Wireless networking is an extension of, not a replacement for, the campus wired data network. University departments located on campus or off-campus and connected to the campus network must obtain licensed and unlicensed (as defined by the FCC) wireless data network equipment and service from the Division of Information Technology. The Division of Information Technology is solely responsible for procuring, installing, maintaining and interconnecting wireless network equipment with the campus wired data network.

The Division of Information Technology will also process and coordinate FCC licenses as appropriate and will locate antenna sites in coordination with Campus Facilities.

The Division of Information Technology establishes and maintains unlicensed wireless data standards to prevent interference and to ensure vendor interoperability. The Division of Information Technology will respond to reports of interference and reserves the right to restrict the use of wireless devices in University-owned buildings and all outdoor spaces as necessary to ensure reliability of the campus wireless network.
