Please join us for a special ITS Tech Partners meeting. Rick James, our wireless network administrator, will provide a behind the scenes tour of Middlebury’s wireless network. He’ll start with some basic information about how wireless networking works and how it is different than wired networking. He’ll then describe Middlebury’s wireless architecture and how it has evolved over the last several years, including the recent extension to our Monterey, CA campus so that now wireless at MIDD and MIIS operate as one logical wireless network. Rick will demonstrate how we use some of our monitoring tools to plan our wireless network deployment through a building, how we troubleshoot issues, measure performance and capacity. Additionally, Rick recently analyzed a student survey of our wireless services, he’ll share the results and seek your input on constructing a similar survey for faculty and staff.
If you ever wonder how wifi works and Middlebury future plans for wireless, be sure to attend this ITS Tech Partners meeting. All are welcome, please share with others you think might be interested.
