ITS is responsible for coordinating Wireless Local Area Network hardware
across the CU Boulder campus to ensure optimal network coverage, secure
access, and general network stability. Wireless technology is easy to
deploy, but is highly sensitive to overlapping frequencies. In addition,
access points can act as routers or DHCP servers if configured incorrectly,
which can disrupt service to other network users. For these reasons, ITS
is charged with managing wireless technology on campus in a centralized
fashion to ensure functionality, maximum bandwidth, and security.
ITS has installed wireless access points in many locations on campus
which have been paid for with student funding; and the list of covered
locations is expanding. In other locations, departments have provided
funding for ITS to install permanent wireless networks in their areas.
If your department is interested in getting wireless networking in your
area, ITS can provide site surveys and cost estimates for a professional
wireless installation which includes ongoing support and maintenance.
Contact the Wireless Access Team for more information.
If you have already set up a wireless access point, it is important to
contact the ITS Wireless Team because incorrectly configured access points
can disrupt network services for many other campus network users. ITS
will work with the access point owner to be sure it is set up correctly
and does not interfere with other wired and wireless networks.
