network.

Yes. The UWI wireless network, which is accessible through a range of wireless-compatible devices, gives you free wireless internet access from almost anywhere on the campus. For further information or for assistance with network configuration, contact the LAN Administrator or PC Support Technician attached to your faculty, or call the UWI CITS Help Desk at 662 2002 Ext. 4357 (HELP) or by e-mail at Helpdesk@cits.uwi.tt.

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.

The wireless network at WTAMU is Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity), using IEEE standards 802.11b and 802.11g.

There is insufficient wireless signal strength at your location. Your machine should normally display a graphic showing signal strength. If it shows low signal strength, try moving your machine closer to a wireless access point, which is usually mounted near the ceiling, in the middle of rooms or hallways. It is a small book-sized box with blinking lights and mule-ear antennas. Your wireless card is incompatible with our network. We support IEEE 802.

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.

Yes. Our Complete Cover support package is available on any wireless network. We will come to visit you to inspect your current set-up and provide you with a quotation.

This site complements Microsoft Office, and certainly does not replace it. Every Windows PC ships with Outlook Express, but millions of people also use web-based email.

ApplixWare is a rich full-featured, commercial Office Suite for FreeBSD containing a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation program, vector drawing package, and other applications. The Linux version of StarOffice works flawlessly on FreeBSD. The easiest way to install the Linux version of StarOffice is through the FreeBSD Ports collection. Future versions of the open-source OpenOffice suite should work as well.

Office suites, also known as executive office suites or office business centers, provide furnished office space with voice and data capabilities, access to office amenities and secretarial services at flexible rental terms. Office suites offer companies flexibility without high costs or long-term commitments.

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.

With the 802.11g wireless standard you can have a connection of 54 Mb/sec at best (i.e. if you're right next to the access point and you are the only user). However, you rarely achieve the maximum possible speed. This is because of multiple users and signal strength. All users within range of an access point share that bandwidth, so you'll only get the top speed if you are the only person within range of that access point.

The DoIT wireless support page provides a good overview of how to connect to wireless UWNET (wireless WiscWorld).

Wireless connections provide Internet connections only. You can access the Internet and check your e-mail via the My UW portal. You cannot access WCER project drives, or print to WCER printers. Definitely. WCER provides Macintosh support and continues to grow its Mac support levels. We recently installed a Mac server to allow for greater flexibility.
