��ɫTV���� has deployed wireless coverage in all areas of the university used for research, academics, and study.

We are in the process of upgrading our wireless to the latest standard 802.11ax as the industry gears up for Wifi 6. Maple and Cedar residence halls were the first to get this new standard in August of 2019, with other residence halls to follow in July 2020. The remaining campus is covered with 802.11ac ARUBA access points.

Infrastructure equipment in order to achieve the following goals:

• Utilize authentication to ensure that only ��ɫTV���� community is receiving wireless access and the University is not unwittingly supplying its neighbors with access that they are not legally entitled to.
• Ensure that bandwidth and traffic controls are put in place to ensure access to all users as much as feasible.
• Maintain and enforce the wireless airspace policy in order to control interference.
• Assume a 5-year lifecycle for wireless equipment.
