More updates just in about McMaster's Wi-Fi enhancement plans for the year. We'll soon be seeing expanded wireless coverage, as well as upgrades to Wi-Fi equipment in some of the highest-use areas on campus to add additional bandwidth.
The $100,000 expansion includes 90 new and upgraded Wi-Fi access points, with 12 buildings seeing upgrades or new service, completion date is set for May, 2013.
The upgrades and new equipment will use 802.11n Wi-Fi technology, and operate on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies. This should improve availability in high-use areas such as the Student Centre.

- DeGroote School of Business
- Gilmour Hall
